The Missoula community is grieving the passing of Emily Sayler, a cherished figure whose love for cycling and commitment to community left an enduring impact. Emily, the beloved proprietor of a well-known bike shop in Missoula, died recently, leaving behind a legacy of passion, kindness, and connection.
Her bike shop was more than just a business; it was a hub of friendship and belonging where Emily shared her love for cycling. Whether repairing bikes, organizing the much-loved “new bike day,” or simply offering a smile and encouragement, Emily touched countless lives. To her staff, customers, and friends, she was not only a leader but also a source of inspiration and joy.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
Following her passing, the shop has reopened with regular business hours, welcoming customers and community members to gather, share memories, and celebrate her life. Plans are also underway for a memorial ride in her honor, giving cyclists and friends an opportunity to unite in remembrance of the vibrant woman who helped shape Missoula’s cycling culture.
The outpouring of affection and support from the community reflects the deep bonds Emily built through her dedication and warmth. Her legacy lives on not only in the bikes she helped repair and the rides she inspired but also in the spirit of togetherness she fostered.
As Missoula mourns this profound loss, Emily’s influence will continue to be felt in every pedal stroke and every shared ride. Her memory will forever remain a part of the community she loved and the shop she built with so much heart.
Our thoughts are with Emily’s family, friends, and the entire Missoula community during this difficult time.
