We decided to go biking around Stanley park and visited Spokes to rent our bikes. They had multiple options of bikes (e-bikes, fixed-gear, city bikes and tandem bikes) The staff were friendly and helpful, recommending bikes based on your comfort. Their prices are a bit higher than others around there, but I think the quality of their bikes make up for it. The experience of renting the bike was smooth as you only need to provide a credit card on file before you rent and are only charged after you return the bikes. This removes the hassle of calculating how long you would want to rent the bikes for. They also provide helmets so you don't need to bring anything with you. I'll be sure to stop by there again before summer ends for sure :) read more

Spokes Bicycle Rentals - Bike Rentals Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We wanted to bike around the Seawall / Stanley Park, so came here for bike rentals. Their location is super convenient and you're just a 5 minute ride from the seawall. We opted for regular leisure bikes but you can also rent e-bikes here. The registration process was easy and we were in/out in 10 minutes. They provided the bikes and helmets as well as baskets if we wanted. read more

This is the closest bike rental spot to Stanley Park, and the process was super easy. After signing in with your email at the kiosk, just let the staff know which type of bike you want. We chose the e-bikes since we weren't looking for a workout on vacation, and it was definitely the right call. The staff will set you up with your bike and then off you go! The loop around the park is just under 7 miles and took us about 1.5 hours with plenty of photo stops along the way. When you're done, simply return the bike to a staff member and pay when you check out. The system is smooth and efficient. We had a great time and would absolutely rent from Spokes again! read more

Our family of four, all adults, were visiting Vancouver and I wanted to go around Stanley park on bikes. Spokes was super quick to get in and out. I do think they should give a little bit more instruction. Some people in our group didn't know how to change gears and I had to stop and instruct them. We had a fantastic time going around the park. It was one of the highlights of the trip for me. read more

Spokes Bicycle Rentals - Me - Bike Rentals Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Very easy to rent a bike. Conveniently located a block away from the sea wall. You can just walk your bike down and jump on. Staff was fast and friendly. They provided a map, helmet, and basket (free of charge). They have a few different types of bikes, so think about which one you will want beforehand. I wanted the most basic, one speed, foot brake bike but they ended up giving me one with a hand brake, which was surprising once I got riding but it worked out. $18 for a little over 2 hours. They have a Yelp check-in offer. I would come here again the next time I want to ride through the park! read more

We had a great experience renting six e-bikes from Spokes. The bikes were in great working order and the staff were excellent with helping us get registered and comfortable with using the bikes. The shop is conveniently located near Stanley Park and it was an easy walk down to the park to begin our ride. The bikes worked great during our rental. Returning the bikes was seamless and they even had a piece of chocolate for us at the end which was a nice treat! read more

Wanted to tour around Stanley park, but a 6+ mile walk wasn't in the cards. Saw Spokes online and walked in to rent a couple bikes. All the staff we interacted with were super friendly and helpful. Made recommendations, provided us with a map and got us set up outside on bikes and adjustments. We were able to add a basket and a cell phone holder as options, but didn't really need it. Total loop for us over just over 7 miles and took 45 minutes (not including stops). Bikes were decent, some seem to have a lot of usage, but worked well for us. Cruisers were more comfortable, but slower. read more

Didn't need to book ahead, they have plenty of bikes. Well staffed, quick service. Without a reservation, it took us all of 5 minutes to get checked in and onto our bikes! Closest shop to Stanley park. You just cross the road at the cross walk and then you can hop right onto the seawall trail. Dropping off bikes was even faster! Would do again read more

We had a great experience at Spokes! We reserved our bikes the evening before online and it made it completely flawless to walk in and check in. In a matter of minutes (maybe only 1 minute), they put my name in, handed me our helmets, gave us a basket and sent us out to hop on our bikes. We rented 7 speed cruiser bikes that were comfortable for a day of riding and were well maintained. The lock is attached to the bike to make stopping and sightseeing easy. We biked around Stanley Park and then extended our ride to go into the city. Given Vancouver's flat and protected bike lanes, we had a great time riding through the city and back to the shop. Returning was just as easy - pull up on the side walk, walk in and give my name, hand over the helmets and basket and you're back on your way. If you aren't an experienced rider, I'd be sure to either go with a tour group from the shop or get a thorough overview of the bike and know that when you bike through Stanley Park you go counter clock-wise, allow for faster bikers to pass on the left, and refrain from riding 2-by-2. The path is very accessible, but can be challenging at times if folks don't know biking etiquette - so be sure to ask what all you should know about where / how to bike! read more

Rumor has it Spokes is Vancouver's original bike rental shop established in 1938! These guys know their bikes and it's no wonder they are rated #1 in Vancouver. Conveniently located at the North West corner of West Georgia Street and Denman Street just a short stroll from the starting point of Stanley Park's bike trail. Once you arrive you will be directed to fill in your info on an Ipad or if you are a repeat customer you can head straight to the cashier. All rentals include a helmet, a bike lock, and a basket. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable to give you the best advice on which bike to choose to fit your needs. Once you made a choice a rental ticket will be provided and you simply hand the ticket to the awaiting staff outside who will help you set up you seat height, your helmet, and guide you on how to use the bike lock. After you've completed your bike ride for the day simply return to the location awaiting staff once again assist you in putting your bike away and you process your payment at the cashier counter. I chose a 7 speed cruiser and their rates are as follows at the time of this writing: - $11.43 + GST / minimum 1 hour and rounds to the nearest 15 minutes - $34.29 + GST for half a day (3 - 6 hours) = 3 free hours - $45.72 + GST for full day (7 hours or more) I rode around Stanley Park for 1 hour and 33 minutes and $18.00 all in was my bill. There are nearby shops with minimal cheaper rates, but when you factor in the service, selection and location Spokes stands out from the rest! read more

Quick efficient service. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rental includes helmets, baskets and bike locks. The start of the Stanley Park seawall trail is just steps away from the bike rental location. read more

What a well-oiled machine of an operation. You can rent a bike for an hour, half day, or full day at this shop. It's so close to Stanley Park that you can literally walk your bike to the path and then head out to your stroll. No need for an appointment which was amazing and you're in and out within five minutes. You have to register yourself to be in their system first and then it's an easy checkout system. I paid a few extra bucks to have a basket which I highly recommend. Make sure to grab helmet for safety purposes. You leave a card on file so you only pay when you return the bike. If you're needing to rent a bike, Spokes Bicycles is the place to go! read more

Spokes Bicycle Rentals exceeded my expectations and made our day at Stanley Park truly unforgettable! Because it was conveniently located just across the street from the park's entrance, finding the shop was a breeze. Upon entering, we were greeted by the staff, who helped us get set up. The rental process was smooth and efficient, with a simple sign-in on an iPad, and a reservation at the counter. They offered a wide range of bike options, with competitive pricing. You are charged a minimum of one hour and then prorated every 15 minutes. There's a half-day discount (Up to 6 hours of ride time for the price of 3), and complimentary locks, helmets, baskets. Definitely check out their website and use it to plan your rental time/itinerary! We easily spent 3 hours in Stanley Park, and then another 3 checking out the downtown area. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for 10% off your total! read more

Conveniently located on the corner and right across the street from Stanley Park's entrance. It was very easy to see and find from the number 19 bus going to Stanley Park. There are many bicycle rental shops nearby but my husband insisted on renting from Spokes because they had such good reviews. Their service was fast, friendly, and hassle free. As soon as we walked in, they had us sign in on an iPad. We were then helped at the counter. They were so efficient that I forgot to take a picture of their pricing and bike options. Anyways, there are many bike options to pick from. All the bike rentals come with free helmets and locks. They charge a minimum of 1 hour and then it's prorated every 15 minutes. We had our bikes out for 1 hour and 59 mins and so we paid $22 for 2 hours. Returning the bike was just as easy as renting the bike. In fact, there was an employee waiting for us as we crossed the street. We took our ticket in and paid. That was it. Tip: if you check in on Yelp you get 10% off your bill. read more

The people that work here are very nice, professional, and helpful. We rented two e-bikes and a trailer. They offered us helmets for everyone in our party. They hooked up the trailer and set us up to bike the Seawall which took about an hour and fifteen minutes. The kiddos had a wonderful time and we got to explore Stanley Park in a quick bike ride. Overall, I recommend getting the trailer if you have kiddos. read more

We found Spokes on Yelp and apparently they are quite popular! You get discount if you check in on Yelp. They are conveniently located right at a spot where you just ride shortly and get to Stanley park right away. Everyone was friendly and they had a variety of bikes for rentals. Definitely would come back to rent with them again if I was in the area again! read more

Renting our eBikes was a breeze! Don't forget to ask for either a basket or a pouch to hold your phone, wallet, keys, etc. Return was just as easy breezy! Everyone was friendly and helpful despite having such a busy crowd to work through. Highly recommend! read more

As a L.T. seasoned tour guide in Stanley park I can speak from experience based on what I've witnessed before my eyes everyday and based on my own rental experience (which I occasionally do to try out new places) and Spokes is certainly - IMO - the best place to rent; Why???? *Closest rental shop to Stanley Park. *They also have a 2nd location downtown near Canada Place/Cruise terminal/Waterfront Station to rent or drop-off/pick up your bikes. *Very large inventory of high quality, dependable, easy to operate bikes meant for everyday/typical users (and that is very important!!!). *Super Fast, Easy & Efficient rental pick-up/drop-off procedure. *Very fair and good pricing and terms. My (strong) personal recommendation for Stanley Park rides is to rent a TREK FX-2 as it's a light-weight, super maneuverable, well balanced Aluminum Hybrid bike with disk brakes and very good simple to use shifter and designed and equipped for both asphalt and gravel surfaces - which is what you need in the park because you should not only drive around the outer paved seawall but try to go inside/middle of the park to see the most beautiful natural areas and see wildlife and massive trees in the forest and this bike is perfect for the hard-packed gravel trails inside the middle of the park - which are super easy to navigate with this bike. While there are a few other economy rental shops around town for a sliver less cost, many of their bikes are something to behold (and not in a good way) and I've witnessed many of their bike tow trucks (Bikes w/trailers) whiz by on the way into the park to replace or repair broken down cheap/old bikes with jammed derailers, derailed chains and flat tires. I would also not recommend the bikes you see all over the city in those racks as they are Clunky, Heavy Steel Bikes and more expensive with complicated registration. The only advantage of those IMO (and which might be important for some) is that you can drop them off all over the city - but that's about it. Anyhow, hope this helps ! read more

Great and easy experience. Staff was extremely friendly and fun to work with. They knew what we needed before we'd even ask. Location is also prime right next to Stanley park. A lot of competition around the area but this seems like the clear winner from our experience. I can't talk on price comparisons but the ease of this transaction made it worth it. I do think that they should have made the pricing more clear and offered knowledge of potential discounts at checkout. read more

Great service and prices! Staff was super friendly and my friends and I had a blast biking around Stanley park. They also offer free plastic hoodies that really helped keep us dry during the rain. I recommend the 7 speed since it helps protect the wheels. Highly recommend! read more

Great way to see Stanley Park and the seawall. We got the e-bikes, although the ride was flat so we could have ridden regular bikes. Very fast in and out service, well-maintained bikes, friendly staff, reasonable rates. read more

They were efficient and knew what they were doing. First, you check in line and fill out some forms and then the bike concierges pick out the bikes for you. They're pretty accurate in how quickly they found bikes for our height and adjusted them for us. We had a great time biking around Stanley Park. Due to their large selection, location, highly recommend this bike shop. read more

Yes, yes, yes! We visited Stanley Park and we rented bikes for the whole day. It was perfect! They gave us baskets that came in handy and helmets to protect us. Please try this place out. read more

Great 10% Yelp discount. Arrived 9am no wait. Plan your route carefully as the bike path is one way. We had to walk the bike back on pedestrian path for the last half mile was not a big deal. Great way to see the park. The junior 24" mountain bike was grip shift. The city hybrid was a mountain bike with city tires was easy to pedal. We ended up stopping many times and having over priced lunch but was a fun day. Returned bike after 4 hrs there was a decent like for renting but the check out was easy and quick at a different line. Great for kids who don't like to walk. Tandems available. Next time I would get a cruiser 7 speed because they have bags to put your stuff in. read more

They had a great system to keep everything moving efficiently- they were renting a lot of bikes! But everyone was friendly and gave us the individual attention to make sure we had a good experience. Loved the convenience of the location for riding near Stanley Park and LOVED the helpful map they provided for travelers like me- made it super easy to navigate and see everything we wanted to see. Loved that they included helmet & bike lock!! read more

The service here are amazing. Everyone working here was very pleasant to talk to, and catered to our needs when we needed mountain bikes that were good for snowy/wet terrain. Even when we were far away and one of our back tire quick released, the gentleman that attended to us during the day promptly video called us to walk us through the steps to inspect the bike. This is a place where I would love to come back again. read more

Quick and efficient rental process. All team members were friendly and hardworking. You can tell there's a flow they follow. I didn't think renting a bike could be this easy. We rented 2 standard and 1 tandem bike. Credit card needed. read more

Bike broke ten minutes in and had to wait 30 mins for a mechanic to show up. Because of that we did not have time to go through the whole park. We were told to take a shortcut but when we got there it was closed. So we had to turn around and bike on the opposite end of the one way roads to get back in time. They only took off $2 for the inconvenience which was not enough for the stress and panic it caused us trying to get back before closing or else we'd have to return it in the morning even though we were going back to Seattle that night. read more

My bike ride was so fun. When you go on the bike you can really see all of Stanley Park, Canada. I truly recommend it! The staff were so friendly & helpful! read more

Spokes Bicycle Rentals - On the bike ride - Bike Rentals Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I've had a couple of crappy experiences renting bikes so I was slightly dreading the afternoon bicycling through Stanley Park. However, Spokes makes it pretty easy. There's a 10% discount with Yelp check-in - yay! It's pretty straightforward to rent - you rent by the hour after choosing your bicycle type. They also provide you with a helmet - WEAR IT - safety first! Track your time wisely to make sure you aren't going only a couple minutes over the next hour. But you can take advantage of some of the specials over 3 hours. The bikes are in pretty good condition and are good quality. The rental shop is a couple of blocks from Stanley Park. Overall, a solid bicycle rental option for every need! read more

We always come here when we want to ride bikes near Stanley Park. It is located right next door. Finding parking in this area is a pain though. Make sure you abide by all the downtown parking rules because they check the parking religiously. The bike rental place is fast and efficient. It think their bikes are fairly priced. We had a bike break in the middle of our rental and they biked out to swap out our broken bike. I highly recommend this place. read more

Fun, easy and convenient. The bikes made our trip to Vancouver so enjoyable. Staff was helpful and the process took minutes.

I made my reservation online and they made it seamless with check in and check out. They provide helmets and measure you for bike seat height. We enjoyed riding around Stanley park on tandem bikes. It only took us about 2 hours to get around. We didn't take the half day rental time I booked. I asked if they could make an adjustment on the fee and he actually gave me a small refund. I really appreciated it and his customer service. Our second time renting from Spokes and we will be back again. Highly recommend them if you want to rent bikes. read more

May 2022 vacation: During my trip planning - Spokes stood above the rest with the most professional, family friendly, and easiest booking/reserving process. Not to mention that it is located right across from the entrance of Stanley Park - it was a win-win for me and my family. I reserved and paid online, got confirmation via email instantly and before my trip came - I even got a reminder email and a reminder text the night before - talk about efficiency! We had a couple of last minute changes but the workers were soooo accommodating and worked with my family to the very last minute making sure we were taken care of and had the most appropriate bikes. I booked the whole day with Spokes and the pricing was very reasonable (around $230 for family of 5 hoomans and 1 doggo). Our ride over to Stanley Park was most enjoyable- the family enjoyed it so much that we went back for a second round last leg of our vacation. Truly recommend this business as a place to check out if you are ever in Vancouver. Momo approves! read more

Came back recently based on my previously positive experience with Spokes. Again, the customer service was friendly and efficient. They really make sure you get in and out of the store quickly, whether it is to embark on your biking adventure or to get you on your way to your next stop - in the best way possible. Post pandemic, they seem to be operating with high cleaning standards from what I am reading online and in their store memos. We biked around Stanley Park for a bit over an hour. Helmet and locks included in the rental already, so no nickel and dime-ing here. Definitely recommend and will be coming back, for sure! TIP: check in on Yelp for 10% off! read more

Thank you Spokes for making our trip around Stanley Park a breeze. My boyfriend and I kept getting the recommendation to take a bike ride around Stanley Park. I found Spokes on an online article and luckily they were right by the Seawall. It was about $25-$30 each for 3-6 hours depending on the bike you chose. I got a 6 speed cruiser for $10.47 to start and my boyfriend got a 1 speed cruiser with $8.57 to start. The bikes came with helmets, baskets, and a lock, which made our travel really easy. They only required a $1 deposit for incidentals and you're good to go. We even parked them at the aquarium with no problem at all. I haven't been on a bike in about 10 years and was scared that it would be difficult to operate. The bike had hand breaks and rode very smooth so I didn't have to worry one bit. We biked about 7 miles and returned the bikes right in front of Spokes. I loved how convenient it was to rent and return the them. I recommend Spokes really to anyone who would like to take the must-do bike ride around Stanley Park's Seawall. There are a ton of other bike options and even a tandem if you're looking for something a little less intense. read more
