My son and I are going to be in Eugene this week looking at the U of O. We can't take bikes in the vehicle we're driving, so are interested in renting bikes for a look around the campus + some of the local bike paths. Not looking for a serious workout, but would like to rent something that isn't typical "rental shop" junk.

Any suggestions of where we should go?

Thanks

Paul's Bicycle Way of Life has rental bikes, call them to see what's available. Most of the rentals are at the 5th Street store 541-344-4105. Other than that I'm not sure who may have rental bikes.

I'd be happy to take you on a tour around town. The River trail system is near the U of O and offers 22 miles along the Willamette River. The Fern Ridge Bike Path starts at the end of 15th Street (at the fair grounds) and goes west to the West Eugene Wetlands area.

Thanks for the tips, and the offer. I had seen Paul's on the web, but your recommendation helps me narrow the search.

As for the ride -- our schedule is still in flux. Guess it will depend on whether, too. I'm also going to try to get my son to agree to "letting" me take a quick tour of the Bike Friday factory while we're in town, too.
