    Default Need recommendation on where to rent a mountain bike

    I am visiting from Texas and would like to ride a couple of hours at Sunderbach. Can you recommend a good place to rent a quality mountain bike that would be suitable for riding here. Thanks!

    Man, I got no idea, I don't think the bike shops around here have any rentals. Anyone else know of a place?

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    There is an outfitter at Credit Island, but I believe their bikes are going to be more of bike path quality. You can find their phone number here http://www.princetonoutdooradventures.com/ However Healthy Habits Bike Shop in Bettendorf is the one they have partnered with to supply bicycles. So it may be likely they would be open to the idea of renting a bike to you somehow. They can be found at http://healthyhabitsqc.com/

    Good luck and let us know what you find out so we can help out others!!

    Default appreciate the suggestions... here is reason to come to austin

    Thanks folks... I've decided to play golf the rest of my time here... but if any of you come to Austin, know that there are several places to rent mountain bikes... including Lance Armstrong's own bike shop.. Mellow Johnny's .... and if there weren't enough reasons for you to come to Austin already (food, live music, night life.... here's one for you...
