Tri Town Bicycles was opened by two endurance coaches in Boise, Idaho in 2011. Our foundation was built on understanding and addressing the needs of triathlon clients and offering a "complete solution" for their endurance passion. We have developed a business that meets the demands, expectations, and requirements of one of the most detail-oriented sports in the world.
Over time, we have come to realize that the skills, systems, services, and details that serve our triathlon clients well are appreciated and relevant to all cyclists, regardless of their cycling discipline. Today, we happily serve all cyclists, with an emphasis on world-class service and quality products.
Boise is becoming the country's next outdoor mecca, known for its beautiful roads, trails, mountains, and lakes. We love serving this community and strive to stay at the forefront, helping our clients embrace endurance sports.
We provide world-class products and services for the inspired endurance athlete.
Continuous improvement: We work to continuously improve ourselves, business, systems, products, and services. If we cannot be best-in-class in a category, we adjust and innovate to compete at the highest level.
Attack complexity: We seek to reduce confusion by attacking complexity and pursuing simplicity. We break complex challenges into simple, actionable solutions.
Think like an athlete: Athletes balance technique, power, and speed to achieve exceptional results. We operate the same way, refining our technique through continuous improvement.
Be quick, but don’t hurry: We move quickly in operations and service, but not at the expense of quality.
Build and serve the community: We exist to serve our community and our employees, improving the quality of life for everyone we work with and serve.
Honesty, no matter what: Honesty keeps life and business simple. We are honest with our customers and with ourselves, driving innovation and continuous improvement.

"Dom" is the person who can keep the staff on task, buy merchandise, fit you for a wetsuit, drive you to the airport and have an extra pair of goggles for your open water swim all in the same day. Dom's background is in swimming and soccer. After years of youth and collegiate soccer she settled down to start a family. Their daughter, Bailey, began swimming at a young age rekindling her fire for the sport. When triathlon became Bailey's sport of choice she dove head first into learning more about open water swimming.
Dom is a staple in our Tri Town swim scene whether it be on deck during our winter instructional time in the pool (reminding you to “Get in the pool! The water will be just as cold in 5 minutes.”, “Remember to bilateral breathe!” “Neutral neck positioning.”) or at the pond helping with open water techniques (“Yes, it's colder than the pool!”, “Don't forget to blow your bubbles.”). You can typically find Dom at most races, making sure the athletes have everything they need for their race, cheering til she's lost her voice, and post-race hugs. Most of the time she's yelling at Travis Wood, trying to keep him out of her hot tub. In the off-season you can find her skipping work to go snowshoeing or skiing.

Travis got into triathlon to impress a college girlfriend’s dad. With only a background in running, there was a lot to learn. He raced with the Boise State Triathlon Club for 3 years, before graduating with a Human Biology degree. Post college, he decided to go all in on triathlon. Travis has raced in the collegiate club scene, nationals championships, world championships in three distances, and holds multiple course records. In 2019, he had multiple age group wins in the 70.3 distance, and an overall win in the USAT Sprint Distance National Championship. Through trial and error, he is an expert in triathlon equipment and loves all things swim-bike-run related. His favorite fruit is the strawberry, and he enjoys gorging on copious quantities of carbohydrates. In 2020, he began racing as a professional athlete. You can follow his progress on Instagram

Ben developed a passion for cycling when he was 12 and it wasn’t long until he was all in. He spent all his high school years racing mountain bikes in NICA where he racked up plenty of varsity podiums and the occasional win. After high school, Ben transitioned into road cycling where he rides and races as much as he can. As a 19 year old Ben is chasing his goal of becoming an under 23 national champion.
Ben is what you would call a cycling nerd. He spends way too much time learning about the most obtuse topics cycling has to offer. To subsidize his cycling ‘habit’ Ben realized that he could focus his attention on the inner workings of the bicycle. At 13 he unofficially joined Tri Town’s team by trading hours spent cleaning for hours of one on one mechanical training. By 14 Ben officially joined the team and has worked as a mechanic with us ever since.
In his free time Ben attends the College of Western Idaho pursuing a business/economics degree. He is also working through his pilot certifications with the hope of flying as a commercial pilot one day. Ben’s favorite food while riding is a package of pop tarts. If you want to spot Ben out on the road, just look for the cyclist with mis-matched kit and bright pink socks.
