The people here were so great about asking where you planned to go so they could get you the correct bike. They also helped with planning our trip throughout the island.

Staff are very patient...we rented a tandum and they let you try any bike before taking off. Free water, free basket, free helmut and no deposit...we had a blast!

I have rented bikes here before, but we took our own this trip. Halfway around the island, my chain broke. I stopped at MIB and they fixed it right away, for a very reasonable price, especially for the island. Everyone I spoke to at the shop had a smile and friendly word. I saw some of them off duty, and... More

I already knew I wanted to rent a bicycle on the island, but when I saw how many people were riding around, I wanted to ride immediately. That was a bit of a problem because each bike rental place had a long line. The lines were moving quickly, but there was still a significant wait. We were lucky enough to... More

We rented 2 tandem bikes and one individual bike. After doing an inland carriage tour, it was great to take the easy bike ride around the outside of the island. You can stop and start as you choose, as you are charged upon your return. No problems with any of the bikes. The kids loved it.

This is a very memorable activity for any family to do. The staff were professional and extremely courteous. Not many people can say they've biked around an "island". Granted it was only 8 miles - but lots to see and I recommend taking a camera for the points of interest. Another recommendation on this is, if your short on cash... More

Planning our trip I had some concerns about which bike shop to choose on the island. I'm glad I went with this one. The girl checking us in was so nice and helpful. They guys pulling the bikes for us were great as well. My daughter changed her mind about which style of bike she wanted in the first mile... More

This experience was perfect for our family. We rented the bikes at dusk and biked around the island after 6 p.m. This was the perfect time to have a family of four biking, rather than the hottest part of the day. We biked again in the morning before returning our bikes. The price was good and I really appreciated the... More

The bikes were excellent. Light weight, good gears, nice seats, and just plain fun to ride. We rode around the 8 mi. island path, and it was delightful. We are not spring chickens anymore, but could do it! Great way to travel and see downtown, too. Highly recommend these bikes!

A bike shop is a bike shop. What can you really say? It was a tad on the expensive side, but everything on the island is expensive. It came with a free bottle of water, so that was nice. The bike seemed a bit too big for me and for some reason I felt horribly unbalanced. I don't know if... More
