Cycle Alaska - My husband and myself - Bike Rentals Near Me - Juneau, Alaska

Our tour guide, Marni was not in the best of moods. She was annoyed at the riders who couldn't keep up with her pace. The bikes were not in good shape. Front derailleur, headset, back brakes and crank arms were barely functional. My nephew's grip fell off during the ride. These bikes have not been maintained at all. For the amount of money you spend for the tour, I'd expect a better functioning bike. The tour was nice. Great views of the area. However, our annoyed tour guide was not friendly and it came across too well. When it came time to end the tour at the brewery, Marni showed The group the location of the brewery and left. No "Thank you". She just left. read more

What can I say! They gave us super easy directions and following them was super easy. I know the reviews say there is a big hill but there really isn't. I was super worried about this hill after reading the reviews and let me tell you that the hill wasn't even worth mentioning. But if you are new to bike riding then please understand this a really small hill but for the average bike rider this really isn't even a hill at all. Just saying. They followed us the entire time and made sure we were safe at all times. My only complaint would be to have more time at the visitor center to explore more. We saw both visuals but were very lucky since we are both very fit. If we weren't then we would have definite problems for not having enough time to actually explore things. More time would definitely fix this situation. The brewery part of this tour is including Alaskan Brewing Company. Just in case anybody who is wanting to experience other breweries this isn't your tour. Just one and one only brewery. They could definitely improve this process by including other Alaskan Breweries. Just saying!! Hope this Helps! read more

Did a tour through the cruise company carnival on June 4 wasn't sure what to expect as this was the first tour we did through the ship. Cycle Alaska does the tours and damn I'm impressed. It was organized very cleanly with all of us meeting at the pier and getting into one of two vans with trailers full of bikes. Along the way to the bike destination Dan and David we're extremely knowledgeable about the area and showcasing the highlights of Juneau with their own experiences of the area. During the tour the Dan and David explained the area and I thought I was in a history class on a bike. Enjoyed every moment of it. Weston was following us to ensure our safety and looked after us as we were busy learning. Good job to the team. At the end of the tour we got to wind down with a beer flight tasting which is great! What a way to end the tour. Dan David Weston read more

From the moment we met Lea, our tour guide we knew we were in good hands and about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Not only was Lea knowledgeable and oh, so capable, she was a wealth of local insight and legendary lore. Her team was just as spectacular; Lisa, Cami and Alena, all superstars in their own right. Safety was number one and wild abandon number two as the perfect combination of bike trek bliss. The secret trail to the remote side of the glacier was the money! Thanks Lea!! read more

A beautiful tour! A variety of scenery- glacier, rainforest- all on bikes. The scenic trails were easy as were the short hikes. The equipment was in great condition. I was especially happy to be lead by James who was an informative, friendly guide. Thanks to the great support staff at Cycle Alaska! read more

They were patient, informative, and kind when I went in for a simple part to repair my new cheap Costco bike. As a seasonal visitor, I don't have the fanciest top gear. Thanks so much for not making me feel judged and for getting me what I needed with a smile. And thank you for being the original and better choice over the "other guy" (tempermental former used car salesman who got in trouble for bad practices). read more

Great service and super friendly! Caleb was very helpful and outgoing. Got a cool Jersey there too...oh and the bike trails around Juneau are awesome! read more

Came in on a Royal Caribbean cruise but booked independently and so glad we did. There was a smaller group and Autumn and Tori were amazing. We were at port on a beautiful Sunday and decided to do the afternoon tour. I would absolutely do this again it did not even feel like we biked 7.5 miles! Both Autumn and Tori were very knowledgeable and kept us very safe on the tour. Found them in the visit alaska.org site but can also go straight to their site. The weather was great but I would still do on a cold and/or rainy day read more

My wife and I just completed their Bike & Brew and Glacier View tour and we LOVED it. Our primary guides were Chase and Emily but the other two guides (I can't remember their names) were all amazing. They had allot of energy, patience and really loved giving these tours. The tour itself was beautiful with well maintained equipment and good instruction. We highly recommend this if you are looking for a relaxed pace ride down small roads and bike/hike trails through the forest. A+ rating for all crew members! read more

My wife and I rented bikes from Caleb. We rode up from downtown area to Mendenhall Glacier. Caleb was informative, charming and gave us quality bikes. I highly recommend Cycle Alaska. We will be back some day soon. read more

An awesome tour experience, for sure book an excursion if you're visiting Juneau. The perfect mix of active riding and scenic tour.

Annabelle and Portia were great tour guides! I loved the ride and the information about Juneau!!!

Absolutely amazing shop and owner John. I rented a full suspension mtb for the day while I was off the ship from my cruise. The shop is within a 10 minute walk from the Port. Once I arrived we took around 30 minutes (my preference) to setup the bike to my specs. To my surprise and delight the bike was in good working order mechanically. Would recommend this shop to anyone looking to do some more serious riding to the person just looking to explore the location via a bike. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Cycle Alaska. First, my tour guide, Annabelle, was phenomenal. She was very knowledgeable on the local wildlife in Alaska, discussing fun facts about bald eagles, salmon, bears, and more. She was thorough in her explanations throughout the tour and was very informative about glaciers and the nearby mountains! The tour was very enjoyable and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Juneau. Thanks Cycle Alaska! read more

We used Cycle Alaska for a bike tour up to the glacier. The tour was beautiful, despite the rain (they provided rain gear for us!) Li, Ryan, Lea, and Alaina were kind, informative, and prioritized safety and a fun time. read more

Autumn was a fantastic guide. It was well worth the money. Nice to see the new habitat.

Autumn and Tori provided my friend and I with the most incredible tour today! We were in port on a cruise ship and highly recommend anyone selects this tour. Autumn and Tori were friendly, concerned for our safety, and made sure we had an absolute incredible time! The tour was physical but our guides were able to adapt their style to our level of experience on the bike. The views on this tour were also incredible and offered you more than just one excursion but instead the best of what Juneau had to offer! read more

We did the Bike and Brew tour with guides Mick and Lisa. The guides were very knowledgeable about life in Juneau, its history, geography, flora, fauna - you name it! The ride itself was great. One small hill at the beginning then flat the rest of the way. Really enjoyed this! read more

Off the Princess cruise ship, Kait and I enjoyed the whole process from booking ahead to gently finding our way down the hill (s) to the final lake inlet. Adara and Suzanne were both so kind and knowledgeable, especially noting that Adara had just started in the past two weeks! We had various levels of bicycle expertise in the group and everyone accommodated each other graciously. The final portion of the tour was an all day tram pass with a challenging mountain hike at the top. Thank you for choosing a ride with spectacular views and informative Alaska facts! read more

Wow great experience! The guides John and Tori really created a amazing atmosphere and created a lifelong memory!

Cycle Alaska does bicycle sales, rentals, and repairs; however, I want to address their tours. My wife and I booked their Bike and Brew tour through our cruise company (Celebrity) for our shore excursion in Juneau. We were enticed by the idea of a healthy bike ride to see some breathtaking scenery, followed by some well-earned local beer. With one relatively minor exception, we were not disappointed. Check out the Cycle Alaska website for a detailed description of the tour, where it goes and what you will see. Basically it starts at Auke Lake and partially circumnavigates Mendenhall Lake, giving you two spectacular stops to view the Mendenhall Glacier as well as a final leg through a very pretty section of mossy old-growth forest. (My wife referred to this as the "Ewok village" portion of the tour, but of course those Episode VI scenes were filmed in Humboldt County, California redwood forests, not southeastern Alaskan spruce and hemlock forests.) Our guides were effective and fun, shading pretty far towards the laid-back, almost the slacker end of the spectrum; but they knew their stuff, and I was not disappointed by the "lecture" portions of the tour. We learned a lot about the glacier and the forest, as well as some civic and cultural tidbits pertaining to Juneau. Our tour was staffed by Joe, Nick, Sara, and a taller guy with a beard whose name I didn't catch. They made sure to stress safety during the opening briefing and even handed out rubber bands to anyone with a loose pantleg. The equipment was pretty decent for rentals. My bicycle gave a weird little trumpety sound when I braked, but it operated just fine. We all got helmets and bikes, of course, but they also provided unlimited bottled water, as well as snacks (e.g. granola bars) and hot drinks (e.g. hot cider and hot cocoa) at our midpoint stop. My only complaint is that the biking portions were too easy. My wife and I were hoping for a good workout but this tour seems aimed at a broader audience who might not be able to handle a strenuous ride. The Activity Level on the site is listed as "Moderate" and in retrospect I suppose that is fair. The total distance was officially given as 8.5 miles, so working backwards from that figure, I would estimate the four legs at about 1, 3, 3, and 1.5 miles, executed over about a 2.5-hour period with a long break at the second stop. And the riding pace was sometimes painfully slow. But don't get me wrong--the ease of the ride did not at all detract from our enjoyment of the tour; it's just that we were hoping for some good exercise as a side benefit. The beer tasting portion was just as good. The tour wrapped up back in town at the Hangar, a bar-and-grill-type place in Merchant's Wharf. The tasting was comprised of three Alaskan Brewing beers plus another from Northern Lights Brewing Company. The pours were generous (8 ounces I think) and the narration was very interesting and highly informative. Over the course of the trip, I had come to love the Alaskan Brewing beers and enjoyed hearing about their history. The man leading the tasting was possibly from the brewery because he said "us" and "we" a few times; if that is the case, I am even more impressed. All in all, this was a home run among our excursion choices. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a full afternoon of fantastic sight-seeing and great local beer. And a little exercise as a bonus. read more

I booked the bike and brew tour with Cycle Alaska through the cruise I was on- and this ended up being one of my favorite shore excursions during the cruise. The guides were friendly, good natured and knowledgeable in history, nature and of course beer. While the tour was categorized as being somewhat physically challenging- it was not demanding at all. From the pics, I thought there'd be more trail riding- but most of it ended up being on flat, paved roads. There were a couple of small hills and one stretch on an unpaved trail in a forest- definitely my favorite part. The tour takes you to a couple of spots with good views/photo opps of the Mendenhall Glacier. You're also given a bit of free time (and a snack) at the Glacier. For the last portion, the tour crew brought us back to "downtown" Juneau and to the Hanger, a former flight deck turned bar. The bartender poured us a pretty generous flight of 4 different brews- an Alaskan Amber, an Alaskan brewing co Belgian white ale, a Denali brewing co kolsch and an IPA from another local brew comp that now escapes me. I took a particular liking to the Alaskan Amber and the Denali kolsch. Perfect after a bit of riding. Would definitely recommend the tour for anyone looking for something a bit more on the active side, includes good views of the glacier and involves local brews. read more

We visited Juneau from a cruise, and decided to go on this bike tour! 10/10 recommend! The staff is phenomenal! They are courteous for all the riders! Great education on the 20 min ride over. We had Bella, Adara (not sure if that's correct), Skyler and Diego! They weren't hesitant to stop and change out my bike with a flat tire! I would do this again. read more

Our cruise ship was delayed by 8 hours giving us only 2 hours to enjoy Juneau. We had originally reserved a tandem planning to take our time around the city and to the glacier, but opted for two electrics instead given the time constraint. Jon was very nice to provide the upgrade to electrics for free given our cruise ship inconveniences. The bikes were great, but we underestimated our strength and found ourselves likely arriving back late to the cruise at our pace, so we frantically called Jon. Without hesitation, he picked us up and called the cruise agent to inform them of our possible late arrival. We were able to reach the cruise ship in time thanks to him! Can't recommend him enough, what a great experience! read more

This is a fantastic place to rent a bike! We were on a cruise into Juneau and I wanted to take my kids on a mountain bike ride. We reserved the bikes online and when we arrived at the store, which is a short walk from the cruise ship dock we were met by Caleb who got us set up right away! They took time to tell us how to ride out of town and how to get to the Treadwell trail, which was just beautiful. Their service and friendliness were a highlight of our cruise. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic bike shop with anything you would need. GREAT RENTALS! John was incredibly helpful with helping to decide what bike to rent, and also with routes and more. Friendly service, and lots of local knowledge. The whole staff was really fun to know, and very helpful. Thanks for a great rental experience in Juneau. I'll definitely come back. read more

We did a bike trip with Cycle Alaska during a shore excursion on our Alaska cruise. I must say that the staff is friendliest on Earth. Super nice people and very knowledgable about the area. We did a bike ride to Mendenhall glacier and then stopped at a brewery to sample the delightful Alaskan beers. My only complaint is that they should keep their bikes in better repair. My wife's bike was missing the stripe on that back tire and by the end of the ride during a slightly wet and muddy day she had so much mud on her back you could have mistaken her for a mud wrestler. Guys please install a wheel cover on your bikes!!! All in all we had a fun trip, and not a bad deal for $85, but if they are going to charge this much for a tour, get the equipment in decent shape please. read more

My group rented 6 regular bikes, a tandem bike, and a baby trailer from Cycle Alaska when we were in Juneau. We booked ahead of time online, and they were ready for us before regular business hours, since our cruise ship came into port early. The bike size I wanted wasn't available online, but they had the right size in store and let me switch. They provided our party with maps, water, and snacks. They suggested a great ride into the neighboring island called Douglas. We rode up to an abandoned mine, ending up at Sandy Beach. This was an awesome recommendation. The beach was gorgeous and we spent a while exploring. The bikes were in excellent condition and we didn't have any mechanical issues. When we returned the bikes, the owner offered us a ride back into town! If you are coming in from a cruise ship, be advised that Cycle Alaska is a 20 minute walk from where the shuttles drop off passengers. It's definitely worth the walk, especially if you can snag a ride back from their above-and-beyond helpful staff. read more

My wife and I were in Juneau visiting family and had an AWESOME time using their e-bikes and mountain bikes around the area to get out on road rides and amazing trail rides to see glaciers, amazing beaches, forrests, rivers, etc. Absolutely the best way to see the area. The entire team there was super helpful and their bikes and equipment are the very best you can get. Don't miss the chance to do this and see the area at bike level ... cannot recommend it more highly! Paul W from Fredericksburg TX read more

Small town service in the city. I called a week prior, spoke with Breanna, to arriving in town to request they hold a NM torque. When I arrived, it was sitting there. In addition, the fellow who helped me was very professional and assisted me with putting the final upgrades on my fat tire. I'll be read more

Thank you Cycle Alaska for an amazing experience visiting Juneau! We rented eMTBs and cycled to the Mendenhall glacier. Definitely the best way to travel around Juneau. The bikes were very capable for any terrain John (the friendliest bike shop owner I've ever met) supplied us with everything we needed for the bike trip: flat repair kit, map, bottled water and even a snack. Stop by Cycle Alaska and you won't regret it! read more

Our dogsledding/glacier/helicopter excursion was cancelled due to weather and luckily we had looked into Cycle Alaska as a backup plan. Our guide was Fletcher and Andre drove the van - for a young guy, Fletcher was AWESOME! Pleasant, engaging, informative, and friendly. (andre was the much quieter of the two). He led the group at a comfortable pace. They drive you out in the van to the starting point and then your biking journey begins. I will say, the first 10 minutes of the bike ride are the WORST - pretty steep hill, you begin to wonder if you made a big mistake booking it. No worries, it's all good from there and a TOTALLY manageable ride. If it's even slightly rainy, take them up on the offer for the waterproof pants/coat, since there's no fenders on the bike and there's a LOT of splashback up your rear and back!! They also provide helmets (bring a Lysol wipe if you're worried about the moist strap! Could be rain/humidity.... could be sweat... who knows!) It was amazing to ride through Juneau, into the forest path, and then when you pop out, holy COW, there's a glacier! They then take you around to the other side of the glacier and you can visit the Visitor's Center for Mendenhall Glacier, but it's a **VERY** quick stop. You don't get much time at all. We did the Bike and Brew excursion through Holland America... the biking part was great, the "brew" portion took a longgggg time b/c our server was also serving tons of other dining tables in the restaurant and there were huge pauses in between each pitcher of beer. We ended up having to leave before samplin them all in order to make it to our 7:45pm dining time on the ship! :( [also, the beer isn't brewed on location, FYI.] read more
