Revenue model

1. Guided Mountain Bike Tours: The primary revenue stream comes from selling guided mountain bike tour experiences at various price points. Tours range from half-day introductory rides ($195-$239) to full-day advanced tours ($295), plus specialty tours like the Snoqualmie Tunnel tour ($229) and city e-bike tours ($147). All tours include bike rental, equipment, guide services, transportation, and snacks/beverages.
2. Mountain Bike Rentals: Standalone bike rental service for self-guided riders. Offers standard aluminum frame bikes at $70/day and premium carbon frame bikes at $100/day. Includes helmet, water bottle, and full-suspension mountain bike professionally maintained.
3. Gift Certificates: The company sells gift cards with customizable values through FareHarbor, providing an additional revenue stream and customer acquisition channel through gifting occasions.
4. Custom Group Tours: Private custom tours for groups, corporate events, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and families. Pricing is customized based on group size, duration, and complexity. These typically command premium pricing and provide higher per-booking revenue.
5. Multi-day Tours via Sister Company: The company refers customers seeking multi-day adventures to sister company Sacred Rides, which operates 5-7 day or custom multi-day mountain bike tours. While Seattle Mountain Bike Tours facilitates the referral, the actual multi-day tour revenue flows to Sacred Rides.
