Not to 'test' ride but if I were at a spot like sedona, moab, the Rhine, Qotopaxi and needed to rent a bike anyway I would consider it a test ride. I may even rent a bike for a day local but even then $300 is a lot to rent a bicycle. You can demo $2000 skis for $50-$80. A stripper will tie you up and spank you for $300. and I would never listen to anyone who assures me all their customers leave happy.
