Default Bicycle Rentals?

Hi, everyone,
We're down here for our 2-month "fact-finding" mission (mostly to convince the Mrs of how great it is here - I'm already hooked!), enjoying the weather Well, at least it IS 20 degrees warmer than upstate NY.

Anyway, does anyone know of anyplace I could rent a bicycle on a monthly basis?

Thanks, and as we say in Albany, "Think Spring", which hopefully will come next week.

Rich

Once we settle for keeps we
will have rentals but for now from what we have seen you can get a couple from a thrift shop for less than what rentals would be
we bought a couple for our monthly renters.
Bike shops might have used bikes too
check the classifieds as
well
make sure to get snow tires.

Greg Hanson, a Villages resident, rents multi-speed mountain bikes. You can contact him at ghanson441@aol.com. Good luck on your "fact finding" mission!

The Villages Cycle Shop used to rent bikes. This was a few years ago, so not sure if they still do, or if they are still in business. Might be worth checking into though.

Default bicycle rentals

Sorry, but I'm no longer renting bicycles.

I have four nice multi-speed mountain type bicycles that I will rent on a weekly or monthly basis at reasonable rates. You can contact me at
ghanson441@aol.com or 352-751-7257. Thanks & good luck.

Greg

Anyone have a 24" girl's bicycle, preferably multi-speed, that they would like to rent for a week, August 30-September 5? I'll be visiting The Villages with my granddaughter.

We and friend of ours just bought in TV. We are from the Albany area, and go back and forth. Any questions we can help with, send me a note.
