Vail bike rentals abound in Vail Village, Lionshead and West Vail, with gear including kids’ bikes, tag-alongs, trailers and mountain-bike rentals.
Biking is one of the most popular things to do in Vail in summer, from pedaling the Vail Pass bike path for unmatched mountain views to casual rides around the idyllic villages. Riding around is made a whole lot easier with the help of Vail’s many bike-rental locations. Bike shops can also be helpful resources for trail and safety recommendations.
Pro tip: Have fun, be safe and remember to heed the Vail Village bike-dismount zones — areas designated for foot traffic only.
Mountain-Bike Rental Information
Vail mountain biking is a thrilling adventure, from the downhill intermediate singletrack to mellow, kid-friendly jaunts. Trek through backwoods dirt trails surrounded by wildflower-speckled meadows or roll downhill to feel the Colorado air softly whooshing across your face. Either way, there are plenty of mountain-bike-rental options in Vail, like True North, that offer bicycles, helmets, and knee and elbow pads to get you coasting on your way.
Road-Biking Rental Information
If a paved path is more your speed, there are plenty of road-biking routes that’ll get your blood pumping. Rather enjoy an easy-going trip while taking in the views? Discover Vail’s charm at a leisurely pace with motorized e-bikes from Vail Bike Hub or pedal around motorless on comfortable cruisers. You can also grab safety equipment in the many rental shops around the villages.
