Whether you’re a first-time visitor, a local looking for a new adventure, or simply someone who loves to explore outdoors, our rides offer an unforgettable way to soak in the charm and culture of Bentonville.

Operating a custom-built Gnargo trike — the only one of its kind, designed and made in the USA — we bring a lively, playful energy to the thriving bike scene here in NWA. Se habla español, and everyone is welcome to join the ride!

Our Story: Why We Ride

We’re Tyler and Emily Lindsey, Marine Corps veterans and passionate outdoor enthusiasts who fell in love with Northwest Arkansas during a mountain biking trip. We launched Bad Moon to share our love for this area and help others discover its beauty, culture, and vibrant energy.

Why “Bad Moon”? It comes from a cherished childhood memory — a coveted pog Tyler always wanted but never had. For us, it symbolizes youthful wonder and adventure. That’s the feeling we want to channel into every ride: carefree, exciting, and full of possibility.

When we’re not on the trike, you’ll find us hiking, trail running, paddleboarding, rock climbing — or enjoying what we call our “adult summer camp” life here in NWA.

Built for the Community

We believe everyone deserves to experience the joy of the outdoors, no matter their background or ability. That’s why we regularly partner with local organizations, offer free or discounted rides for special events, and provide charitable rides for disabled veterans and others with limited mobility.

What People are Saying About Us

  • I hopped in the pedicab thinking I’d just get a ride downtown… now I’m engaged, fluent in Italian, and own a goat. 10/10 would ride again.

  • I laughed, I cried, I ate a snack I found in my pocket. Bad Moon is more than transportation, it’s a spiritual awakening.

  • They treated me like royalty. I’m 94% sure they rolled out a red carpet, but it might have been a picnic blanket. Either way, I felt fancy.

  • Sure, Uber has air conditioning. But do they have wind in your hair, people waving at you, and a driver who knows the best local gossip? Didn’t think so.

  • I thought this would just be a ride… but it was a vibe. Also, we saw a dog wearing sunglasses, which I’m pretty sure is a sign of good luck.
