When we began running Bike and Roll DC in 2003, we had no idea how much we would grow. We hoped that our bicycle tour and rental company would allow us to make a living while having some fun. However, within a few years we were managing thousands of bookings a year! We quickly realized that in order to run our business effectively we would need some unique and powerful software. We took months, looking at almost every reservation software available, but nothing really fit our needs.  The vendors had built "one size fits all” software that didn't truly fit the unique requirements of our business.

We decided to build a better solution that met the specific needs of a bicycle tour and rental company. Since it's initial launch in 2005 9th Gear software has booked over 55,000 tickets in 15 locations. Having such a flexible, robust system has been a major tool in allowing us to expand our business and become one of the largest bicycle tour and rental companies in the nation. And we are continually updating our software each year to add even more features to help shops like ours.

We are excited to share with you 9th Gear, our bicycle tour and rental solution. We think you’ll find it to be the very best way to manage your business, to save time and to experience the growth we’ve had.  Let us show you how 9th Gear can take running your bicycle tour and rental business from a tough slog to an easy spin.

Ride On!
