Lake Tahoe mountain biking and cycling are hugely popular things to do in Tahoe that draw many enthusiasts to the area. You can ride on dirt trails, bike routes or paved roads, join in on organized rides around the lake, take classes to hone your skills and rent the equipment you need if you don't have your own. Lake Tahoe mountain bikers often take advantage of the lift-assisted trails where you ride up in a gondola or chair lift then make it down the mountain on human power.
