There's no better way to explore Martha's Vineyard than on a bike -- the eastern side of the island, between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown, is easy to easier to navigate on two wheels than on four, and you don't have to worry about finding a parking spot. Anderson's Rental, located just a short walk from the Oak Bluffs ferry terminal, is the PERFECT place to get your gear for a fantastic day biking the Vineyard. They have bikes for every age and experience level, as well as helmets, bike locks and maps of the island trails. Customer service is outstanding, the prices very reasonable, and the inventory fairly extensive. We showed up without reservations on a weekday in June and had no trouble finding bikes for our family of 4. A wonderful experience from start to finish! read more

First time ever in MV. Kevin was our person who helped us. His attitude was nothing but positive, and he gave us such great recommendations! I can see why this place is rated so dang high compared to the other bike rental places. I cannot wait to recommend this place to all of my other friends who will be visiting Martha's Vineyard. read more

we arrived on the island today and I was having a minor mechanical problem with my bike. Gretchen was so kind and considerate and fixed it literally within seconds. I greatly appreciated her help to get me on my way. If I were to rent a bike, it would definitely be from them! Super helpful and knowledgeable. read more

On the ferry to Martha's vineyard a couple recommended Anderson's for a day bike rental and I'm so happy they did! It's $25 for an all day bike rental (must return by 6pm). Told them what route we were going and how we preferred a more conformable ride and they recommended different bikes based on this - they also provided helmets, a map of the island, a bike lock, bike basket and bungee cords which were all included in the $25 fee. they were great at providing recommendations and tips on how to navigate the areas we were biking to. Overall a very friendly staff, great service and a great deal! read more

Anderson's Bike Rental - Bike Rentals Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

Great bikes and super nice folks! We have never rented bikes on the Vineyard before and will definitely do it again with Anderson's. From start to finish they were great communicators, friendly, and helpful. Their rates are very fair and the bikes we got were in top shape. They also delivered and picked up on time as promised. My son took a little spill causing him to break off a small reflector on the bike and when I texted these guys about it telling them they should just charge me for it--they told me not to worry, they had plenty of replacements and glad my son was okay. Such great service! read more

Great place on the Vineyard! Much better prices and bikes than offered at other places. We loved that they offered a 24-hour option so we didn't have to pay for two days. Staff was also very friendly. We will be back here next summer!!! read more

My girlfriend and I rented a bike each for the day. 50 dollars for 2 bikes 2 locks and 2 helmets. The man helping us was very friendly and gave lots of options of things to do. Ultimately my girlfriend had overestimated her riding ability and didn't feel comfortable riding to any of the other towns. We went back and the staff were exceedingly understanding and kind about the situation. They gave us a full refund and even gave us options for other things to do for the day. I would 100% come here again. This is a family operation that deserves everyone's business! read more

We found the entire experience, from the moment we were walking up the driveway to returning the bikes, to be such a great experience. The young man that helped us was super nice, knowledgeable and very helpful. The prices were excellent. The bikes were in terrific shape. There was no fuss feel from beginning to end. Just an all around classic family business. Highly recommend. read more

Anderson's Bike Rental - Riding the bike path from OB to Edgartown - Bike Rentals Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

My family and I were on Martha's Vineyard for vacation, and I was determined to rent a bike, as I had already read it was fun to get around on the vineyard ,right here on yelp. I already had Anderson's Bike Rental saved here in my bookmarks . This location is in the Town of Oak Bluffs , which is just one of the towns on the vineyard . To me , this is the most artsy part of the vineyard . So, we walk to the shop , and it's so cute! Like everything on the vineyard, it's very cute and quaint , and had several bikes out front. It looks like a house. We walk up and speak to a lady named Cathy. Cathy took the time to really explain the use of the bikes, as well as gave us a map to follow the bike trail, which was extremely helpful. Very one on one attention , and very detailed . You will get your bike, a lock for the bike, and a basket attached to the bike , which was very necessary . We chose not to get a helmut. We decided on two bikes , and Cathy recommended that we bike 6 miles from Oak Bluffs to Edgartown ,which is another town on the vineyard , since we were already wanting to tour there anyway . I was thinking OMG what ? LOL! I seriously hadn't been on a bike in like over 20 years, so I knew this was about to be the most hilarious thing LOL, but they say you never forget right ? So, we get the bikes, and I go for it . After 5 minutes of being a bit uncomfortable , I'm 10 years old again on this fabulous bike! We decided to go ahead and bike the 6 miles . OMG, the scenery of the beach was just breath taking on our ride . Keep in mind, I normally wouldn't bike near regular car traffic, but it's very normal to ride your bike around town here , and there are plenty of bike trails all the way through . You don't even think about how tired you are , because it's so beautiful! We actually made it to Edgartown and got to see Lighthouse Beach , which was beautiful! Now, I know 6 miles is not a lot for some on a bike, but i think I did pretty well after not being on a bike for years LOL. Great workout, great scenery . I thank Cathy for her great information and kindness, she was very fun to talk to , great sense of humor! One thing to note , if you can't bike back to Oak Bluffs, the bus system on the vineyard will happily let you take your bike on the bus . It will be hooked on the front of the bus . Just be sure to be the first in line when waiting for the bus because the buses load up fast, and some of the buses only hold 2 or 3 bikes at a time , and a lot of people ride bikes . You have to use your strength and prop your bike on the front of the bus . The buses come like every 20 minutes or so if you miss one. Bike rental was $20 for the day, up until 6pm . All in all, great experience and I can't wait until my next visit! read more

Anderson's has reliable gear, good selection and reasonable prices ($18/day). If you go to MV on a daytrip, don't bother lugging your wheels. These folks will set you up without fail and give you quality advice as well. These are locals that want mainlander's to really enjoy their island. I like arriving on MV as a passenger only because finding alternative transportation is super convenient. Anderson's is the first stop off of the Quonset-OB ferry, a mere block away. If your bum gets tired and you need a lift, a $7 day ticket to ride the bus anywhere on the island is worth it. Hitch you bike to the front and ride it to the local gelato station to refresh. Island life at it's best. read more

We are giving these Boys 4 stars simply for their integrity. They did not lend a lot of help when we picked out our bike on the lawn and paid for the rental except to let us know that we better hurry before the next ferry boat comes in and all the bikes are gone. The seat adjustment was cursory. But when we went around the block one time and could not control the heavy, shaky, rattling, 2-seater, and returned in dismay, they immediately refunded our rental fee and wished us a good day. That is Martha's Vineyard integrity the way Martha would be proud! read more

This place easily deserves a rating of 5. They're super conveniently located just steps off of where the ferry lands, the service is outstanding, and the price is a steal. I think we paid about $30 for two bikes for a whole day, including baskets and bike locks. We actually didn't have a reservation, but even as walk-ups, they offered us a great selection of cruiser/comfort bikes and more sporty bikes. They did a great job of making sure the bikes were adjusted for both of us for maximum comfort, and they made sure we had all the maps and info we needed to cruise around the island. The bikes were in great shape and you could tell they were well maintained. Employees were friendly, genuinely happy and nice people - so rare!! I would absolutely recommend this company! read more

6 bikes with helmets and locks for $105. The more bike rentals the cheaper the price. Fun and great service. 6PM return time. No issues with any of the bikes. Only girl bikes come with baskets. Short seats available for those vertically challenged! If you have any issues, lost lock key, bum bike, you can call them and they'll get to you for free and fix the problem at no extra charge. read more

The lady from Anderson's was such a sweet heart. We had issues with this whole bike rental thingy and a misunderstanding with Queen Island and she suggested at they ask for a refund.. you can go read my review on Queen Island. Anyways, when you get to the island, take a right and keep walking and they're the first bike shop on the left hand side. We were helped right away and a variety of bikes were shown. She even went to the extent of giving us recommendations and finding Sister and I identical bikes. I really wanted a bike with a basket so I can take my camera out and take pictures. The one that I picked didn't have a basket so the lady ziptied one to the back. We ended up talking about my ring and having small talks but I would definitely recommend them to all. It means a lot when someone ask about your day and makes you feel like a person rather than just taking your money. I hardly give out 5 stars because it has to be a superb experience but Anderson's Bike did it! I wished I remember her name but she did an awesome job taking care of it! It's that Customer Service that makes the entire sooo much better and thank you for helping us. Back to the bikes - I rode around and saw that they were absolutely the cheapest compared to all others around that area. It was $22/bike for an entire day while many others were per hours. Being that we were there for literally half the day, $22/bike wasn't bad, where as $8/hour would have cost us so much more! I wished I had more time to explore, it was such a beautiful island! read more

This is a very convenient bike rental, it is just a couple minutes walk just off getting off the Island Queen. The price for the rental is $20 for the day!! With prices like that you can't go wrong. When we got there we had about 4-5 hours before the last ferry back to the cape. The workers were very informative about the amount of time we had on the island and gave us a recommended route to take to enjoy the most out of our time on the vineyard. The bikes were light and very comfortable with 6 speeds to help tackle those hills on the vineyard. Locks and helms are provided. read more

Anderson's Bike Rental - Bike Rentals Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

Anderson's Bike Rental - Bike rental shop - Bike Rentals Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

We had a great experience today with Anderson's. First they were affordable, helpful, and provided free helmets, baskets, and locks. They took the time to help everyone find the best fit and even replaced seats for us. After one member in our party couldn't make the return trip, they came and picked up all the bikes without hesitation. Excellent customer experience- thank you Anderson's! read more

I rented 4 bikes from Anderson's for Labor Day. This is the first time I've ever gotten my bikes delivered which was very convenient. The bikes worked well and what didn't work was addressed immediately by management. Everything can't be perfect, but when it's not, I'd at least like a prompt and reasonable response from management. Satisfied. read more

Great customer service and bike options. Easy rental and right off the ferry dock. Would highly recommend.

A quick rundown of what you need to know about Anderson's: * Conveniently located right near the docks in Oak Bluffs (great way to start an island excursion). * $18 for a bike, lock, and helmet for the day (cheaper if you rent for multiple days/multiple bikes at a time). * Maps and advice given readily by friendly, knowledgeable staff (hey, super-cute tall guy who hooked me up with my ride: call me, maybe?). * Credit cards accepted (even encouraged; if paying cash, there's an upfront deposit). * Open till 6:00 (but bikes can be returned later without penalty if you need, or they'll come pick them up). In short: Yes, yes, and yes to Anderson's (and seriously, tall guy: call me). read more

Anderson's really exceeded all of my expectations. We made a last-minute decision to try to bike for a day on MV. They delivered the bikes to where we were on the island (we were staying somewhere between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown), set us up (lock and helmets included) and worked with us to figure out a return time (we were running late). They remembered us by name and were super-nice and very professional. Can't really ask for more than that from a bike rental place. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow figured out how to offer even better customer service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a rental, and if I ever return to MV I would not hesitate to rent from them again. read more

We rented two road bikes from Anderson's and we're pleased with: - They weren't officially open at 8:50 yet happily set us up with our bikes. - Understanding that we wanted to Aquinnah and back they pulled out two nice higher-end Fuji hybrids. - Nice maps and directions were provided. - Bikes worked so well that not only did we do our ride to the west end of the island, we rode to Edgartown and the East Chop Lighthouse as well. Almost 60 miles of riding. The only (very minor) negative: - My wife 's bike could have used a little tuning on the front derailleur; it dropped the chain twice. She just shifted more carefully once we figured this out. Make sure to run through the gears in town if heading out on a long ride! I still give 5 stars due to the great and friendly service and high quality of the equipment. read more

What a gem! Next time we are on the island, we will definitely use them again. The lady helped fit us with two bikes and a 'ride-along' for our three year old. We biked down the Edgartown, had some ice cream and biked back. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! read more

Don't be fooled!! This place is as much a bike shop as your mother was just your ride into this world. Anderson's Bike Rental is your welcoming crew and life-blood to Oak Bluffs. I felt connected to the island my entire stay because I always had an Anderson at my back. Family owned and operated for ~40 years, from the moment we rolled up we felt like we just arrived at our own family reunion. Our bikes and trailer were ready to roll immediately, but we weren't as we stayed and chatted about best roads & routes and where to get the best beer & steaks (Bob the butcher, of course). In fact, they took our bags and gave them a lift to our rental house so that we could better enjoy the ride there. What's that you say, a couple of your friends had their ferry was diverted to Vineyard Haven? No problem. we'll deliver them their bikes as well. But it didn't end there. Tired and hung over on Sunday, they gave all our stuff a lift back to there shop and held it for us until we were ready to roll our sorry butts back for departure. And of course they gave us several nearby recommendations for a proper meal before we finally departed. Tips were appropriate as Anderson's not only supplied us our rides, but they tripled as our island guide, anchor and life-preserver all in one. Can't wait to come home, I mean, back to MV again!! read more

The staff was super friendly and helpful. Had enough bikes for our group of 4 mid-day. Would be nice if bikes had bottle cages and bells. Walking distance to the ferry. Recommend to others. read more

Really friendly and accommodating staff. They even provided a refund when two people in our group had to unexpectedly return their bikes within an hour of renting. read more

I came here after surveying the posted rates for about five or six bike rental places on the island. I dropped in late in the day (and just after the official summer season) and had the place to myself. The place is cute and seems small, but they have a lot of bikes. I was helped by an impressively friendly and knowledgable staff, that helped me find a bike with a good fit for me. Since it was so quiet while I was there I ended up talking with all three people working, and they were all very laid back and chatty. The bike was nothing special, but was well maintained, and everything was fully functional. They also provided a map, and some good pointers about rides that would fit the bill for what I was looking for. Since I was renting for a week, they even put my clipless pedals on without any fuss, and at no charge. read more

Such knowledgeable, warm, fantastic service. We purchased a fantastic used bike for my son. He's in heaven. When we got home we discovered that his old helmet didn't fit properly. So, we went back and got a great lesson on how to fit a helmet. My youngest got one too. Now, my dare devil bike rider is wearing his helmet without resistance. Happy, safe boy & happy mom. Thank you Gretchen, Kathy, and Andrew! read more

:THE BEST BIKE RENTAL PLACE IN MV! Hands down! I literally just got off and returned my bike from them (and was 25 minutes late) but no complaints, ni charges. They are that nice! I got my bike this morning and they were so kind to help me with the routes and even gave me a map and marked the spots I wanted to see to help me out. Usually, service is second when it comes to rental stuff since it's the product's quality we're up for but here service is at par with the quality of the product. read more

Excellent service from the start. We picked up later on a Saturday towards close and they only charged us 2 days if we returned early on Monday. It is also Labor Day weekend and busy and that did not affect how nice they were about that. As soon as we took off I realized there was no way I was comfortable riding on the streets so we ended up returning them about 15 minutes later. They voided the charge and the owner was nice enough to then make walking suggestions for the rest of our trip. She said she only wanted us to be happy! Thank you!!! read more

What an awesome business!! The staff helping us out when we arrived were so helpful and nice. An hour into our bike trip we had a minor accident that rendered one of our bikes unusable. We called the main number and within 20 minutes they met us near Edgartown with a replacement bike. I was so impressed. Will definitely use these guys again. thanks for helping us make great memories !! read more

Great service! The lady who rented my is our bikes was one of the most generous people ever. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a bike rental in Oaks Bluff. read more

So easy to get to. Right off the ferry. Plenty of bikes to choose from. Friendly staff. Competitive pricing.

Am not usually a 5 star babe----Anderson deserves it! Incredible value, cheaper than most other bike rental places in Oaks Bluff and Vineyard Haven. We paid $30 per day for 2 bikes. If you rent for more days, you pay only $10 per day. We got brand new bikes, there are many different bike choices to choose from and styles available. BEST OF ALL, they will drop off and pick up your bikes for you---and all with a smile. No wonder they've been in business for a gazillion years. read more

Renting a bike at Anderson's could not be easier or more convenient. Located less than a block from the ferry, Anderson's has a lot of modern bikes for rent. And for a mere $35 for two (including helmets and lock), I was very pleased with the price. The staff was very friendly and was helpful with directions. I would not rent anywhere else the next time I visit. read more
