We were told we could rent bikes at the Cultural and Ecotourism Center in Piñones for $5 an hour, which sounded great until we got there. It wasn't the worst experience ever, but the bikes were rusty, some of the breaks didn't work, and the guy working there didn't seem to know much about the bikes or he just didn't care. Also, don't expect to use the bathroom.
Since I was traveling with a group of 9 people, they didn't have enough bikes for us anyway so we ended up splitting up. After doing a Google search for other bike rentals, all we could find was Hot Dog Cycling. Don't even bother! The phone number listed is disconnected and there's nothing at the listed address. However, it did lead us to the Best Tour Connection, which is just down the street. Sorry I didn't get an exact address, but it's on Ave Isla Verde between the ESJ hotel and the The Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
The owner was very friendly and gave great directions on the bike path (a combo of paved trails, boardwalk style, and beach). They had nice beach cruisers, he checked the tire pressure, and provided us with locks. We used the nice clean bathroom facility before heading out. He was also pretty flexible on time, and said he would be there until 6:30 p.m.
We biked for about 3.5 hours from Isla Verde to Piñones stopping at some food stands for fried bacalao and coconut juice, and enjoying the view on the beach. It was a really fun experience, and I would definitely recommend it.
