About Flume Trail Bikes
Flume Trail Bikes is the premier mountain bike rental and shuttle operation on Lake Tahoe's East Shore, located at the trailhead of the legendary Flume Trail — widely regarded as one of the top ten mountain bike rides in the United States. Nestled behind the Tunnel Creek Café on Tunnel Creek Road in Incline Village, the shop serves as the starting point for riders tackling the trail's 14-mile route along a historic flume path high above the lake, with jaw-dropping views of Tahoe's cobalt waters and the Sierra Nevada crest.
Their rental fleet includes full-suspension mountain bikes and pedal-assist e-bikes, all meticulously maintained and sized to fit each rider. The team runs a dedicated shuttle service that ferries riders and bikes to the upper trailhead, eliminating the steep climb and letting you focus on the scenic, rolling singletrack that makes the Flume Trail famous. For riders who prefer a self-guided experience, the staff provides detailed trail maps and conditions updates. E-bike rentals have opened the trail to a wider range of fitness levels, making this bucket-list ride accessible to more visitors than ever.
Beyond the Flume Trail itself, the shop can recommend connecting routes through Marlette Lake, Spooner Summit, and the Tahoe Rim Trail for riders looking to extend their adventure. The on-site café provides a convenient refuelling stop before or after your ride. With its unbeatable trailhead location and laser focus on mountain biking, Flume Trail Bikes is the definitive starting point for anyone looking to ride Tahoe's most iconic singletrack.
