We went to Nantucket without a plan, other than we had heard renting bikes was a good way to see the island. My spouse is not huge into riding, so I was a little nervous on the outcome. Well, Young's gives you everything you need, including well maintained bicycles, great recommendations based on your riding experience and a useful map.... More

We have stayed in Nantucket without a car before and enjoyed ourselves but renting a jeep and being able to drive all over the island was really worth it. We came in early May before the prices for everything went up. We had perfect 70 degree weather and only a few other people. We weren't alone but we didn't feel... More

Young's was recommend by our Inn who also uses their maps for directions. Very easy to find where Steamboat Warf becomes Broad St. We were going to take a guided tour with another shop, but couldn't find it even after asking at the CoC and didn't want to book ahead with rain very possible. This was much cheaper to just... More

After another local car rental place bungled a large portion of our trip, we remembered bike rentals - Young's saved the day. We set off on astonishingly comfortable bikes across a 20-mile island loop, picnic in basket, and it was the best thing we did all vacation. Young's had pristine equipment, and even the promise to come find and repair... More

Great place to rent a bike, take the map, and GO explore! We ended up biking 25 miles in one day and got "lost" once...a random passer-by in a car actually pulled over to ask us if we were lost, wanting to help us find our way. If that isn't friendly, I don't know what is! Beware, bring water and... More

With miles of bike paths, Nantucket is best toured by bike. Young's Bicycle Shop is a great place to rent a bike and get guidance on the best routes. Their map of bike paths is invaluable tool to get around the island.

This time we rented a car for the day instead of bikes. Process was equally simple and easy. The car, a Honda Civic, was very new, clean, and ready for us very quickly. So now I can recommend Youngs for both bikes and cars. and as everyone says, the best map on the island.

The wide open double-doors on this shop allowed me to wheel my bike right in instead of having to futz around finding a place to lock it up outside. When I asked for a map of the bike paths on the island, the woman at the counter was friendly and helpful, offering me "the best map on the island" which... More

I don't think we were out front of the bike shop for more than 5 seconds before we were approached by a friendly young chap with a winning Australian accent who sifted out in about 3 questions which bikes would be right for us. Like a well-planned football play, our order was communicated to another friendly college-aged kid who queued... More

We were a group of 8 and we were biked, helmeted and adjusted before we even knew what had happened! We were given options of routes of which we did 2/3 and they were fantastic! The bike paths are wonderful and for the majority of the time separated from the road. When we did need to bike on the roads,... More
