THE FLEET

Purpose‑built gravel machines

The rental fleet includes gravel models such as the Marin Gestalt X11 and the Marin Nicasio +, offered in sizes XS–XL to fit a range of riders (size availability varies).

THE KIT

Tools and optional extras to keep you rolling

Each rental comes with a repair kit (note: a $10 + taxes fee applies if an inner tube is used) and standard flat pedals; helmets, locks, seat and frame bags, and home delivery are available as options.

THE LOGISTICS

Flexible pickup and return windows

Pick up in‑store between 10:00 and 16:00, choose delivery between 07:00 and 09:00, and expect pickup/return between 18:00 and 20:00 — a structure that supports both day rides and a full seven‑day rental period. A $300 credit‑card deposit is required at pickup.

What the day feels like

What the seven‑day rental feels like

The rental period runs as a weeklong window: bikes are handed over at the start and returned at the end of the seven‑day service, allowing riders to plan single‑day outings or consecutive days of gravel exploration. With a basic repair kit included and optional accessories to customize fit and carry capacity, riders manage their own routes and rely on the provided essentials to stay moving.
