Bike Rental in South Lake Tahoe: KHS & Mountain Bikes

Park and ride straight onto Lake Tahoe's shoreline trails

Rent a KHS hybrid or full-suspension mountain bike in South Lake Tahoe with helmet included, then ride paved paths, single tracks, and gravel trails that start a quarter mile from the shop. Choose your own route and difficulty level, beginner to advanced, or book a guided intro to mountain biking tour with a live English-speaking guide. Bikes are tuned after every rental for reliability.

The experience

The shop sits close enough to Lake Tahoe's shoreline that you can park and ride straight onto the trails, or load your bike and head somewhere else entirely. A quarter mile of main road gets you past the immediate area, then the single tracks, paved paths, and gravel routes open up. The rental fleet includes KHS hybrids (solid on dirt or pavement) and full-suspension mountain bikes, both maintained and tuned to spec after every ride. Helmets come with every rental.

You pick the trails that match your skill level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), and the shop provides maps showing what's accessible from the area. Some of the best views are close by. The routes extend all the way to South Lake Tahoe and beyond if you want a longer day. Rentals run from a couple of hours up to a full day or 24-hour option, depending on how far you want to go. If you've never ridden mountain bikes before, the intro tour pairs you with a live guide who teaches you the basics and takes you out on the trails.

I've never mountain biked before, is there a way to learn?

How long can I rent a bike for?

Rentals range from a couple of hours up to a full day or 24-hour option, so you can choose based on how far you want to ride and how much time you have.

What trails are nearby, and how do I know which ones to ride?

The shop provides maps showing the general trail network in the area. Trails range from beginner to advanced, and they run along the Lake Tahoe shoreline and extend all the way to South Lake Tahoe and beyond.
