2222.0. "Rentals in MA/CA ?" by 52925::MCGRATH () Mon Mar 30 1992 03:24

    I'm off to the US on vacation for most of the month of May. The plan is
    to stay in Mass (Lexington) for the first week in May, second and third
    weeks in California (San Jose) and then last week back in Mass.
    
    Travelling with me will be my 5 month old son so even though the
    thought of not cycling for a month is bad, the thought of having to
    bring my own bike is even more depressing (I never know a small baby
    needed so much luggage !!!).
    
    Could anyone help me with information on rentals in either/both area ?
    Would normal bike shops (eg. Cycle Loft in Burlington...I bought a bike
    off them about a year ago) rent good quality road bikes ? (I suppose
    Look pedals is asking a bit much... but I could bring my own).
    
    Thanks,
    
    John

	Does Lincoln Guide Service rent cycles? -john

	Yes, the Lincoln Guide Service rents cycles. It's also in an ideal location for rides. If you think you'll only ride occasionally (on weekends), then renting there might be the way to go. I don't know what their monthly rate would be. MATT

	John, I live in Lexington. I assume that you are looking for a road bike... What size do you need? I may have a bike that I can let you borrow (Look pedals and all). Let me know or call me: DTN 227-3969. Eric PS, ...but don't set your hopes up on the Merlin - I don't think that you have been checked out on the Ergos yet ;-)
2222.5	What about the west coast ?	52925::MCGRATH		`Fri Apr 03 1992 02:56`	11
	Folks, Thanks to Matt and Eric I'm fixed up with a bike for the eastern legs of my US tour. Thanks guys..... Does someone know how I could go about finding some information on rentals in the west ? With California being the home of the mountain bike I'd default to renting a mountain bike if necessary (although I'd prefer a road bike). John
