Best Bike Rental in Santa Barbara! - This is the best bike rental option in Santa Barbara. They offer new e-bikes and top-tier road bikes (I road a Specialized Roubaix) to beginners and experienced riders alike. Jesse and Andrei helped our group and accommodated everything we needed including a large bike frame for me (61) as well as changing out seats. I rate it 10/10 and will be coming back!

Great experience renting ebikes! - Great experience - Our 11 and 14 year old kids were able to rent ebikes (Rad Runners), which many companies don't allow, and our family was given freedom to explore our town on our own timeline. The bikes were in good condition and super fun.

Ebike rental - Rented e-bikes which were well maintained and in like new condition. Many choices and sizes available with a well stocked inventory to choose from. Would definitely rent from them again.

Great experience - The team was wonderful and flexible. I can’t remember the name of the gentleman who helped us with our e-bikes, but he was incredibly knowledgeable and so, so helpful. We originally booked the kayak tour but got stuck in traffic and missed the group, and they were so easygoing about letting us rent e-bikes instead. Looking forward to going back for kayaking!

Bike Hire - We rented two road bikes — a. Trek Domaine and aSpecialized Roubaix road — the pick up and drop off was super easy. We were given directions for a fun ride along the hills behind Santa Barbara. The bikes were in great shape and the staff is friendly and helpful. We could not ask for more.
