Our rental bikes are the best on island

Young's 8 hybrid bike in grey

Adult cruiser bikes

Our most popular rental bike by far, our cruiser bikes are super comfy and versatile hybrids that are great for riding all over the island. These bikes accommodate riders from 4'11" to 6'3" and come with 8 gears, a bell, a rear rack for your beach towel and other gear, and suspension for any cobble stones and bumps you may find. Add a free basket for additional storage!

Cannondale Catalyst mountain bike

Adult mountain bikes

If you want to get off the beaten path and explore Nantucket's many dirt roads and narrow sandy trails, our mountain bikes are a great choice. With sizes that fit folks 5'0" to 6'2" and up, everyone from younger adventurers to fully grown up kids can enjoy some off pavement terrain. These bikes come with a shock absorbing suspension fork, a bell, and a luggage rack for gear.

Cannondale Adventure Neo Electric Bike

Electric bikes

We also rent a limited quantity of electric, pedal-assist bikes so you can see more of Nantucket with less effort. Perfect for riders who would appreciate a little help pedaling or those who want to ride as many miles as possible, these e-bikes are a blast. The step through frame is easy to hop on and off so stopping to take pictures and smell the hydrangeas is a breeze.

24" kids bike with gears for 8-12 year olds

Kid's bikes

Perfect for kiddos who want to pedal themselves, we have a complete range of kids sizes for all ages whether they're just learning or they have a need for speed.

Bikes with child seats

We rent adult bikes equipped with child seat attachments for children at least a year old and under 40 pounds. It's a simple way to bring kids who are too young to pedal along for the ride.

Burly cub trailer for pulling kids or gear behind an adult bike

Child towing attachments

We also rent trailers and trail-a-bikes if you're looking for additional ways to bring kids along. We always recommend the two wheeled Burley trailer as it's super stable and it's comfy enough that kids often come back fast asleep!

Things
To Do In
Nantucket!

No visit to Nantucket is complete without a stop at its iconic lighthouses and a bike ride through its charming cobblestone streets. And then there are the island's many beaches like Jetties (great for families) and Surfside (great for watersports). When you're not soaking up the rays on the shoreline, get a history lesson at the Whaling Museum. And while you're inland, don't forget to explore hidden gems like Cisco Brewers for a pleasant, sand-free afternoon. Read our Things To Do In Nantucket guide to learn more.

Brant Point Light House

Nantucket's iconic Brant Point Light is said to be the country's second oldest lighthouse by some aficionados. While this superlative isn't completely true — the current tower dates back to 1901, but the station has hosted a lighthouse since 1746 — the attraction remains a popular spot to view Nantucket Town's harbor.

Go to the Beach!

There are so many beaches on this little island, making it difficult to pick just one for your perfect summer day. College kids head to Nobadeer, families with young ones prefer Children's Beach, and that's just the beginning. There's a patch of sand for every mood, style, and situation.

Great Point Lighthouse Nantucket

Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge

Located at the northern point of Nantucket, the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge provides a protected habitat for hundreds of osprey and other rare sea birds. Other activities include surf-fishing, hiking and checking out the Great Point Lighthouse, but according to recent visitors, off-roading along the 16 miles of trails is probably the most popular activity on the refuge.

Eat & Drink Like a Local

Almost every country, or even city, is known for a particular drink or spirit, whether its sake in Japan, whisky in Scotland or Cisco Brewery in Nantucket.

RECOMMENDED:
  • Cisco Brewery
  • Òran Mór
  • Pip and Anchor
  • Ventuno
  • Stubbies
