Right on the trail, Local Motion's Trailside Center is a great place to start your trail adventure. Whether you're 6 or 60, we can set you up on a bike that's just your speed. We're open 10-6 daily from May through October.

We rent hybrid bicycles especially suited for the trail's paved and unpaved sections. We also rent a limited selection of tandem bicycles, trailers, and tag-a-longs for kids.

Our rental fleet is provided through a cooperative partnership with Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sport, Skirack, and North Star Sports. Proceeds support Local Motion's non-profit mission.

There are also a number of other outdoor shops that rent equipment. Most are members of Local Motion and we like sending them business! Tell them we sent you.
