About City Bike Shop
City Bike Shop is Traverse City's locally owned bicycle retailer and rental provider, serving the cycling community from their shop on East Eighth Street. Established as a hub for road cyclists, mountain bikers, and casual riders alike, the shop stocks a curated selection of bikes, components, and accessories from top brands. Their rental fleet is popular with visitors looking to explore the TART Trail, Leelanau Trail, and the many scenic road routes that wind through the Grand Traverse region.
Rental options include road bikes, hybrid comfort bikes, and mountain bikes available by the half-day, full day, or week. Each rental comes with a helmet, lock, and area trail map. The shop's experienced mechanics also provide full-service tune-ups, repairs, and custom bike fitting — a valuable resource for touring cyclists passing through or locals preparing for the season. Kids' bikes and child trailers are available for families looking to ride together on the paved trail network.
City Bike Shop has built a loyal following through expert knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for cycling in Northern Michigan. The staff can recommend routes for every ability, from flat, easy spins along the bay to challenging gravel loops through the hills of Leelanau County. Their central location on Eighth Street puts riders within a few blocks of the TART Trail's main corridor, making it the ideal starting point for a day of pedaling in Traverse City.
