Picture this: You just got done riding your bike on some of the most beautiful trails you've ever seen. The colorful rocks and stunning views on these trails has left you feeling like you'll want to remember this trip for the rest of your life. So you pop into the local bike shop on your way home and find something special to remember your new favorite place.
At Bivo, we love working with shops to create custom bottles! Red Rock Bicycle Co. in St George, Utah continues to surprise us with their thoughtful designs, incorporating elements from the surrounding landscape. We are actually obsessed with their designs :) We asked them to share some words with us about their shop, plus why custom bottles work so well for them!

Red Rock Bicycle Co. started with a simple idea: share the love of cycling and the beauty of Southern Utah. We opened our doors to help riders explore the red rock landscapes and enjoy the outdoors. Over time, we’ve grown into a trusted local shop where people come for bikes, gear, and advice. We own it.

Community is everything to us. We organize group rides, skills clinics, and local events to bring riders together. Our goal is to make everyone, from beginners to seasoned cyclists, feel welcome and connected. We're inclusive.

Our customers love these bottles! They’re practical, look great, and work very well in our hot desert climate. Every time we restock, they sell fast because riders want gear that feels local and personal. We believe in being rider first.

For any birder, folks always ask you - “what bird did it for you?” or “what bird gave you the spark” - it was that great egret on the cool winter morning in South Atlanta. I was mesmerized by their majesticness and how still they sat along the water, patiently awaiting and planning its next meal.
Over the next few months, I would bird wherever I could - by myself, and finding others to tag along with. I messaged a few Black women on the internet who lived in Atlanta who were avid birders and asked if I could hang out with them - 3 of which I now bird with regularly!
For my birthday in August of 2023, I shared with the internet that I wanted to gather some Black birders to join me for a birthday birding trip at Clyde Sheppard Park, a quaint, quiet neighborhood part in Decatur, just east of the city. 10 people showed up and it was one of my best birding memories to date! I then started the ATL Black Birders Chat, a GroupMe for Black folks in Atlanta who wanted to bird and host meetups. That led to me discovering The Streets is Cawing, a Black birders group which is the brainchild of my friend Corvia, that I now help co-organize with her! As of last fall, I am now a certified Master Birder thanks to a program I went through with Birds Georgia, the local non profit dedicated to building places where birds and people thrive. From that, I’ve been able to meet even more people that are birding from their backyards to far reaching places all across the state.

As someone who is always on the go, birding helps me slow down and notice the world around me. It quiets my mind, forces me to be more observant, and also calms my nervous system while maintaining my homeostasis. In short, it is both a joyous activity and an immediate stress reliever.
In addition to this, I’ve gotten deep into native plants and working on creating a wildlife habitat for birds and pollinators in my front yard. Birding has made me a better Earth Steward, climate activist, and notice my impact as a consumer…everything is connected and we all have a role to play in maintaining our ecosystem, and ensuring it thrives for the long haul.
I am now THAT friend - folks send me birding videos, pictures of birds, and I get asked a ton of questions (some I know the answer to, and some I don’t!) and it’s from me sharing and seeing my bird joy that has made it sort of contagious
In a world that has so much out of our control, with so many things happening that can be extremely overwhelming and hard, I’m grateful to have found birding as a place of solace, relaxation, community, and friendship.

We take inspiration from the stunning scenery of Southern Utah! Red rocks, desert trails, and wildlife. Bold colors and local themes make the bottles stand out. We also listen to our community for ideas, so the designs feel connected to the riders who use them. We strive for constant improvement.

Make your designs tell your story. Have the same themes pop up throughout your store. Keep them simple but meaningful, and make sure they reflect your local riding culture. And order enough as well as different colors to make them all pop and stand out!
