A manager at work once asked if I'd sell him "one of your extra bikes".
1) Dude, I don't have extra bikes. I love them all.
2) Dude. I'm 4'11. You are 6 sumthin'? You could use my bike as a roller skate.

Couldn't agree more. And the last bit cracked me up! Originally Posted by Trek420

I wonder if renting a bike would imply some sort of contract - and if they biff it on the bike who pays? Would you be liable? Everybody is so litigious these days.
No, I'd never rent my bikes. I would lend one to a friend but never to a complete stranger. What would you have for collateral? I don't want their children!To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

Never.
I might have rented out my Jamis (seems more like the type of bike a renter would want), but not my Kuota or my Guru.2015 Trek Silque SSL

I've loaned bikes to friends........ never rented them out. My bikes are special to me. I don't know I could let just anyone use them........ even for good money. Would have to really think about this idea.
