Summer is right around the corner, and what better way to take advantage of the nicer weather than by spending more time outdoors? One of the best ways to increase your time outside this summer is to dust off the old bicycle and take a ride. And if you don't have a bicycle? No worries, as there are plenty of shops throughout town where you can rent or buy one. Maybe you don't usually ride, but you and your partner want to take a leisurely jaunt through the city? Whatever your reason may be, there are more than enough places in the Mile High City where you can rent a bicycle. Here are five of the best bike rental shops around Denver.
Bicycle Doctor

Denver, CO 80203

www.bicycledr.comThe Bicycle Doctor is the place to go for any and everything related to cycling. They offer sales, tune-ups and, of course, rentals. They have five different kinds of bikes for rent, ranging from your average cruiser to something more suitable for a mountain ride. If you and another person want to give tandem riding a try, they offer those, too. Prices start around $15 for a half day, and vary by whichever style you decide to ride.

Also, Cycleton offers a program where you can apply your rental fees to the purchase of a new bike, as long as you buy within six months of the rental, and the cycle costs more than $2000. This is a great option for anyone looking to take mountain biking up as a hobby, and can considerably reduce the cost of a new bike while giving you time to test it out. For those who are just looking to rent, they have four different styles to choose from, and prices start at $25 for a half-day.
