Sweet. Renting a bike on vacation is what got my wife in to cycling with me. Later that year we rented a bike locally and rode around for a day. A week or so after that, she got her own bike, and, while she's still a fair weather biker, we take a bike outing at every opportunity. And every vacation until this year I have loaded my bike into the car, and she has rented one for the week. The car still gets a little use, but the bikes get more. This year was different because she wanted her own bike at the beach so it got to go in the car. My bike got to the beach, too, but it had to go the long way with a four day tour preceding my "real" vacation.

A vacation you have to spend in a car ain't no vacation at all.
