The green catches your eye from the entrance of Defiance & how can't you not love this shade!! The options once inside for rentals are endless and inclusive for everyone and anyone - the newest addition is the electric bikes! We went with a manual set of bikes and rode the trail directly behind all the way to Augusta (7 miles ish each way) I love the convenience of the trail being directly behind the shop & the variety of parking options. Also close to multiple places to grab a bite to eat after! Have been going to this shop for the last 10 years when we are in need of a rental bike! The new owners were friendly & helpful with the quick and efficient onboarding process of getting on the trail! Don't hesitate to rent here - affordable for a fun family / friend day on the trail!

John was friendly, he explained the operation of the bikes perfectly, easy to understand. The bikes were in excellent condition. I've biked the Katy many times and this was one of my best rides. The trail near Defiance is a beautiful part of the trail, lots of scenic views of the river. Many wineries, breweries and eating places nearby is a plus. We came back a little late on our 2 hour rental but he didn't gouge us for more. Highly recommend renting bikes here if you are looking for a great Katy Trail experience.

I booked them for this coming weekend, but then nearly immediately learned that half my party could no longer make it in town to attend. I reached out to Cycle Saloon right away, and heard back within an hour of my original booking. They were kind enough to work with me on finding a new date/remedying the deposit given the extraordinary circumstance. What great customer service! I will definitely return to Cycle Saloon when we reschedule in the future.

This business seems to be the only rental place in region but their prices were reasonable. $6/hour.

While they basically only have hybrid bikes (no road bikes), the park is small enough (only about 7 miles around) that you really only need a hybrid bike to see it. They have a selection of different hybrids in various sizes, and my bike worked fine. You also get a lock and helmet with your rental. Pricing is competitive ($10 an hour, with discounts for renting all day), and the checkout process is quick and easy. Staff is knowledgeable and will give you riding advice (getting to the park can be tricky). They are about a 10 minute walk from the subway line or the park entrance.

I walked in and asked if I could schedule a few repairs on my bicycle and they were happy to accommodate my request, however when I asked if I could drop my bike off on the day of the appointment I was informed I would have to leave the bike with them at the time the appointment was scheduled. It would have been well over a week before they could perform the Minor Maintenance. I ride almost daily and did not want to leave the bike sitting in a shop for a week on the shelf. I asked if I could drop it off the day prior to my appointment and again the answer was no. They would not make any adjustments or changes to the policy. I've had service on my bicycles for over 20 years at different bike shops around the US and never had an establishment not work with me or try to help. They just outright didn't care.
