Will<p>I went to Bentonville, AR with my family for spring break and to check out the biking scene. My wife and older daughter had their first ride on mountain bike trails, and I got to take my youngest around on an electric Gnargo cargo bike, which turned out to be an excellent option. Airship Coffee in the Coler MTB reserve was especially cool. Really excellent work from everyone involved. My wife really liked the Slaughter Pen trails. Highly recommend! <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/bikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikes</span></a> <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/gnargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnargo</span></a> <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/bentonville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bentonville</span></a></p>
