Renting a bike in Tucson from Tucson Bicycle Rental is an easy process. Here are some of our most common questions:
Do I need to bring pedals?
YES. Please bring your pedals and shoes. We are happy to install your pedals for you when we deliver your bike. We also offer clipless pedals for rent if you don't want to bring your own, or flat pedals at no cost if you don't have your own.
Where are you located?
We are located in Tucson Endurance Performance stores at 7231 E Speedway Blvd and 6448 N Oracle Rd. We will arrange your pickup wherever it is more convenient for you.
Can I bring my own saddle?
Yes! While our bikes have high quality saddles, if you are used to your specific saddle, please feel free to bring it and we can install it for you when we drop off the bike.
Do I need to bring my own helmet?
That is preferred; however, we do have a limited number of helmets available for rent.
I have a rental car, do you have a bike rack?
Yes! We have Saris Bones 3 bike racks. They are $25 flat per week to rent (i.e., one day is $25, one week is $25, 10 days would be $50).
What if I get a flat tire when I have the bike?
