Our History

Bill’s Bike Shop was founded by Bill Murdock in 1947 and has been an iconic part of the Idaho Falls recreational community ever since, helping people of all ages discover and experience the beauty of the off-road trail, the freedom of the open road, and the serenity of the Greenbelt – a local treasure. Since its beginning, Bill’s has helped thousands discover and grow their passion for cycling. Bill's has created possibilities for healthy adventure, spirited competition, and opportunities to give back to the community.  

Passing the Torch (2010s)

Gary Wight bought the business from Bill's son, Stan, in 2011 and he continued the legacy of excellent service. Under Gary's leadership Bill's Bike Shop became Bill's Bike and Run and was quickly recognized as an expert in providing walking and running solutions for casual and serious enthusiasts alike. Bill's Bike & Run harnessed the commitment and the passion of its employees to organize and participate in numerous local events benefiting charities, schools, and other causes. 

A Thriving Present (2020s)

In the present day, Bill's Bike and Run has expanded it's offerings to include winter sports and has thus become Bill's Bike and Snow. The shop continues to stand as a thriving institution in Idaho Falls. 

Bill's Bike and Snow's commitment to its community remains unwavering. They still organize and sponsor local events and provide support to numerous charitable organizations. The shop's knowledgeable and friendly staff ensure that everyone who walks through its doors receives expert guidance and personalized service.
