Ride Before You Decide

Bellingham Bike Rentals

Whether you're visiting from out of state, exploring Bellingham for the day, or looking to test out your next dream bike, we've got you covered with a fleet of dialed, drool-worthy demo bikes.

If you decide to purchase a complete bike of the same model within one year of your rental, we’ll credit the cost of your demo—up to three rental days—toward the price of your new bike.
