Bike the Golden Gate! Bike and Roll offers Trek bikes, rollerblades, trailers, tandems, and fun!
What’s healthy, inexpensive and green all over? Sure, spinach, but how about a bike rental? Bike riding as a leisure and travel event in urban American cities has seen an enormous increase in popularity over the last two years. This trend is in sync with the times, as these days, people are thinking more about value, their health and the health of the planet.
There was a time, not long ago when the phrase “just a rental bike” was commonplace when hiring a two-wheeler in a travel destination. Bike and Roll, located in five US cities has been changing that definition since its inception in 2001. With a focus on late model quality equipment, an emphasis on customer service and a knack for integrating the bicycle into the visitor experience, a new way of seeing long established visitor icons has emerged on the travelers “To Do List”.
In Chicago, Miami, New York City, San Francisco and Washington DC., where Bike and Roll has set up operations, they provide more than a bicycle. Keeping the focus on fun, Bike and Roll plans cycle routes that incorporate as many of the local attractions as possible along safe and easy riding routes. From the customer service greeting, to the comprehensive equipment and mapping programs, to added value packages, the Bike and Roll product is setting a new standard for bike rentals and daily bike tours in the United States.
Due to Bike and Roll’s network of rental operations along the New York City Greenway, connecting to many of the “Big Apple’s” long-standing attractions is easier and more fun than ever. A visitor can ride the new Greenway bicycle path and connect Central Park, Hudson River Park and Battery Park while visiting iconic attractions such as the Intrepid Museum, the Statue of Liberty or South Street Seaport along the way. Connectivity is a theme as the bikes can be combined with the NY Water Taxi to access all the New York City boroughs by bike or boat. “Many people don’t realize that there is a car-free bike path in New York City. I’ve ridden bikes in many places and one of my best rides ever was an evening excursion along the NYC Harbor, over the Brooklyn Bridge with a stop at the world famous Grimaldi’s Pizzeria in Brooklyn for dinner. That was an experience I’ll never forget”, says owner Darryll White.
Imagine leaving Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, riding a bike path along the San Francisco Bay, through the Presidio and Golden Gate National Recreation Area, over the Golden Gate Bridge, and into Sausalito where one can board a ferry for a boat cruise back across the bay. Thousands of visitors make this journey on a daily basis throughout the peak visitor season as the Bay Trail bicycle ride has emerged as a must do visitor event in the city by the bay. For the more adventurous, San Francisco sits just below the Marin Headlands where the origins of mountain biking can be found. In addition to its line of comfort bikes for leisure riding, Bike and Roll offers a full line of high-end bikes for the more experienced or more adventurous rider.
In the US Capital, the National Mall remains one of the most popular visitor destinations. With a bike and walking path that circles the entire Mall and also connects monuments just off the Mall, a bicycle is the perfect way to experience Washington DC. Extremely popular in the springtime when the cherry blossoms come into bloom, a visitor can take in all the natural beauty while riding a bicycle from one museum or monument to another. The Bike and Roll DC portfolio includes the “Capital Sites, Monuments” and the “Sites @ Night” tours. Owner, Stephen Marks indicates that, “lots of people enjoy the freedom of an individual rental but the bike tour experience in DC will always remain significant and the heart of our business. There is so much history here and no visit would be complete without connecting to the information that makes the experience so relevant”.
Bike and Roll also operates at more traditional beachfront and park locations such as South Beach, in Miami Beach, Florida and Chicago’s beautiful beaches along Lake Michigan. From the beach cruiser to the high-end race bike, from the bicycle for two to the kids trailer, Bike and Roll offers a comprehensive package of bicycle equipment and accessories for anyone from a novice to an expert rider. Locks, maps, riding directions, helmets are always free of charge. Rent a bike or take a tour in one location and receive automatic enrollment into their “Riders Club” program, which entitles the customer to future discounts at all Bike and Roll locations.

Whether visiting a US city for the first time or coming back for a second look, the view from a bicycle offers a different perspective that is in keeping with the times.
