I'm a big fan of Recycled Cycles. Their rental bikes are kept up well. They also rent trailers (are you bringing kids?).
RC is half a block from the Burke-Gilman.

+1 for Recycled Cycles - just as Knot said...and I had a great experience recently for a visiting rider friend (from upstate New York), who was here for a conference.

He has raved about the whole experience here in every email/phone call we've had since...and I expect that'll continue soon, as he'll be on the same AIDS ride with me 3 weeks from now...
Tailwinds!

Thanks for the helpful info...I will check with Recycled Cycles and Montlake to confirm rental info. Is Montlake Bikes near the B-G trail? We will not be bringing kids, so no trailer is needed.

Montlake isn't quite on the BG but it isn't far away and they could easily tell you how to connect up to the trail. The others are right on/very close to the trail. Originally Posted by chel8383

I called Recycled Cycles and they do in fact rent bikes and their website has current info, so I think we'll go w/ them. Thanks to everyone for your input!! Thanks for the tip on kid rental, but we're enjoying the empty nest!!
