Looking for a recommendation in Seattle

Quoted message said:

I'm going to be in Seattle (near the University) for two weeks in July
and am looking for a recommendation where I can rent a road bike. I
did a search on the web and there are many but I'm not sure which
one(s) is in the vicinity where I'll be or which might be better than
the other. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Montlake bike shop does rentals and is just a mile from the University.

Phone # (206) 329-7333

Here's a map of all the seattle bike shops. I put the phone number in
there for all of them, but you'll have to google if you want to hit
their websites.

Mohandas K. Gandhi often changed his mind publicly. An aide once asked him
how he could so freely contradict this week what he had said just last week.
The great man replied that it was because this week he knew better.

Cascade's site will have much of the resources you need:

Rental information here: http://www.cascade.org/Community/rental.cfm. Dane's
right, the Montlake shop is close to the U-District, also All About Bike and
Ski, Bicycle Center, and Ti Cycles. But Recycled Cycles is the closest,
right next to the University, and just off of the Burke-Gilman trail.
Personally, I like the folks at Ti Cycles (say hi to Brian for me) or
Recycled Cycles the best of these, since you asked.

Maps and routes: http://www.cascade.org/Community/maps_routes.cfm. The City
and the County will mail you free maps or you can down load them --
information for these are off of links from this page.

Daily club rides, if you'd like to join us:
http://www.cascade.org/EandR/Activities_Calendar.cfm?query=cascadefreedailyride.
The big STP ride is in July, and starts from the U-District. If you're in
the vicinity July 15, look for about 9000 bikes that morning around the U.
If I weren't riding in it, I'd frankly sleep in and ride late in day on that
date.

If you have specific questions about riding in the Seattle area, try the
message boards here: http://www.cascade.org/Community/forum/index.cfm

Hope this helps.

Hi Claire,

Thanks for the reply, I just received it today or I should say I just
checked into rec.bikes today for the first time in a while. Well
you've given me lots of information to digest. I'm looking forward to
getting out there. I'll be taking a marathon class so I'll only have
time for weekend riding but I'm pretty excited about it. Maybe I'll
see you on one of your club rides. Thanks again.
