This is the closest bike rental spot to Stanley Park, and the process was super easy. After signing in with your email at the kiosk, just let the staff know which type of bike you want. We chose the e-bikes since we weren't looking for a workout on vacation, and it was definitely the right call. The staff will set you up with your bike and then off you go! The loop around the park is just under 7 miles and took us about 1.5 hours with plenty of photo stops along the way. When you're done, simply return the bike to a staff member and pay when you check out. The system is smooth and efficient. We had a great time and would absolutely rent from Spokes again!
Our family of four, all adults, were visiting Vancouver and I wanted to go around Stanley park on bikes. Spokes was super quick to get in and out. I do think they should give a little bit more instruction. Some people in our group didn't know how to change gears and I had to stop and instruct them. We had a fantastic time going around the park. It was one of the highlights of the trip for me.
Very easy to rent a bike. Conveniently located a block away from the sea wall. You can just walk your bike down and jump on. Staff was fast and friendly. They provided a map, helmet, and basket (free of charge). They have a few different types of bikes, so think about which one you will want beforehand. I wanted the most basic, one speed, foot brake bike but they ended up giving me one with a hand brake, which was surprising once I got riding but it worked out. $18 for a little over 2 hours. They have a Yelp check-in offer. I would come here again the next time I want to ride through the park!
Wanted to tour around Stanley park, but a 6+ mile walk wasn't in the cards. Saw Spokes online and walked in to rent a couple bikes. All the staff we interacted with were super friendly and helpful. Made recommendations, provided us with a map and got us set up outside on bikes and adjustments. We were able to add a basket and a cell phone holder as options, but didn't really need it. Total loop for us over just over 7 miles and took 45 minutes (not including stops). Bikes were decent, some seem to have a lot of usage, but worked well for us. Cruisers were more comfortable, but slower.
employees were so nice and in depth with info/ helping u adjust bike seat/feel comfortable. i got the original bike with no gears and i had no problem ($10.95 an hour i believe??) an hour gives u plenty of time to get a lap around the entire park + lake. my bike breaker well, smooth ride. BIKING AROUND VANCOUVER IS A MUST DO FOR TOURIST, would've bought more hours
Didn't need to book ahead, they have plenty of bikes. Well staffed, quick service. Without a reservation, it took us all of 5 minutes to get checked in and onto our bikes! Closest shop to Stanley park. You just cross the road at the cross walk and then you can hop right onto the seawall trail. Dropping off bikes was even faster! Would do again
Rumor has it Spokes is Vancouver's original bike rental shop established in 1938! These guys know their bikes and it's no wonder they are rated #1 in Vancouver. Conveniently located at the North West corner of West Georgia Street and Denman Street just a short stroll from the starting point of Stanley Park's bike trail. Once you arrive you will be directed to fill in your info on an Ipad or if you are a repeat customer you can head straight to the cashier. All rentals include a helmet, a bike lock, and a basket. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable to give you the best advice on which bike to choose to fit your needs. Once you made a choice a rental ticket will be provided and you simply hand the ticket to the awaiting staff outside who will help you set up you seat height, your helmet, and guide you on how to use the bike lock. After you've completed your bike ride for the day simply return to the location awaiting staff once again assist you in putting your bike away and you process your payment at the cashier counter. I chose a 7 speed cruiser and their rates are as follows at the time of this writing: - $11.43 + GST / minimum 1 hour and rounds to the nearest 15 minutes - $34.29 + GST for half a day (3 - 6 hours) = 3 free hours - $45.72 + GST for full day (7 hours or more) I rode around Stanley Park for 1 hour and 33 minutes and $18.00 all in was my bill. There are nearby shops with minimal cheaper rates, but when you factor in the service, selection and location Spokes stands out from the rest!
Spokes Bicycle Rentals exceeded my expectations and made our day at Stanley Park truly unforgettable! Because it was conveniently located just across the street from the park's entrance, finding the shop was a breeze. Upon entering, we were greeted by the staff, who helped us get set up. The rental process was smooth and efficient, with a simple sign-in on an iPad, and a reservation at the counter. They offered a wide range of bike options, with competitive pricing. You are charged a minimum of one hour and then prorated every 15 minutes. There's a half-day discount (Up to 6 hours of ride time for the price of 3), and complimentary locks, helmets, baskets. Definitely check out their website and use it to plan your rental time/itinerary! We easily spent 3 hours in Stanley Park, and then another 3 checking out the downtown area. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for 10% off your total!
Conveniently located on the corner and right across the street from Stanley Park's entrance. It was very easy to see and find from the number 19 bus going to Stanley Park. There are many bicycle rental shops nearby but my husband insisted on renting from Spokes because they had such good reviews. Their service was fast, friendly, and hassle free. As soon as we walked in, they had us sign in on an iPad. We were then helped at the counter. They were so efficient that I forgot to take a picture of their pricing and bike options. Anyways, there are many bike options to pick from. All the bike rentals come with free helmets and locks. They charge a minimum of 1 hour and then it's prorated every 15 minutes. We had our bikes out for 1 hour and 59 mins and so we paid $22 for 2 hours. Returning the bike was just as easy as renting the bike. In fact, there was an employee waiting for us as we crossed the street. We took our ticket in and paid. That was it. Tip: if you check in on Yelp you get 10% off your bill.
We found Spokes on Yelp and apparently they are quite popular! You get discount if you check in on Yelp. They are conveniently located right at a spot where you just ride shortly and get to Stanley park right away. Everyone was friendly and they had a variety of bikes for rentals. Definitely would come back to rent with them again if I was in the area again!
The people that work here are very nice, professional, and helpful. We rented two e-bikes and a trailer. They offered us helmets for everyone in our party. They hooked up the trailer and set us up to bike the Seawall which took about an hour and fifteen minutes. The kiddos had a wonderful time and we got to explore Stanley Park in a quick bike ride. Overall, I recommend getting the trailer if you have kiddos.

We decided to go biking around Stanley park and visited Spokes to rent our bikes. They had multiple options of bikes (e-bikes, fixed-gear, city bikes and tandem bikes) The staff were friendly and helpful, recommending bikes based on your comfort. Their prices are a bit higher than others around there, but I think the quality of their bikes make up for it. The experience of renting the bike was smooth as you only need to provide a credit card on file before you rent and are only charged after you return the bikes. This removes the hassle of calculating how long you would want to rent the bikes for. They also provide helmets so you don't need to bring anything with you. I'll be sure to stop by there again before summer ends for sure :) read more

Great service and prices! Staff was super friendly and my friends and I had a blast biking around Stanley park. They also offer free plastic hoodies that really helped keep us dry during the rain. I recommend the 7 speed since it helps protect the wheels. Highly recommend! read more

Quick and efficient rental process. All team members were friendly and hardworking. You can tell there's a flow they follow. I didn't think renting a bike could be this easy. We rented 2 standard and 1 tandem bike. Credit card needed. read more
I've had a couple of crappy experiences renting bikes so I was slightly dreading the afternoon bicycling through Stanley Park. However, Spokes makes it pretty easy. There's a 10% discount with Yelp check-in - yay! It's pretty straightforward to rent - you rent by the hour after choosing your bicycle type. They also provide you with a helmet - WEAR IT - safety first! Track your time wisely to make sure you aren't going only a couple minutes over the next hour. But you can take advantage of some of the specials over 3 hours. The bikes are in pretty good condition and are good quality. The rental shop is a couple of blocks from Stanley Park. Overall, a solid bicycle rental option for every need! read more

May 2022 vacation: During my trip planning - Spokes stood above the rest with the most professional, family friendly, and easiest booking/reserving process. Not to mention that it is located right across from the entrance of Stanley Park - it was a win-win for me and my family. I reserved and paid online, got confirmation via email instantly and before my trip came - I even got a reminder email and a reminder text the night before - talk about efficiency! We had a couple of last minute changes but the workers were soooo accommodating and worked with my family to the very last minute making sure we were taken care of and had the most appropriate bikes. I booked the whole day with Spokes and the pricing was very reasonable (around $230 for family of 5 hoomans and 1 doggo). Our ride over to Stanley Park was most enjoyable- the family enjoyed it so much that we went back for a second round last leg of our vacation. Truly recommend this business as a place to check out if you are ever in Vancouver. Momo approves! read more

Thank you Spokes for making our trip around Stanley Park a breeze. My boyfriend and I kept getting the recommendation to take a bike ride around Stanley Park. I found Spokes on an online article and luckily they were right by the Seawall. It was about $25-$30 each for 3-6 hours depending on the bike you chose. I got a 6 speed cruiser for $10.47 to start and my boyfriend got a 1 speed cruiser with $8.57 to start. The bikes came with helmets, baskets, and a lock, which made our travel really easy. They only required a $1 deposit for incidentals and you're good to go. We even parked them at the aquarium with no problem at all. I haven't been on a bike in about 10 years and was scared that it would be difficult to operate. The bike had hand breaks and rode very smooth so I didn't have to worry one bit. We biked about 7 miles and returned the bikes right in front of Spokes. I loved how convenient it was to rent and return the them. I recommend Spokes really to anyone who would like to take the must-do bike ride around Stanley Park's Seawall. There are a ton of other bike options and even a tandem if you're looking for something a little less intense. read more
We had an excellent time renting our bikes from spokes. The rental process is very easy, and we used our Yelp check in for a 10% discount. They are located just across the street from Stanley Park. They had co-riders for our six-year-old son to ride right behind my husband. Everything was very smooth and easy, and the employees were pleasant. Riding around Stanley Park was definitely a highlight of our trip. read more
