We got four traditional bikes and rode the Coastal trail out n back. Other folks were going e-bikes which is cool and they rent both. They also provide helmets and cable locks which is a nice bonus. We were able to leave our luggage there as well. The bikes were great-no equipment issues and they made sure before we left that everything fit and we were comfortable. Also-they gave great advice with directions before we departed so all around great experience!

We got the e-bikes and the host had us try a few e-bikes with different height and different battery propulsion system. They also had a large selection of "hybrid" bikes which do not have an electric assist. We did not try those , but the customers returning the bikes at the end of their rentals seemed happy. They have a nice and warm indoor tryout/practice area to get comfortable with the bike before renting them out. They also have restrooms and water including water bottle for purchase and a water fountain. They were very patient with us and other customers while we were trying the bikes. They explained the bike trails (including the highlights, some tips form wildlife sighting and the parts to be careful in) and suggested us some of the routes that we can take. I would consider this rental location above others as this is larger, is located nearest to the start of the coastal trail and had a large selection of bikes.

Their energy was infectious, and you could tell they truly loved and appreciated Alaska and wanted to share it with you! The bike ride was about 4 miles round trip and took roughly 30 minutes. It was on a paved path along the road. As someone who does not bike often, I found it very manageable. My legs burned a little on the small incline, but no one in our group seemed to have trouble with it. If you are elderly or have knee problems, etc I would only recommend this to you if you are confident in your biking abilities. My grandmother could not do this bike with her knee problems so she didn't sign up but I'm sure other people her age could if they are in good shape. The views were incredible, with mountains and water visible throughout the entire ride. We saw eagles along the way. The hike itself was very easy and about 1.5 miles round trip. We saw lots of slugs, a lake, mountains, etc. (no bears! Yay!) Overall, I would recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a fun activity with beautiful scenery and knowledgeable guides.

Best Alaska Bike Tour (and More) Ever!…read more Just got back from a week long AlaskaBike Multi-sport Adventure Tour- daily biking, hiking, canoeing, kayaking. I didn't want to go to the tourist spots with thousands of other tourists, so I chose AlaskaBike because a) they are run completely by lifelong Alaskan natives (unlike most of the other companies); b) they take you to remote and exotic places with very few people. Frommer's Travel named them one of the ten bike bike tours in the world, and now I know why. Greg and Tracey were fantastic, and we got to see and do everything in just one week. If you need four star accomdations all week, chose someone else. But if you're cool with rustic little A Frames in the middle of nowhere, and out of the way restaraunts to die for, this one works. This will go as one of the best vacation week of our lives!

No impersonal, giant cruise ship experience here. Everyone is made to feel special on this trip. I took the multi-sport Alaska Adventure Tour. I cannot recommend it enough. The 7-day, 7-night package includes all meals, lodging, Cannondale Bicycle, glacier cruise, canoes, and sea kayaking at Shoup Glacier, as well as personalized attention and knowledge from your guide(s). We saw beaver, moose, swans, bear, owls, and eagles (not to mention the famous Valdez bunnies). Our guide was great. Very personable, funny, laid back, accommodating, and super helpful. He knew so much about the area. Alaskabike took care of everything. They supplied the bicycles and customized them if you brought your own gear (seats, pedals, etc.) They were really great, well-built bikes. We just delivered our luggage and it was placed on the van. We got on and rode to designated stops where Greg and the van were waiting with clothing changes, food, drinks and repairs. The stops were well planned and usually at incredibly scenic locations, or strategically placed to provide assistance or an opt out opportunity.. Greg described the type of ride before you started (i.e. how much downhill, flat, and uphill to expect). Most stops were 9 - 18 miles apart. You always had the option of riding in the van if you did not want to ride the bike. At lunch, he had a grand smorgasbord set up for us each day which included sandwich makings, chips,vegetables, fruit, homemade pasta salad, and homemade cookies (my personal favorite!). We also had containers of "Healthy" (nuts and granola bars) and "Good" snacks (candy bars). Between rides, we rode in the van while he told us stories about the area and stopped at scenic places or whenever we asked. The views are beyond description. Lakes everywhere. Rivers the color of their surroundings - light blue with glacial silt, or crystal clear. And the mountains! WOW! And so many glaciers. And wildlife. One day we saw 8 beaver, 2 moose, multiple swans, and 2 owls. Just amazing. We stayed at some really nice, local inns for several of the nights. All the owners knew the staff of Alaskabike well and it felt like visiting relatives. We definitely got special treatment. There was The Perch, with its cute, tiny cabins and homemade bread and desserts. The Tangle River Inn with Naidine (the only living person with a mountain named after them) and nightly karaoke. (I highly recommend the brownie with chocolate ice cream for dessert). The views from the window in the restaurant are breathtaking. Canoeing on the Tangle River was gorgeous, and we were the only people there. Awesome! Lots of beavers hard at work. The hike to Gulkana Glacier was fantastic. The suspension bridge was an adventure in and of itself. We had it all to ourselves We stood under it as well as on top of it, and saw evidence of bear and moose. The sea kayaking tour to Shoop Glacier was terrific. Once again, we had an awesome guide who was really supportive and knowledgeable. And again, we were the only group there. We saw lots of bald eagles and a bear. The Marine Highway was not working, but Greg supplied us with a custom trip back to Anchorage. We stopped for some hiking and at some great view points. He also gave us the option of riding part way even though it got us back to Anchorage late. He even drove us to a view point so we could see Mt. Denali - 150 miles away - since we had missed it in the rain a week earlier. Just another part of their great personalized service. If you are looking for a small, intimate way of seeing some of the less crowded parts of Alaska up close and personal, I would highly recommend this trip. I had only been riding a bike for a couple of weeks prior to this, and I was perfectly capable of doing all the rides. So, you do not have to be a hard core cyclist to enjoy this trip. If you are a more serious cyclist, you might want to look into the all bike tour.
