HIGHLY Recommend! I went for a pedal change and came back with a crash course on road bike best practices. Ben was awesome, he explained thoroughly how to get the best out of my bike without spend thousands of dollars, and even helped me fix the shoes' clips I got elsewhere. From now on, Cycle City only! Thank you guys.

Good bikes.. make sure you ask about their rain day policy. Booked for a full day... was told in person that if it was too rainy that they would accommodate us... after half a day riding in the rain, we were soaked and chilled to the bone... brought the bikes back and still had to pay for the full day. Buyer beware. City Cycle has since come thru with a partial credit. Thank you!

Cycle city are the pros. We rented four ebikes and every bike and helmet was it top condition. They took time to recommend places to see and also a few places to avoid. We had a great time and at the end of the day, they were eager to hear how things went. Absolutely recommend based on my experience. Top reservation system, great communication via email and everything was setup and ready to upon our arrival.

Have rented from this company during both my visits to Vancouver. Including one with my family of 3. We rented the trailer for my toddler and the added bike for my 7 year old. They did an amazing job accommodating us with reliable ebikes. Would highly recommend if you're doing a bike tour of Vancouver. 10/10

Our city e-bike tour here was great. Our tour guide Greg instantly put us at ease on our machines, and led us on a fantastic tour of the city. We learned about the history and culture of Canada, breezed up hills effortlessly, then had a blast going back down them. I recommend this tour to anyone that can ride a bike!

Alexander was the real MVP of the day. He gave us the perfect route to see the city and was super helpful when selecting the type of bike to ride. My husband and I were in British Columbia for our honeymoon and stayed in Victoria, Tofino, and Vancouver. We did a LOT this trip in all locations, but agreed that the full day ride on the bikes along the water was one of our favourite activities of the whole trip. We stopped frequently to eat and grab coffee/drinks along the way. Definitely rent the eBikes if youre not a seasoned rider if you want to cover a lot of ground. They give you a little

One of the best bike rental stores in the city. These friendly people are giving you a lot of info about the routes and what to visit by bike. The bikes are well maintained and at the day of rental, all bikes were preset to the exact height. The girl that helped us to start, liked very much my botanic print on my shirt :D. So this review is also an invitation to the girl to like my Instagram page "New Realities Photography".... :)
