Frequently Asked Bike Questions
How do I pay? Bicycles are complimentary for Stanford Inn guests. (the minimum age requirement is 10 years old.) For those staying elsewhere, our rates are $45 per day, we do not offer hourly rates for bike rentals.
Where are the bike trails? The big river trail is the closest to Catch a Canoe and is excellent. It follows the river on the north side and winds its way into the woods then back to the river several times. If you rode the entire trail, it would be a 22-mile journey out and back. Check out the trail map above. ↑
What kind of bikes do you rent? Cannondale Adventure bikes and Cannondale hardtail mountain bikes.
Do you have child or pet carriers? We do not, the reason being is that the bike trail must be accessed by crossing the highway 1 bridge across big river which has a very narrow shoulder. This means the trailer will stick out into the traffic lane. We do not allow personal trailers or child seats to be installed on our rental bikes. We do loan bikes to children 10 years old and up. Several different ideas for safely carrying pets in baskets have been tried. Unfortunately, none of these worked well because some dogs jump out or if they're leashed in, they still jump out and dangle from the basket.
Do you provide locks? Yes, we do, upon request.
Do you sell trail maps? We have an excellent local trail map for biking or hiking printed on waterproof paper for $10 each, available in our shop.
