We will be in Highlands Ranch, CO third week of September. I'd like to rent a couple Dual Sport/Hybrid, or not too aggressive mountain bikes for the week, maybe as few as three days.

Here is where I've checked:
I checked with the closest shop: The BikeSource on County Line in Highlands Ranch. They were very nice. I've been in their store and am impressed. But they just aren't in the market to rent someone a bike to go to other local areas like Breckinridge.

Littleton Cyclery was mentioned: Rude people there. Did get the idea that they weren't interested and didn't have the bikes anyway.

So, where can we get bikes that is not too far from Highlands Ranch?

Didn't find anything by the Treads name when I Googled. It went to "DestinationsCyclery" which looked more like a travel agency than anything else.

Did I get the wrong thing?

Don't know what happened the first time. Same search terms but different site produced. Came up just fine for me this morning. Thanks.

The Treads web site looks good. I'm checking them out.

My family plans on biking in the Highlands Ranch area and maybe even getting up to Breckinridge for a day or so.

One response from a multi-million person community seems pretty small. Any other suggestions on bike shops?
