Rapid Creek was so easy to make a reservation at and everything went so smoothly! They are right on main street which is walking distance from many popular places to stay if you're a tourist. We were able to walk .5 miles and pick up our bikes and pickup took about 5 minutes. We signed our waiver, they gave us locks, and we were on our way. They have the option of regular or electric bikes and we chose regular bikes for our 7 mile winery loop. The bikes had baskets on them for whatever you'd need to carry for the day (also great for boxes of wine ). Returning the bikes was just was easy as pickup - if not easier. We were told to have the bikes back before 10 the next morning. We were able to drop them off in back and lock them up if it wasn't open hours which gave us tons of freedom in our schedule. Definitely recommend renting bikes at Rapid Creek if you're visiting palisade! A few of our group went through the hassle of bringing theirs with and I was much happier with the easy rental. read more

We had a great day on the Palisade Plunge, thanks to our shuttle company! We met the store owner a bit before 8am. He showed us the map and described in detail the various sections of the trail. We had planned to ride all 32 miles, but after our briefing decided on the lower 20 instead, which the owner recommended. We knew he was giving us good advice, because the shuttle to the lower trailhead was actually longer and more costly for him. We are so glad we listened! The bottom 20 miles is the best part, and even for strong riders, is a long day. We had enough energy and water to ride the best sections of the Plunge. We also knew the owner and his staff cared about our well-being because they asked us to check in when we finished. Great day with a great company! Highly recommend! read more

We had a great experience! Staff was wonderful and helpful getting us set up and finding a great route for us to take! It was really hot the day we went so bring lots of water and go early! Winery's were stunning and very friendly as well. read more

Palisade Cycle & Shuttle - Bikes Near Me - Palisade, Colorado

Rapid Creek Cycles is a great place to rent a bike and check out the nearby wineries. The staff were super nice and helpful, and they provide a nice map of local wineries with great recommendations! They also have electric bike you can rent, but those have to be returned by 5PM unlike the regular bikes which you can keep until the next morning. So if you're wanting to hit a lot of wineries it'd be better to get the regular bikes so you can take your time. read more

We rented bikes to explore vineyards from here & it was an incredible experience! Dusty helped us & gave us really great recommendations for the day. At one point one of my bike petals came loose & someone from the company was there within 15 mins to fix it! We can't wait to rent again from here. read more

Rapid Creek Cycles is amazing! It was very easy to make reservations by phone and they answered all my questions. When we arrived the bikes were ready and a friend was able to add an additional bike to our reservation an hour before we arrived. During our wine tasting my pedal fell off and an employee drove all the way out to Maison La Belle Vie Winery to bring me a new bike. They also let us lock up the bikes after hours which was very convenient! Staff is amazing and experience was perfect! read more

I don't rent bikes often but when the website states e bike. Most people would think electric bike. Not the case. Their e bike is electric assist only while you are pedaling. read more

Easy, efficient and helpful. We rented two E-bikes for our winery tour day and so glad we upgraded from standard cruisers. The bikes were fun and just what we needed to help us tour the wineries. The staff was so efficient, would rent bikes here again! read more

Rented mountain bikes for a few days. The bikes were in excellent condition and well tuned. Austin was very helpful.

It was an amazing experience with my group of friends!!! The views are amazing and the staff is very friendly and polite!

Great place and great location! We were staying in Grand Junction and drove over for a little wine bike tour! We got there around 3 on a Saturday not realizing a lot of the wineries close at 5. The gentleman that helped us was so great! When he handed us the map he let us know which wineries had food and which were open later. He also told us we could come back the next morning for no charge to continue the tour since we were starting so late! So helpful and kind! Definitely worth the rent from this place! read more

This is a must do when traveling to Palisade. Rent a bike and tour the wineries around town. The staff working here are super friendly and extremely helpful. Jeff got us checked in, fitted with bikes and went over the best stops around town all within ten minutes. They have a great selection of bikes, from electric assist bikes to the 7 speed cruisers. They also rent out SUPs (paddle boards) and kayaks as well. These guys really know their stuff. read more

A group of us rented bikes from Rapid Creek this past weekend for our getaway - wine weekend. It was such a fun time and this place was a great help! Most of us opted to rent our bikes so we knew we wouldn't run into any issues with flat tires on our own bikes, and I'm happy we did. The basket on the back is great and was helpful for storing my bag and filling it with wine. One of our group brought his own bike, and he had to replace a tube and then keep pumping his tire the whole time. Next year I want to reserve ahead for an e-bike so that way I can make the whole day as near the end I was quite tired but it was totally worth it. We bike to over 6 wineries and about 10 miles. Cannot wait to be back and we will always use these guys from now on! read more

Go Here, Go Here, Go Here. My nephew and I has Sooooo much fun riding our bikes in Palisade. The owner opened early for us and it really made the difference of being able to have time to fit it in or not. We did a 12 mile ride all easily mapped out and if we had time would have done the 25 mile one for sure. You ride by farms, orchards, rivers, horses, wineries, fruit stands it was AWESOME... read more

Great staff! Super helpful, accommodating and friendly! Bikes were in great condition and it was a lot of fun!

I LOVE this place!!!! We have rented bikes here every year for the last 6 years. The bikes are great and the staff is the BEST! Super friendly, helpful and super knowledgeable about the area. We had an issue with one of the bikes (out of 6) and they immediately exchanged it, no questions asked. I 100% recommend this place. I will rent bikes from this shop every year for my annual trip. Best. Ever. read more

They truly care about their customers and giving you the best experience possible! read more

What an incredible experience! Rented four bikes for a birthday celebration and now I can't imagine doing Palisade any differently. Thanks for taking care of us quickly and thoroughly and for renting the nicest bikes! We had the best time. read more

Our group of 4 reserved spots on the shuttle for the Palisade Plunge with Rapid Creek Cycles in Palisade on Aug 27. Got there early and listened to the briefing by Rondo at the store. He laid out all the nuances, features, and risks with attempting to complete the Plunge. He gave great direction on water tips and possible bailout locations. Needless to say we wanted to conquer the entire ride from the start. The Plunge is not for everyone. It is a fantastic ride with exposure to the most varied terrain of any mountain bike trail. If you do go be prepared for anything and watch the weather. Anything above 85 for the day's high is too much. We all took about 6 liters of water (2 full Camelbak bladders) and a 32 ounce bottle with an electrolyte drink. We drank about 95% of what we brought. It took us 8 hours to fully complete. Be prepared! Because it was getting late, Rondo came looking for us to make sure we were safe. We had just gotten down and met him on the road. That is a true testament to his devotion to the customer and hoping everyone has a safe ride. The first 11.5 miles from Mesa Top to Shirttail is a very nice rolling trek through the medows on the Grand Mesa. After stopping for a R&R at Shirttail the rest of the ride is varied among trips through the aspen, then to Otto's Wall (I recommend walking down this. It's steep with sharp hairpins). After the wall it opens up but don't be fooled. There are very technical sections and you must be fully focused on your next move and pedal placement. We did walk a lot of the trail on some of the loose skree with steep dropoffs. Overall an epic ride, fantastic views, fun and challenging terrain. Not disappointed at all. It was everything we expected. read more

One of the best tune ups my bike has received. The staff there are friendly, honest and quick. Would highly recommend this shop for repairs and rentals over any other option in Palisades. Reasonable prices as well. read more

Really great experience! So fun to ride bikes around the Palisade wineries! Located in the middle of town so easy to pick up and return bikes! read more

Knocked on the door after the shop closed needing help with a rear wheel issue on a rig I rented in Grand Junction for a San Juan trip next day. Rapid Creek's owner was so helpful as we tried to diagnose and fix the issue. It ended up being the tire not seated on the (tubeless) rim's bead. read more

Rented bikes here to do the fruit and wine byway and it couldn't have been a smoother experience. The guy at the shop even gave us a rundown of the map with his personal suggestions before sending us off. I would have preferred that they rent bikes without metal baskets on the back (you have to step through the center to mount, and there is nothing to hold onto to hold the bike up when you stop.) But they do offer mountain bikes for those who would prefer that option. They didn't push us to rent or use helmets. Great experience! Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun way to see Palisade. read more

What a wonderful bike shop in Palisade! My boyfriend and I are in the market for Niners, and they are quite a sizable dealer.

Guys, electric bikes are awesome. You know what else is awesome? Rapid Creek Cycles and Sports and the amazing service we received on our recent honeymoon adventure in Palisade. We went in to rent regular ol' dumb bikes for a half a day but curiosity (and Colin's assurances) got the better of us. We ended up spending five hours scootin' around Palisade and filling our baskets with wine. It was romantic and fun and an experience we'll treasure forever. Thank you, Rapid Creek, for giving us these memories. xo! read more

Such a great investment! The electric bikes were so worth it we were able to enjoy a beautiful day and get in as much as Palisade had to offer. The staff was so friendly and left us at ease knowing that they would be available for anything. Highly Highly recommend this place. read more

Best place to get your bikes in Palisade!! The shop is right in the center of town, so an easy walk for most vacationers. Bikes were reasonable at $39/day, and we were able to pick them up the night before so we could get on the road early the next day. Easy to book - owner Rondo is fantastic to work with! In the shop at pickup, B was super friendly and helpful in getting us all properly fitted and ready to roll (don't forget your ID when you pick up - you need your ID and to sign a waiver!). They have free maps available with some choice local sites marked, and B had great insight on happenings around town. The bikes all worked well - we got simple cruiser styles, perfect for leisurely rides between wineries (and all equipped with a basket). They provided helmets and locks, as well. Drop off was a snap - just lock the bikes out front if the shop is closed for the day! Easy peasy! And since they weren't due until 10 the next morning, we could've squeezed in an early morning ride! Great bike shop!! We will definitely rent from them again, and highly recommend them to anyone visiting lovely Palisade! read more

Renting the electric bikes for a day to explore Palisade was one of the highlights of our trip! The staff at Rapid Creek Cycles and Sports were great. Some of the locks on the baskets to hold our wines and items didn't work, so just check those before accepting bikes. read more

The shuttle service Rapid Creek Cycles provides to the start of the Palisade Plunge mountain bike trail is excellent. Transport for your bike is on trailers with individual spots to hang bikes. Vans are clean and comfy. Drivers had water, sunscreen, etc... and gave a good description of what to expect from the trail. Offer two drop offs, a lower and higher depending on the length of ride you're looking for. Convenient locale and nearby parking lot to leave your vehicle for the day. Timely loading. Great guys! read more

Rondo and staff went above and beyond expectations. He communicated with me for months via email to assure my reservation even when he thought he would not be opened. Offered to lock the bikes up for me and my sister. Luckily they were open. We were guided with a map which he personally highlighted the trail and his favorite ones, which were the best. Also gave us his number(rescued, repairs) to call We got a 24 hour reservation. Was a low to lock the bikes up at our hotel and drive them back in the morning to enjoy our night in wine country and enjoy breakfast! read more
