We came from Chicago and every time we came to rent bikes we went to Mackinac Island Bike Shop! The employees are super knowledgeable and have the best customer service attitude. Answered all of our questions and even gave us nearby business cards for deals to get money off!How awesome!
Thank you so much definitely will be back! :)

Looking for an enjoyable bike ride along the lake shore. Recommended bike tour was over the island due to Mother Nature closing the road to high water damage. Recommended tour was NOT recreational and took 2 1/2 times as long. Probably just looking for longer rentals per my daughter. Do not bike over the island and go down the stairs as instructed by this rental. Stay along the shore and double back. Used a different bike company 2 years ago and they were wonderful!

We were assessed a 75$ fee for a broken brake line. When we brought the bike back the employee said "oh yeah, it happens all the time". If felt like we were paying for regular bike maintenance, not a situation we caused. I can recommend the bike rentals at mission point or honestly just go anywhere else. These are not nice people.

This is why I do NOT recommend!!!! My 16 year old son rented a bike from this shop and was totally taken advantage of! He was charged $75 for a “broken” hydraulic line that was not inspected until after he left the shop and was literally chased down and made return to pay for damages that he nor people with him can figure out how such damages would have occurred. When contacted, the shop owner was extremely rude and even admitted that no one gave instructions on how to use th...

This is our go-to bike shop when visiting the Island! Staff are always friendly and helpful from explaining how the rental works to fitting you for your bike.
Bikes are awesome and have a comfy bike seat, which you need when biking Mackinac! They provide a basket on the front of the bike which is perfect to hold your bags and items. A water bottle is given with each bike which is also a nice touch. A map of the Island is also free with bike rental.
The bikes were great for biking the Island, especially if you decide to go up into the Island because you will need those gears!
Lots of options

Enjoyed the bike rental exprience from here -- they have a smooth running operation and do a pretty good job of getting you in and out efficiently. The bicycle was in great shape and got a bottle of water and a map with the rental, which was appreciated. You get charged either on a half-day rate or a per hour rate, and you get charged after you drop it off.
If you're looking for a decent bike for a good price, I definitely recommend this bike shop. Going around the island took a few hours with some breaks in between. It's a fun ride! DIdn't go inland to checkout the various hilly

The rental process was super smooth, no wait for pick up or drop off. They fit us well to the bikes.
So, Mackinac island is HILLY. Like no joke hills.
The perimeter of the island is a flat, easy ride. If you go inland at all-HILLS. All hills. (Not really about the bike shop, but word to the wise)
Also, keep a close eye on the time.

First of all, I asked for an upright bike and I did not get one. Secondly, I asked lots of questions about pricing ( I had even called ahead and asked and wrote down notes about it). I asked what a maximum daily charge would be and was told one thing and when we returned, it was a whole different story! By the same person! (A woman in a pink hat). I don't like playing bait and switch.
I saw another review where the same thing happened. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
PS. After I talked to the manager, all he could do was get defensive and say I must have been confused. If we had known how it really worked

The bikes worked great and the pricing was good. They give you a water bottle and a map of the island which came in handy! My friend did not have a problem with the seat but mine was definitely very uncomfortable. The shop is right there when you get off the ferry and they are very quick to get you all set up. Despite the crowds they work quickly and efficiently while being polite and attentive the entire time.

After spending money at his bike establishments on occasions, my family and I stopped to get a picture of the map that outlined the 8.2 mile loop around the island.
Owner, Ira Green was extremely rude, started making faces and told us to "get out of here". I explained I was merely taking a picture and he proceeded to say things like "Go on, Git!" (I felt he thought he was a plantation owner speaking to a "servant").
I will never give him any future business. I recommend you not to use his business (by the way he is affiliated with other Mackinac Island bike

Good experience here. Shop is located right off the ferry dock. What is very confusing is that the side facing the dock is actually the bike return side. You have to go around to actually go the rental side. Prices seemed fair as it gave you a basket, an optional helmet, a map, and a bottle of water, and overnight lock. Not sure if there are cheaper prices on the island. If so, worth the inflated prices here as it is right off the boat and they include a lot of stuff. Staff got through the customers quickly yet made sure the seat heights were correct and gears worked. As you can't have a

Rented some bikes and trikes here on a recent visit to Mackinac Island. The bikes were clean, well maintained, and were fairly new Treks. We had a great time on the bikes. A couple of party members opted for the trikes. Both rental trike riders ended up having seat issues. The seats weren't tight enough and ended up tilting back for both riders. Those of us on the Trek bikes had no issues. Might be worth making sure the trike seats are extra tight before venturing out. Otherwise, a really fun experience.

You don't think about it at first, but a free bottle of water goes a long way! My friend and I rented bikes for a few hours, easy pick up and easy return! The bikes were super nice and we got free water so after mile 6 riding around, i was sooo happy for the free water! Also!!!!! They're a little down from the ferry entry so they're less crowded!

My wife and I come to the island every year and have rented from Mackinac Island Bike Shop for quite a few years. Disappointed this year with this business. If you are renting a bike for longer than an hour/day--make sure COMPLETE details are written down. At the time, we felt we had this--specifically asked questions to confirm bike return time and that the price / return time would be for keeping the bike for 3 days. When we returned the bikes, we were charged for another half day of rental.
When questioning them about the original agreement-they insisted we had them for an extra half day.

We had been given a coupon for a discounted bike rental when buying our tickets for Shepler's Ferry. FYI the coupon is only good for a discount on the second hour of bike rental.
I felt that we had a very good experience- the staff that greeted us and helped us were very polite and professional. Everything was explained to our satisfaction before we selected a bike and took off on our adventure.
We selected a tandem and had never ridden a tandem together before; in spite of that, just a few easy seat adjustments and we were on our way. It was a blast riding the tandem bike together and
