Renting a Bike

We rent bicycles and bicycle accessories (travel cases, car racks, trailers, helmets & locks). We welcome both reservations and walk-ins, please contact us for availability and selection.

Reserving a Bike

Most of our rentals are done on a walk-in basis: first come, first serve. Our lowest rates are for walk-in rentals, but we also offer guaranteed reservations for an additional $25. Reservations cannot be canceled so please do not reserve a bike unless your plans are very firm. Rental payments and reservation fees are non-refundable & cannot be applied towards merchandise.

We may discuss specific bikes with you via e-mail or on the phone but as reservations may be made in advance, we cannot assure you exactly which bike you will get. By the time your rental comes around the initial bike we designated for you may no longer be available due to the amount or type of usage it has been put through in the interim. We can guarantee that we will provide you with a bike that we judge to be of similar size and the same or better quality than the bike that was listed on the reservation.

Information we will need to reserve a bike

  • Dates of the rental.
  • Type of riding you will do.
  • Quality level of bicycle that you would like.
  • What type of shoes you will ride in.
  • Height of the rider (if you know the size & model of a bike that fits you, please tell us.)

Security Deposit

Before renting the bike we will ask you to read and sign our liability release form. You will then be required to leave a credit card deposit (known as an “authorization”) for the value of the bicycle. This credit card authorization can range from $400 up to $5,000, depending on the value of the rental equipment. This amount will be held on your credit card, and may show up on your statement as a “Pending Sale”. The credit line is not immediately restored upon return of the rental equipment. We cannot expedite this process, depending on your bank, it may take up to 2 weeks for that authorization to disappear. Please plan accordingly.
