I'm heading to SF for a week for a vacation and am not going to be able to bring the bike along. I was hoping to find a good shop that will rent me a real bike, something that I can use to hit up some of the local trails for a day or 5 without dropping a huge amount of cash if possible. On that note, what are some of the trails that I will not want to skip? I know there are a ton of options, but I'm from NC and have never been west of the rockies with a bike so I must admit to being a bit lost as to what there is to ride and do out there. Any riders in the area want to head out sometime next week and help a confused tourist, haha?
Looking for good SF shop with rental bikes (real bikes)

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping to do some longer XC rides, but I'm not looking for a rubberband bike. I wouldn't mind some more serious trails either. I wouldn't mind a bit of shuttling if there's any good dh in the area. Like I said, I've never ridden in California and all I know is what I've heard. I'm just hoping that I can find a place that will rent me a solid bike that will hold up to a couple days of abuse. Are there any group rides in the area next week?

yes, vision has gone under, and also they havent really rented bikes for a year, so this is kind of irrelavant.
