Rentals Support Local Motion's Advocacy Efforts

 

121008 KRose 027Right on the trail, Local Motion's Trailside Center is a great place to start your bicyling adventure. Whether you're 6 or 60, we can set you up on a bike that's just your speed. We're open daily from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day weekend.

We rent hybrid and comfort bicycles especially suited for the trail's paved and unpaved sections. We also rent cruiser-style tandem bicycles as well as bikes, trailers, and tag-a-longs for kids.  Proceeds support Local Motion's non-profit mission.
