Gents and Ladies,

I've got a pending trip to Denver June 8-14 and want to rent a road bike while I'm there. I currently ride a 2004 Trek 5900 and would therefore prefer a Trek to maintain the similar geometry. We'll be staying in the Westminster area and I would appreciate any recommendations for a shop to rent from or local routes to try.

Unfortunately, shipping my bike there is not an option due to dysfunctional family thinking.

Thanks in advance!
Greg

I would suggest Wheat Ridge Cyclery. Great guys and they support the local biking community. They're one of the largest bike shops around (they do carry Trek) so they should have a good selection for rentals. Their website is http://www.ridewrc.com

Thanks for the tip, but they wrote me back and don't really 'rent'. They do have a trial program where I can take out a bike for 24 hours for a demo at $100/day, but that's a little richer than I was hoping for.

Any other suggestions?

University Bikes in Boulder rents mountain and cruiser bikes. http://ubikes.com/site/intro.cfm

Yikes! Sorry I don't have any other suggestions. I don't live in the northern part of town so I can't offer anyone else. I thought for sure they would rent bikes.

Dozer,

We might yet be able to work something out.

Thanks for the contact.

Treads Bicycle Outfitters does rentals.

Wings,

Thanks! I'll give them a call Tuesday.

Wheat Ridge will allow me to 'test' an Orbea, but the price is a little higher than I'd like. Besides, I might develop a bad case of bike lust. All I really need is a serviceable road bike to keep fit while I'm in Denver for a week.
