Service was excellent. Peter is very organized, and gives detailed instructions. Bike was great, The hike to Flattop, and then the bike back down, was exhilarating. Better be in decent shape for this. Highly recommended. More

Once you are in Anchorage for awhile, you will find that there are several places from which to rent bicycles. I would highly recommend going to Downtown Bicycle Rental. He takes great care of his bicycles. He takes the time to help fit you with the right bike for you. He also makes sure that any accessories are clean and... More

I hadn't ridden a bike in over 10 years. Then my sister came to visit and wanted to ride the Coastal Trail. The store was busy, but the guy was very encouraging and helped us find the right bikes. They provided maps and told us what to expect. $16 for 3 hours of rental and that level of service was... More

The Tony Knowles bike trail was very close. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great selection of bikes. This is a great way to see Anchorage that will let you get some exercise too. More

My husband and I rented a tandem bike for the first time, and had a great time! They gave us a very clear map to get around town and the bike was in good condition. Good value for the money. More

Rented bicycles and rode the Tony Knowles trail. Had a great time and saw a number of moose along the way. The sights were also beautiful. The staff took the time to fit each of us properly and reviewed the trail map with us before we left. More

Had a free day in anchorage, and wanted to bike the coastal trail (a lovely 11 mile each way paved trip along the outskirts of anchorage, from downtown to kincaid park). these guys had a great price ($16 for three hours, although they didn't even clock it, coulda stayed out longer), and amazing service (tried multiple bikes until we found...

Pete was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Saw that someone in our group was a bit rusty, so suggested we get a tandem and pair with an experienced rider in our group. Gave us a discount because we were renting the bikes close to the end of the day. Best part was he said we could call him and check if... More

We decided to take mountain bikes to Denali National Park and thought it would be easier to get them in Anchorage during business hours rather than trying to beat the clock to Healy. We found Downtown on the web. From our first email until we returned the bikes at the end of our trip, Peter was so helpful, so friendly...he... More
