WHAT? |
More than 100 bicycles for rent. Click on Bikes in toolbar then select bike type for photos and specs. No reservations needed. We never run out. (See FAQ #1.)

 |
WHY? |
There are four paved greenbelt trails that ring the city. The 11-mile Tony Knowles Coastal Trail is the best. Together with the Chester Creek Trail, the meandering Campbell Creek Trail and the new Ship Creek Trail, they create a bike beltway.
Most renters encounter moose on the Coastal Trail in the woods between the airport's fenced runways and the ocean.
