New Collections. Limited Window. Plan Ahead for the season.

Every year, we try to create gear that tells a story about where we ride.

For 2026, we leaned into three distinct vibes - all rooted in Iowa cycling, but each with its own feel, its own rhythm, and its own reason to ride.

The result is three new collections that reflect how we experience the miles:

• Bronze Backroads
• Cantina Cruiser
• Prairie Bloom (Ladies Collection)

And just like last year - these are pre-order only (for now).

• Pre-Order Details

• Limited Pre-Order Window (don’t wait - pre-order window closes April 24th)
• Items are made after orders close
• All items in your order ship together
• Shipping timelines are listed on each item
• You'll have your new gear well before RAGBRAI

Once the window closes, production begins - and that’s it.

Why Pre-Order?

Let’s be real for a minute.

BIKEIOWA isn’t in the business of running a warehouse full of apparel.

Our #1 goal has always been - and always will be - promoting Iowa cycling and bicycle tourism. The website, the events, the coverage, the connections… that’s what we do.

But gear plays an important role.

When you buy BIKEIOWA gear, you’re not just getting a jersey or a t-shirt - you’re helping fund everything we do.

At the same time, carrying large amounts of inventory - especially heading into RAGBRAI - comes with:

• Significant up-front costs
• Guesswork on sizing and demand
• The risk of leftover inventory

So for 2026, we’re leaning into what works best:

• Pre-orders = you get exactly what you want
• We produce based on real demand
• Less waste, smarter planning
• More focus on what matters most - Iowa cycling

• Important for RAGBRAI 2026

We will NOT be carrying as much inventory on the BIKEIOWA Expo Trailer this year.

Read that again.

We’ll still have gear available - but selection, sizes, and quantities will be limited compared to past years.

This year we will continue our focus on Iowa Bicycle Tourism and the RIDE. STAY. PLAY. mantra.

If you want:

• A specific collection
• Your exact size
• Matching gear with your crew
• Or your favorite design guaranteed

• Pre-order is the way to go.

The 2026 Collections

• Bronze Backroads

Take the long way.

Inspired by Iowa’s gravel roads, quiet routes, and golden hour miles, Bronze Backroads blends heritage plaid patterns with warm bronze tones for a classic, timeworn look.

This collection is for riders who:

• Choose experience over shortcuts
• Don’t rush the route
• Value the stops as much as the miles

Cash. Cookies. Curiosity.

Because the best rides aren’t always planned.

• Shop Bronze Backroads

• Cantina Cruiser

Ride. Refuel. Repeat.

Bold, colorful, and full of energy - Cantina Cruiser brings serape-inspired patterns to the ride.

This collection captures:

• The rhythm of rolling from stop to stop
• The laughter at regroup points
• The “just one more mile” that turns into five

Perfect for riders who know the ride isn’t just about getting there - it’s about everything in between.

• Shop Cantina Cruiser

• Prairie Bloom (Ladies Collection)

Simple. Fresh. Iowa.

Prairie Bloom is inspired by Iowa’s open spaces - where the ride flows, the air feels lighter, and everything just clicks.

Look closer and you’ll see:

• Subtle Iowa-shaped patterns woven into the design
• Clean, vibrant styling
• A quiet nod to the place we call home

This one is all about feel - the kind of ride you don’t want to end.

• Shop Prairie Bloom

BIKEIOWA’s Perspective

We’ve learned a lot over the years.

Gear isn’t our business - but it supports our mission.

Pre-orders allow us to:

• Keep creating new, unique designs (because honestly… we love that part)
• Get the BIKEIOWA brand out across the state and beyond
• Fund the website, events, and everything behind the scenes
• Stay lean and focused on promoting Iowa cycling

And you play a huge role in that.

Every order helps us:

• Keep the site running
• Support events and coverage
• Continue building something bigger for the cycling community

So - sincerely - thank you.

You’re not just buying gear.
You’re helping power BIKEIOWA.

Some riders chase miles.
Some chase experiences.
