Founded in 2023, Bike Wallace, The Adventure Hub’s latest addition specializes in helping travelers experience Wallace and the Silver Valley by bike. Headquartered in the old Walter J Frank Buick dealership building, built in 1915, Bike Wallace offers bike rentals and will soon be adding repairs and tours. Why Wallace, you ask? Two world class paths, Trail of the Coeur d’Alene and the Route of the Hiawatha combined with over 1,000 miles of mining, logging and Forest Service roads that have been turned in to the world’s largest MTB trail system. Why else?
There are several of reasons to visit Wallace. Known Playfully known as the “Center of the Universe,” Wallace is a town packed with history and character. In fact, Wallace continues its 100-plus year run at the world’s largest silver producer – making it the richest mining town still in existence and the entire town is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You’ll likely get the feeling that you have gone back in time as you cruise around the many historic buildings of this longtime mining town.
Todd Starnes, Owner
Todd jumped into Adventure Travel never truly imagining where it would take him personally or professionally. 15 years later he has traveled the world, met the most interesting people, both within the industry and guests while on tour, many of whom he now considers to be lifelong friends. With a degree in Sports Science and a Masters Degree in Business Administration, Todd was hoping to land somewhere that would allow him to put both his degrees to good use. Adventure Travel has proven to be the perfect place to apply his passion for health and fitness and his fascination with small businesses. Todd is now owner of six small Pacific Northwest Adventure Travel businesses, all with the same mantra of small groups, guided and fully supported experiences. Todd stays actively involved in the businesses guiding tours and working with his amazing team to continually add new tours while looking for opportunities to enhance the existing line up of tours. When not on tour, you will typically find Todd – you guessed it – riding his bike, skiing or simply enjoying the great outdoors.
