No, you don’t have to reserve a bike days in advance. You can certainly order a bike on the same day. However, due to the possibility of selling out during peak times, we recommend making a reservation a few days ahead to guarantee availability and ensure a smooth experience.

We only rent bikes by the day, allowing you to enjoy your ride at a leisurely pace without the pressure of hourly rentals.

Yes, regardless of whether you are ordering for a single day or multiple days, you will be charged the full rate for the bike, no matter what time you rent it, including if you place an order at 2 PM the same day.

We only offer delivery services. We can deliver bikes either to your place of stay or to a designated pick-up/drop-off location for your convenience.

We will notify you via text or email once your bike has been delivered to your specified address.

If you don’t want your bike dropped off where you’re staying or if there’s no spot to park the bikes, you can select one of our designated Pick-Up/Drop-Off areas to conveniently receive your beach cruiser.
