Great experience and great bike rented - Rented a road bike. Staff were the best and very accommodating. i recommend if u do the major Santa Monica loop ride u use a third party riding app as there are a lot of turns on the first half of the ride.

Top Quality Bikes Paired with Exceptional Service - A big shout out to Santa Barbara Bikes to Go! For a family reunion we rented four bikes. Each bike was sized to each rider, expertly maintained and delivered/retrieved to our vacation rental property in the Mesa area. My Specialized 56cm Roubaix Sport was tuned to perfection and a true joy to ride. Helmets, water bottles and locks were included. They didn’t provide locks for the two road bikes for two primary reasons (1) tempting targets for theft and (2) potential damage to carbon frames from leaning. I had neglected to bring my cycling shoes but they happened (by chance) to have a spare set of shoes in my size I could borrow. I was able to rack up 50+ miles of scenic rides over two days. Incredibly friendly service. Would definitely rent again.

Best Bike Rental in Santa Barbara! - This is the best bike rental option in Santa Barbara. They offer new e-bikes and top-tier road bikes (I road a Specialized Roubaix) to beginners and experienced riders alike. Jesse and Andrei helped our group and accommodated everything we needed including a large bike frame for me (61) as well as changing out seats. I rate it 10/10 and will be coming back!
