She seemed like she was uncomfy with me asking questions about what type of bike to get and didn't have any good insights in to the coastal trail. The guy I worked with (Pablo's nephew) was great! He was knowledgeable about the trail, what to look out for, where to stop, and rescued me when my bike stopped working properly. He is the only reason I am not giving a lower rating! I rented a standard bike. I made it 0.3 miles from the shop when the chain completely broke. They brought me a new bike that was the same style. Both bikes looked beat up and clearly used hard. The second bike never quite shifted right, by the time I was half way back it wouldn't shift at all causing me to call and have a third bike brought to me. When that bike arrived I just wanted to be done, I was over it and thankfully Pablo's Nephew (I really wish I knew his name) took me back. He was very friendly and discounted me for the trouble. The e-bikes looked to be in better condition! So maybe try those!:)

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.

I have always been interested in fat tire biking, but the bikes are too expensive to just buy on a…read morewhim. So I was excited when my friend organized a fat tire bike tour in Anchorage and one of the other participants recommended renting a bike from Arctic Cycles. Billy and Erica are both warm and friendly. They run the rentals out of their home, so you need to make an appointment before showing up. Billy has over 15 years of snow biking experience and runs support for the Iditasport event. He was full of useful information and told me a lot about the bikes. The bike I got was in excellent working condition. You can tell that Billy and Erica take really good care of their inventory. They made sure that I had a female seat, which I didn't realize was so important, but it helps maintain balance. They supplied the hand-warmers that go over the handlebars and a tool kit along with the bike. Erica was nice enough to loan me some glove liners to wear under the handle bar mittens. They don't provide helmets, so you will have to bring your own. The total rental was $55 for the day. I had such a fun time riding with my friends in Campbell Creek that it was totally worth it. I definitely recommend renting a bike from Arctic Cycles if you are interested in getting into this sport!
