I'm going to be in Tuscon next week... anyone know if there is a shop nearby that would rent me a decent road bike for a day or two?
any shops in/near tucson rent bikes?

theres a bunch of shops out there......not sure if they rent bikes
but if you can get a rental, you MUST ride fantasy island

Fantasy Island... that's dirt right? I doubt I'll be getting in any mtn riding while I'm out there.douglas said:
I've only rented once and the bikes were a complete disaster. The bikes were POS's, nothing worked, completely ruined the riding experience. I can't remember exactly how much the rental cost but I doubt I saved much money compared to checking my own bike on the plane. From that day on whenever I travel to ride I take my own bike.
I'd much rather take my own bike, but I just don't have the room. Travelling with 2 young children means LOTS of **** will make the trip before my bike.
I'm going to call around to see what they rent out. While I don't need a full carbon race bike, I don't want a POS that's not worth riding.
My dad (who we are going to visit in Tucson) has a nice Giant carbon roadie, but it's a large, which I'm pretty sure is going to be HUGE.

Gave them a call... would be a cannondale R400 if I went through them.Trainwreck said:
Fair Wheel Bikes rents out Giant OCR1s... solid bike, but that funky Giant geometry. Plus, at $40 per day, I'd just take my bike out.
Why don't you just ship it to a bike shop in advance of your trip then ship it home when you are done?jacksonpt said:
I'm not sure I trust it to be shipped, plus I was hoping to try out somethign different for a few days and save some money over shipping mine out at the same time.N8 said:
However, the more I look into the rental option, the better the shipping option is looking.
Ah... too bad you aren't going to Albuquerque... there is several bike shops that will loan out top of the line bikes for holding a credit card.. I've never been charged either.jacksonpt said:
oh man... that would rock!
