Fat Bike Rental
Biking the Preserve’s 5km loop has long been a mode of transporation for visitors who bring their own bike – ask two of our long-term members who come nearly everyday, rain, snow or shine to bike the Preserve. Now those who don’t have a bike can rent a lightweight, stable and rather Northern mode of adventure, any day of the year.
Rentals are first come, first serve. Reservations are not available at this time. Inventory is limited.
The Preserve’s fleet of fat bikes includes 11 bikes from sizes small to extra large. These sizes suit riders heights from 5’1” to upwards of 6’4”. Check in at the Front Reception and ask about our rental programs.
