Passion Meets Creativity
Founded by artist and avid mountain biker, Garrett Shaw, Ride Free Apparel was born out of a simple desire for authentic, personalized mountain bike apparel. In 2020, Garrett embarked on his mountain biking journey, only to find a lack of fun, expressive apparel that truly resonated with his adventurous spirit.
Determined to inject his own artistic flair into the world of mountain biking, Garrett turned his passion for creativity into action. Armed with his artistic talents, he began crafting custom jerseys for himself and a close circle of friends. The response was immediate and overwhelming—riders craved apparel that not only performed on the trails but also reflected their unique personalities and styles.
Today, Ride Free Apparel stands as a beacon of creativity and individuality in the local mountain biking community of Powell River. Collaborating with fellow artists, riders, and creatives, Garrett continues to push the boundaries of custom apparel, offering riders the opportunity to express themselves boldly on every trail they conquer.
