How It Works
01: Book Online
Reserve your bike in advance to guarantee availability. Fill out your booking form to help us dial in your bike setup, helmet, and protective gear sizing before you arrive.
We also offer affordable accident damage insurance—because we know that sometimes, the best rides come with a few scrapes.
A $2000 credit card pre-authorization is taken for each rental bike.
02: Pick Up & Ride
Your adventure starts as soon as you pick up your bike! Meet us at the shop, provide a credit card and matching ID for a security bond, sign a short waiver, and work with our expert team to ensure your setup is dialed in before heading out.
If you need your bike delivered to a North Vancouver riding destination, just ask—we offer group rental drop-offs!
03: Explore & Enjoy!
All our rental bikes are set up tubeless and come with flat pedals, a CO2 pump, multi-tool, spare tube, a puncture repair kit, and a bottle cage—so you have everything you need for a worry-free ride.
