Description

Summit County resident and Biked Goods founder Tyler Zipperer is set to release the third edition of his “Bakin’ Biker” cookbook.





The 2026 edition comes after Zipperer navigated a year full of unforeseen changes in his own personal life.





“Earlier this spring I lost my full-time job that was in marketing and software,” Zipperer said. “Luckily it opened up the door for me to do more coaching with Team Summit. I was running a lot more camps. I was outside, working out in the field with kids through trail projects. With that came a lot of changes to my personal lifestyle.”





With his days looking a lot different than before, Zipperer utilized the extra time at home by going all in his business, Biked Good. When he was not out hosting mountain bike camps or overseeing youth team rides, Zipperer was busy working in the kitchen, developing as well as perfecting recipes for the “Bakin’ Biker ’26 Cookbook”.





“Well as before I was kind of working from home in a remote job, now I was out biking on trails and at trailheads,” Zipperer said. “That is kind of the themes behind the recipes.”





Similar to previous editions of the cookbook, the 2026 version is filled with more than 110-plus simple, packable and nutrient-dense recipes that look to keep readers energized and recover faster from whatever activity they love to do.





Some of Zipperer’s favorite recipes from the most recent cookbook include sweet and salty rice crispy bars, oatmeal date cookies, fig energy bars, seasonal veggie frittatas and sustainable power bowls. Zipperer likes to pack oatmeal date cookies for his bike rides, giving himself a special, whole-foods treat mid-ride.





“The oatmeal date cookies are on the cover and have been some of my favorites,” Zipperer said, “whether it is a sweet treat at night or I take them on a ride. I believe that cookies are ideal cycling fuel. They are made with simple ingredients. It is a nice snack to have out while you are biking.”





The cookbook is currently available for pre-order at BikedGoods.co.





“I always use my business as a way to help give back to organizations that are either helping to feed kids or get kids out on bikes,” Zipperer said. “I am donating 10% of each cookbook to No Kid Hungry. Every pre-order provides 25 meals for kids in need. My goal is to get 2,026 meals to go for the 2026 edition. Right now I am about at 1,800 meals that will be provided to kids through the holiday.”
