    Great service with everything you need for days in the sun!! I knew we were coming in to cruise 1st Street for the 4th of July, and Curt booked us 4 bikes - making sure he knew our heights to get the right sizes of the bikes saved for us. When we checked in, he measured and readjusted our seats, made sure to fill all tires, and helped us out with two locks and baskets - things we hadn’t even thought of but we needed! This guy knows his stuff and makes every experience FUN. Wouldn’t waste our time anywhere else: you need it, Curt’s gonna find it for you! See more..

They returned everyday that week but never saw the raccoons again or the snake. See more..
