My husband and I rented bikes and helmets from Planet Bike to try out the sport. The equipment was in great shape and the route they recommended was perfect for us. There was a combination of simple dirt roads and more challenging rides on trails through some beautiful woods. We felt like we were challenged but not overwhelmed which was... More

These guys are the best! Friendly, helpful, and an easy pleasure to do business with. They gave great trail recommendations so that both my wife (a newb rider) and I had a blast. Bikes were well set-up and the forest is right by the shop.

The "Ball & Chain" winds it's way back along side a stream thick with palms and ferns, and although it caters to the entry level rider, there are also lots of challenges for advanced... More

Oh and coffee is an added bonus..you... More

We recently went mountain biking with Planet Bikes (Christmas eve). Service was great, very laid back relaxed atmosphere, owners have a little coffee van and make one for you which was a nice touch. On our return we were also served a lovely morning tea. Our guide was Paul and he did a great job at finding perfect trails for... More
