We had the most spectacularly fun time biking on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail on bikes we rented from Downtown Bike Rental. We felt fully taken care of as the staff asked us about our cycling experience and set us up with bikes that fit us well and rode beautifully. Our 6 year-old daughter did well on a ride-a-long bike... More

Being in Anchorage with no car, this discovery was fantastic for a day. The guys transported us up to Flattop Mountain for a hike (in a couple of feet of snow). They went out of their way to help us with hiking poles, proper shoes, guide map/directions. They transport you back when finished. It is an unguided hike with spectacular... More

I have biked in Snowshoe West Virginia and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This Trail is just as scenic as Snowshoe West Virginia with ample stops to rest and enjoy the views. As for the bike rental, the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. It is a great way to really enjoy Anchorage and a very reasonable way to do it.... More

We rented a bike from this place and rode the Tony Knowles trail. The owner and his employee were incredibly helpful. Not only were the bikes in excellent condition, but on-board storage was also provided. All of our questions were answered, and good advice given. We would recommend this business to anyone.

Peter helped me to find the best routes through the city to meet my friend along the marathon course. Additionally, this... More

Peter is a pro. Whether you're taking the shuttle out to Flat Top Mountain or renting bikes for the Coastal trail, he has all the support needed to feel very comfortable. Directions are clear and Peter is very specific. His suggestions are spot on amd he has a wide variety of bikes (mountain, road, cross) as well as shoe rental!... More

We had a morning to kill and Anchorage and heard about the Coastal Trail. At 8am we met Pete who set us up, including using some packing tape for our jeans (shorts are a good idea). Clear instructions were provided with a map, a pouch to keep stuff in, and a lock. Really a good deal, I think we had... More

This shop is very close to the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail so it was easy to ride to and from the trail. The shop is well stocked with different types of bikes and the owner gave us a good overview of the trail and gave us two maps. The highlight of our ride was coming across a moose with her... More
