Cars and other vehicles are not allowed on Mackinac Island, so you need to either walk everywhere, take a horse-drawn carriage or ride a bike. Mackinac Cycle made it extremely easy to rent four bikes on the day that we arrived on the island. We needed three adult bikes and one kid bike. I was concerned that they might not have a bike small enough for my youngest son, but they did! (He's around 4-foot something.) We all got our bikes and locks, and were sent on our way in about 10 minutes. It was so easy. They give you locks, but there are so many bikes on the island and I hardly saw anyone lock up a bike. It's a very casual island vibe in Mackinac. That said, you're responsible for the bike if anything happens to it, so I suggest using the lock that Mackinac Cycle provides. One bonus: You get a bottle of water with your bike! And the bikes we got had baskets, which was handy. The people who work at Mackinac Cycle are super friendly, and their little stand is open all day and night, pretty much, so if you have a problem or a question, you can just roll up and someone can help you. read more

We had a great experience with Mackinac Cycle. We rented 2 bikes and a dog trailer and the bikes were ready quickly with friendly service and set-up. We had enough gears to manage the hills over the center of the island and our dog seemed very comfortable in his carrier. It was a great experience and while not cheap- worth the money to get a nice tour of the island in a few hours. read more

Mackinac Cycle - Our 16 lb dog in his bike trailer - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Mackinac Island, Michigan

We decided to rent bikes last minute. They made it easy and it wasn't too expensive... we got a free bottle of water and had baskets on our bikes. The bikes themselves were very nice with comfortable seats. read more

There are many places to rent bikes, but per the advice of our kayak guide, he suggested to rent at the end of the main strip so we could just continue on to the loop road. We were looking at the sign and a young man made a very convincing sales pitch on why we should rent from them. We were glad we did because they had 15 speed bikes that came in very useful when we did the internal roads of the island. There was no way we could have navigated the hills with a 1 or 3 speed bike. Having a basket was also very useful for our water and stuff. They charge to the nearest 10 minutes when you return the bikes. So for two of us for 1 hr 50 mins it was $66.00 ($18/hr for each of us). I would say to just plan for 2 hours. The internal roads are indeed hillier, but very peaceful and away from the crowds (that weren't that bad at all). Return the bikes was easy-peasy. They had a lot of staff milling around to help. We would use this cycle group again, and highly recommend renting bikes to see the island. read more

from the moment we met the first person the time we returned in the bikes the process was streamlined and easy. They answered all our questions and provided us with water, basket, helmet, and bike. The quality of bikes were A1. highly recommend this company For service, quality, and price. read more

Great service and great bikes. The prices from one bike vendor to another is the same, so service is the value you're looking to find. The called and checked with us before the end of the day to make sure we were going to keep the bikes overnight - we did. Great location in the downtown area, and check in and check out was quick and easy. read more

Mackinac Cycle - Bike Repair/Maintenance Near Me - Mackinac Island, Michigan

Would give zero or even negative stars if I could. They weren't busy at all, there was someone outside trying to sell bike rentals, I asked him if I could borrow an Allen wrench for my child's own personal bike. He told me that they did not have any Allen wrenches that I could use. Then I walked past their window and saw a whole section of tools and a guy in there making adjustments to bike, I would've needed an Allen wrench for about 20 seconds, hard to believe and establishment could be this unfriendly. read more

This business clearly has signage saying bike shop and you can see repairs happening when you walk by on the street. We wandered up to it in search of a bike saddle and were rudely whisked to the front by an employee. When we indicated we were looking for a saddle, he said "not here, wrong place" and stormed off as quickly as he could. Not a bike shop, not any hint of customer service. read more

Great time on the Island. Riding bikes was a wonderful time. Bikes were in very good shape, clean, and staff was great. Very friendly

My family's favorite memory of our visit to Mackinac was riding the 8 mile perimeter of the island and Mackinac Cycle hooked us up with great bikes. Speedy and friendly service and well maintained bikes that made our cruise a blast! read more

My friends and I had HORRIBLE experience here. One of us got an adult tricycle. Right before we went down a pretty steep hill, we discovered that her brakes WEREN'T ATTACHED!! Thank god we realized this when we did. Not long after that her seat broke and fell backwards. We called them and they said they were going to send another one but it never came. Our quick ride to Arch Rock turned into a 3 hour endeavor. When we got back and explained to them what happened, an old man with a mustache (that I can only assume is the manager) was SO rude to us. He said that we were wrong and that "they couldn't find us" and "we must have made a mistake by walking" DO NOT go there, they don't deserve your service! read more

The people who work here have a great attitude about getting you a bike as soon as possible, while still maintaining a great connection with their customers. We had no issues with our bikes and we were ridding them strait for 2 hours. Highly recommend! read more

As soon as you get off the ferry, turn right and grab a cycle for your tour of the island. They're conveniently located near the ferry. The experts got us hooked up with the best bikes and some nice options for our kids. When we got back and paid, they gave us coupons for cooperating businesses across the street, and after a couple of hours biking, who wouldn't like some fudge? Beautiful island and a great way to tour it, thanks! read more

Their Bikes are not good. We rented two tandem bikes from them, and had a worst experience ever. The pedal used to slip and hit the foot of the person on rear seat. We rode about 3 miles and the chain popped off, we tried to fix it ourselves and it popped off again. After some time as chain was popping off and on... we realized it was broken. We called the rentals and they finally sent someone in 45mins. It spoiled our whole trip. We were four people and all of us had to wait. The guy fixed the bike and as we stepped again... chain popped off again. We called then again, it was so much trouble. Another guy came with a new bike in around 20 mins. With all this trouble, inconvenience and wasting our time, we were asked to pay for 2 hrs which we didn't use the bike for. Whole time went in fixing the bike and getting a new one. They even didn't consider the fact that their bike was broken, their argument was that we should not change the gear of the bike to let it work properly. It was ridiculous that why they are renting broken bikes and spoiling the trip of visitors. Finally we had to almost fight and show call records to prove we were not able to use their broken bikes. We finally paid for 1.5hrs each and settled it. It was the worst experience and make sure you take a test ride of bikes before you rent them. And dont try to fix the bike urself, because you will have to pay for that time. Worst experience with these people. read more
