Ima coming to alaska next wednesday. it's a family vacation, 2 week cruise thing, a week of land stuff and the second week of a cruise.

i'd really really like to ride. bringing my bike is not an option but bringing my fav pedals and shoes is, just in case, I could rent something and ride somewhere.

any ideas where to go or even rent from somewhere. Here's where, I'l be...

Fairbanks
Denali wilderness lodge
Talkeetna
Anchorage
Whittier
Skagway
Juneau

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Places to rent

Here's some local places in Anchorage to rent bikes:

Alaska Mountain Bike Source - 1-888-989-8844 or www.alaskamtnbike.com (the website sucks)

Downtown Bicycle Rental - (907) 279-5293 / www.alaska-bike-rentals.com

Sunshine Sports - (907) 272-6444

Not sure what kind of bikes they all rent or how decent they are, but there's tons of riding both road/bike path and mountain biking here...just post what you want and we'll help you find it.

Have fun!

I know there is also that place on the Kenai across from Crescent Lake Campground that I believe runs bike tours and rents Konas. I always forget to write down there name or stop in and find out there website. Anyone know?

I also think the bike shop in Seward that is in the old train car may rent Specialized bikes..but I am not 100% sure of that.
