I was not sure at first what to do since I was not sure how long I was going to be renting the bike for. They explained that you do not need to know how long you want to rent for it is all about when you come back. They asked additional questions like what routes did we plan on biking on the island. They can give you a different bike based on it you want to bike the hills in the center of the island or if you are going to just be biking around town or around the island. They also added on a basket complimentary! They have a tire pump if your tires get low and if anything goes wrong with your bike while you are renting from them you can give them a call and they will come to you. I definitely would recommend coming over here to rent a bike if it is close to where you are staying.

The worker was friendly but his computer crashed and he was unable to rent bikes because of it. He said it happens at least once a day, which is not great for business when bike shops are pretty plentiful. He asked what bikes we wanted and he set them aside. He asked for us to wait until his computer started up again. We sat out front and waited and within 15 or so minutes we were back in business. We got 7 speed bikes and a card is needed on file before you take your bikes out. Baskets for your bikes are provided. Our bikes were in decent condition. My bike gears were worn out, so you couldn't tell your settings. Not horrible since we were just biking around the island. The coupon helped our total for the price of two bikes that we had taken out all day.

If you want to get around, you'll either have to ride a carriage, walk, or rent a bike. There's an amazing trail that circles around the exterior of the island that boasts great views of Lake Michigan. Our favorite activity is always renting bikes and spending the day stopping at sites along that path and stopping for lunch. This bike team is always crowded, but they're always hustling and moving quickly. They adjust the seat for you and set you on your way. Enjoy!

We rented from Ryba's Bicycle Rentals. Rental rate seemed fair, but we did not shop around so they may have been the most expensive for all I know. A total of 12 of us rented bikes from them. All the bikes rode well. Everybody had a great time biking around Mackinac Island. Safe to say that we all recommend using Ryba's Bicycle Rentals when you do not want to walk around the island. Have fun and be safe!

It's just off of Main Street north of Great Turtle. The owner greeted me right away and got me set up with an Island Comfort Special multi-speed cruiser. They swipe your credit card but do not charge you until you return the bike. My bike was $19/hr, and it's pro-rated after the first hour. They provide a bike lock, bottle of water, and bike map and make sure the bike is the proper fit for you before you take off. They did not offer me a helmet, but it looks like they are available upon request. As the name suggests, they also have mobility scooters which is an excellent way for people to see the island if mobility is a challenge. In all my visits to Mackinac Island, I had never biked the island. What a beautiful way to explore! There is SO much more to this place than the busy Main Street. I thoroughly enjoyed my ride on the Trek bicycle. It was easy to ride, but I did notice it was heavy enough that the kickstand didn't keep it upright very well the times I did stop to soak in the views. At the end, they gave me coupons to some great local businesses, Great Turtle and Sanders. If you visit in the fall, I'm told the bikes are on sale, if you'd like to take one home with you. Will definitely be using this service again!

From the first contact with Sue to arrange our tour to a perfect paddle with Tim on Lake Huron…read moreseeing the absolute best of Les Cheneaux Islands, to Tim's recommendation for a post-paddle hike, we had the perfect U.P. day! We were looking for an adventure with our new-ish kayaks. We fortuitously read a Michigan tourism magazine tucked into the Chicago Tribune; the magazine featured a story about kayaking in Les Cheneaux with Woods & Waters. It sounded great! Though we are comfortable on the water, we thought it would be good to have a guide in an area new to us -- and Tim was a perfect guide for our half-day paddle! We learned so much about this beautiful and interesting area, saw an eagle and its nest, did a quick mid-paddle hike to get an amazing view to go with our rock skipping and gained a few kayaking skill tips that will make us better kayakers. It certainly was a bonus that the water and weather cooperated -- water like glass and just enough sun. Tim - thanks for the advice to do the Narnia hike - that was our afternoon adventure! We ended our day at Les Cheneaux Distillers. The day couldn't have been better. We loved our paddle so much and felt comfortable with our newfound knowledge from Tim that we went back for a quick paddle the next morning. We wish we could have stayed on the water all day! Thank you Sue and Tim. We will see you next time!
