Terms And Conditions; Rules
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Discover, American Express and Mastercard) as a form of online payment. ONLINE RESERVATIONS are strongly recommended as our bike rental inventory is Live! A valid driver’s license, credit card, active cell phone, and signed online waiver are required with all rentals. Have fun, but please don’t abuse our rental bikes because you are accountable for any damage to the equipment!
Do not remove wheels or attempt to repair your bike if you are not comfortable doing so; your bike may not get put back together safely. If you are renting a car rack, we exercise every caution but damage that occurs to your car from bikes or a rack is at your own risk, as well as damage to the bikes in transit.
Our bikes are not permitted inside any vehicle. This can cause damage to the bike, and we don’t want you to be responsible for anything other than your rental. There are options to ride into the park or use the Island Explorer’s Bicycle Express Shuttle (late June – late September).
Bikes must be returned 60 minutes (ONE HOUR) before closing on the due date. Late return fees apply. You must check in with the staff when you return your bike.
Our E-Bike rentals have a MINIMUM age of 18 years to ride without a parent (proof of age is required).

Multi-day E-Bike rentals must be returned EACH DAY 60 minutes before closing.
Riders under 16 MUST always wear a helmet on a bicycle (state law), including children in a trailer.
