Highlights

Head to central Santa Barbara to choose from a wide selection of electric, mountain or hybrid bikes. You’ll be outfitted with the best bike for your body and skill level and receive a helmet, water bottle and road maps.

Try an electric bike if you’re looking for a fun, relaxed way to cover lots of ground. You don’t even have to pedal as you tour the sights of Santa Barbara. This is an easy way to see lots on a bike even if you’re not an experienced rider.

Mountain bike aficionados will find much to love in the rugged terrain of the Santa Ynez Mountains surrounding Santa Barbara. Choose between XC and All-Mountain bikes. Get recommendations for trails and oceanside parks to check out on your bike. Additional equipment such as a bell, tool kit, air pump and riding pedals are all available free of charge.

Hybrid bikes offer the perfect ride for seeing as much of Santa Barbara as possible. These bikes give you the quickness of a road bike, plus the comfort of a city bike. All have a granny gear or triple to make going uphill easier, and most also have a carbon fork for a lighter, more stable ride.

Keep your chosen bike for 1 or 2 days so you can explore Santa Barbara at your leisure.

Great, affordable mountain bike rental - Rented a mountain bike for a week to go on a bikepacking trip and do some shorter rides around SB. Bike was in great shape and they outfitted me with everything I needed- helmet, lock, spare tube, CO2 canister, multi tool. Connor was super helpful. Had so much fun on the bike and for only $180 for the week- great price for a bike rental!!

Performance bike rental - We rode the Santa Barbara bike ride. The team there fitted the bike to my specs perfectly so I could ride the 100k course. Loved the bike! Great views and a fun and challenging ride on a super smooth and comfortable bike! Thank you!

Ebike is the only way to go in Santa Barbara - Ebike was a great option to see the city. We used it all over from cruising the beach, Funk zone, down town and back to our cottage.

Love this place. - Honestly this is one of my favorite businesses in the world. My plane was late so I couldn't pick up the bike in time, which was going to screw up my early morning ride the next morning ... so Tyler arranged to have my bike delivered to my Airbnb. Lifesaver! Later I got a flat and they fixed it lickety split. They just kinda make everything work. I had a blast riding all over.

Above and beyond!!!! - We love Cal Coast Adventures! We have rented bikes and paddle boards on several occasions and every time the team goes above and beyond to ensure bikes fit and perform. Most recently Conner came to the rescue when my derailleur battery was low so he lent me a battery and charged mine averting a bike ride ending incident. BTW it was my personal bike so he did not have to make such a generous offer. He did the same for my husband. Great team of people - Conner, Colin and Sean.
