Picking up your bike is easy. Click on the above link, read the instructions that will tell you how to get to our warehouse/storage facility on The Tucson Loop bike trail located at 4555 N. First Avenue. Ignore the parking instructions IF you are not going to be biking from our Loop location. You can drive in, pickup your bike at our locker facility.
 
El Tour clients can pick up bikes 6 AM to 8:30 PM each day OR you can pick up the day before if you like. Just let me know.

 

Procedure:

 

Text me your photo ID to:  520-260-8293

OR you may use our secure server upload at tucsonbicyclerentals.com/upload

 

We then provide you with entry code to the storage locker facility and combination to the unit. Your bike will be located with your name on it, with a full saddle repair kit and self service helmet selection. MAKE SURE to take the bike with your name on it! We HIGHLY recommend you bring your own helmet.

 

After you send over your photo ID, I will be texting your your locker information including an explainer video or link to guide you in and out of the storage facility. We are going to be sending out the information probably a day before because of our central storage construction situation.

 

When texting me state your complete name on the reservation. (If you are Canadian, please WhatsAPP us or download a free app for free texting so you do not incur charges),
