Truckee’s network of paved trails becomes an invitation rather than an itinerary aboard a plush Specialized Roll or a KHS Step Thru. These bikes favor an upright, comfortable position and come with the basics—helmet and trail map—so you can set your own pace, pick the routes that suit you, and ride without the fuss of technical gear.

Outing Highlights

THE RIDE

Plush comfort with an easy posture

The fleet is centered on comfort: Specialized Rolls and KHS Step Thru models deliver a soft seat and a relaxed riding position built for longer, easy days on pavement.

THE ROUTE

Scenic paved trails, self-directed

Riders use an included trail map to follow Truckee’s paved pathways at their own pace—perfect for loop rides, short excursions, or extended days exploring nearby low‑grade scenery.

THE KIT

Helmets, maps and optional extras

Every rental includes a helmet and a map; additional items such as a bike lock or a backpack are available on request, and most bikes are fitted with water bottle cages.

What the day feels like

How the five-day rental feels

This is a self-guided, low-stress bike experience: reserve a five-day rental, pick a convenient start time, collect a comfortable step-through or roll-style bike with a helmet and map, and spend your days tracing Truckee’s paved trails. The setup favors comfort over speed, so the emphasis is on steady, scenic cruising rather than aggressive riding.
