Here's a nifty website to use when planning a vacation. Rent a Bike Now is a directory of places to rent bikes around the country with a few out of the US too. You enter a state and then cities are listed to choose from. Next a list of rental places comes up with types, sizes and even brands of bicycles with corresponding rates. The actual address of the store doesn't come up until you've paid a deposit, but with a name and the price information, you could soon track them down. I've often wanted to get a bike to tool around a lakefront or park but been to lazy to wade through the Google swamp to find a local bike rental (or just had my connection hijacked, like right now). This looks like a perfect one stop spot to locate some temporary wheels.
Also in Sunset this month, Pedal Bike Tours out of Portland offers 9 different regularly scheduled tours of the area plus other one-time-only tours designed for special events. For instance, the Coffee Crawl goes to 3 different coffee roasts and lasts about 3 hours. They also offer a guided trip up the Columbia Gorge and a cruise through historic neighborhoods. Prices range from $50 to $100. Okay, who will step up and start a Long Beach bike tour?
