RentABike - Ottawa, ON

Carsi

Sehr gute Fahrräder, die vor der Fahrt nochmal überprüft werden und an den Fahrer angepasst werden. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Mit den Bikes hat die Erkundung Ottawas richtig Spaß gemacht.

We recently had the pleasure of taking a guided bicycle tour with RentABike in Ottawa, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Our tour guide, Art, was nothing short of amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and humble, making the tour enjoyable and informative for everyone in our group.

Art led us through the heart of Ottawa, showing us key landmarks such as Rideau Hall, the office and residence of the Governor General, the Prime Minister’s residence, various embassies and ambassadors' residences, and so much more. His insights into each location added a rich historical context that we would have otherwise missed.

The scenic views of the city, including Rideau Falls and the Ottawa River, were breathtaking. One of the highlights was a refreshing swim in the Ottawa River after a few hours of biking. The facilities at the swimming spot were exceptionally clean and well-maintained, providing a perfect way to relax and cool off.

All the staff at RentABike went above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience. They helped us check out our bikes, provided a place to change clothes if needed, kept our belongings safe until we returned, and even gave us free water bottles. They were all so enthusiastic, adventurous, and friendly, making them a joy to interact with.

This was hands down the best bicycle guided tour we have ever had. We highly recommend RentABike in Ottawa, especially if you can have Art as your guide. He truly made the experience special and memorable.

Excellent service ! Easy to rent. We had visions of going out for the whole day but did the canal to the lake and back and that was enough. They equip you with a lock and you pay when you return so you don’t need to fuss about your time. Seats are a little hard so be prepared. If you are not a regular cyclist maybe they offer a more comfortable seat option. I didn’t ask.

My husband and I rented carbon fiber bikes to go up to the Champlain lookout in Gatineau. The staff were friendly and adjusted our seat posts. They had helmets on site. Really convenient location!

This place is fantastic. No need to rent from anyone else. They have a vast array of bike options and accessories including self guided bike routes.

Great place to rent a bike for your time in Ottawa. The owner, Harry, was always very nice and helpful, as was his associate, Sasha. Their location is also really unique and interesting. If you need a bike in Ottawa, look no further. They offer great value and service.

5/5 stars without any hesitation. My wife (girlfriend at the time) and I first visited RentABike over 20 years ago in Aug 2003, when fresh out of university and visiting my hometown, we decided to ride up to the Champlain Lookout in Gatineau Park. Harry was there at the time to help us get set up on nice high end road bikes - we had such a blast, we came back a second time and rented a tandem for some fun times along the Ottawa Parkway. Fast forward to July 2024; now married with young kids and visiting my mom in Kanata for a few weeks, we needed bikes for a long term rental to allow the kids to attend a Pedalheads camp (and to let us get out and explore the great road !) When I learned that RentABike was still around, there was no hesitation on who we would rent our bikes from, even with the trek downtown from Kanata. To my surprise, Harry was still there! The RentABike staff were amazing in dialing in the fit for our rental bikes, ensuring a perfect fit for our boys on their mountain bikes, and the gravel bikes my wife and I were given were superb. The bikes were all well maintained and performed as expected on the road and on the trails; the long term rental proceeded without a hitch. All in all, I can't thank everyone at RentABike enough for the excellent service, experience, and memories they've made possible for my family - and that's over a 20 year gap! I can only hope that RentABike will still be there for us when we next visit Ottawa. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience.

Rented a higher end road bike and all I had to bring was my kit and shoes. Everything else was provided for a reasonable price.

Answered emailed questions quickly and bike was ready when I arrived. Bike was in great condition and Harry himself helped me out.

A ton of signed bike paths leading to some classic Gatineau road rides. Will be back.
