What our awesome customers say about our Ottawa tours and bike rentals

Rent a bike from our full rental fleet that can accommodate all rider sizes and bike preferences, including lightweight performance and comfort bikes, mountain, gravel, tandem, kids’ bikes, pedal-assist e-bikes, cargo e-bikes, and electric scooters. Every rental comes ready to ride: helmet, lock, and access to self-guided maps included at no extra charge, so you can head straight to the canal paths and scenic waterfront trails the moment you pick up your bike. All bikes are professionally inspected and meticulously cleaned before every rental, and our team will fit you on the right-sized bike before you roll out. Hourly, daily, or monthly or longer — flexible options for every kind of adventure. Ottawa’s best bike paths are waiting.
