You've read it before, but it's true...the owner is passionate about his trade and it shows. He is helpful, informative, and has a dry sense of humor. He'll set you up with the right equipment based on your activity, skill level, route, and weather conditions.I'm really appreciative to have had his expertise when I rented my bike. You will be...

I have biked in Snowshoe West Virginia and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This Trail is just as scenic as Snowshoe West Virginia with ample stops to rest and enjoy the views. As for the bike rental, the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. It is a great way to really enjoy Anchorage and a very reasonable way to do it.... More

We rented a bike from this place and rode the Tony Knowles trail. The owner and his employee were incredibly helpful. Not only were the bikes in excellent condition, but on-board storage was also provided. All of our questions were answered, and good advice given. We would recommend this business to anyone.

I rented a bike in order to provide support for a friend of mine who was running the Moose's Tooth marathon. I knew nothing about the city and needed to meet my friend at mile 7, 14 and 21. Peter helped me to find the best routes through the city to meet my friend along the marathon course. Additionally, this... More

Peter is a pro. Whether you're taking the shuttle out to Flat Top Mountain or renting bikes for the Coastal trail, he has all the support needed to feel very comfortable. Directions are clear and Peter is very specific. His suggestions are spot on amd he has a wide variety of bikes (mountain, road, cross) as well as shoe rental!... More

We had a morning to kill and Anchorage and heard about the Coastal Trail. At 8am we met Pete who set us up, including using some packing tape for our jeans (shorts are a good idea). Clear instructions were provided with a map, a pouch to keep stuff in, and a lock. Really a good deal, I think we had... More

This shop is very close to the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail so it was easy to ride to and from the trail. The shop is well stocked with different types of bikes and the owner gave us a good overview of the trail and gave us two maps. The highlight of our ride was coming across a moose with her... More

We rented bikes late afternnon on our first day in Alaska. What a great way to start our vacation! The staff was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic and fixed us up with some terrific Cannondale bikes. The guy helping us spent a great deal of time making sure the bikes were just right and that we knew exactly where to go... More

We rented bikes here one evening and took off down the Knowles Coastal Trail. The directions and maps we were given were a big help, and bikes were easy to use. Even though we returned a little late, they were still open, and greeted us with enthusiasm. I will do this again the next time I'm in Alaska!

Rented two tandems and took them along the bike path by Cook Inlet on their recommendation. Relatively flat with some hills but awesome scenery! We had been warned that there were moose on the trail and indeed there were! Take a jacket if you go in the evening. It can get cold!
