Flexible rental rates

We offer flexible rental rates to meet all of our renters’ schedules. Our most popular rental periods are Half-Day, All-Day and weekly rentals.

The Half-Day rental (up to four hours) is ideal for day-trippers or those who just want to explore a part of the island.

The All-Day period allows you to keep the bike until dusk on the same day you started your rental. All of our rental periods include an after hours return option so you can enjoy your time worry free.

Easily update your rental period

Our rate flexibility doesn’t end with our after-hours return option: we can accommodate various situations. Does one member of your party want to extend their bike rental? Or is your group just biked out and want to give their legs a rest? Just give us a call, and we can make this adjustment for you, or we can settle up when you ride back into the shop.

We offer delivery

Want to avoid downtown? We also offer delivery and pick up service for any of our conventional rentals for periods of 48 hours or more (DOES NOT INCLUDE E-BIKES, WHICH MUST BE PICKED UP IN STORE). In order to take advantage of this option, we must schedule delivery and pickups in advance, especially in the peak summer season.

Flat tires can happen, but don't worry! If you get a flat just give us a call at 508-228-1151 and we'll come fix your problem free of charge.

After hours returns

You can return your bikes before we open or after we've closed by wheeling them behind our building to our private parking lot. Just lock your bikes to our bike rack and put your keys through the mail slot in the back door and we'll take care of the rest.

Bike rentals for organizations and events

Young's is uniquely adept at handling large group rentals for situations like boy scout and girl scout troops or large organization events. If you are looking to rent bikes for 20 or more people, contact our team and we can help you get things organized so your group can focus less on logistics and more time exploring the island.
