Seattle, WA bike rental/borrow?
I'm going to be visiting a friend in Seattle from Aug 18-23. We both commute primarily by bike, and as such would love to ride trails/around in general when I'm out there. Unfortunately, it sounds like it will be an expensive pain in the ass to take my bike with. Anyone know of any reasonably priced shops that do a rental/borrow program since Seattle isn't cool enough to rock Nice Ride like Minneapolis =P ?
Edit: Realized maybe I should post this in regional, but SS/FG is the only board I've ever actually posted to. If a mod so desires feel free to move.

recycled cycles and gregg's cycles both do bike rentals. i think recycled will put you on a bike for around 30 a day, but i'm not really sure.

Montlake bike shop.
Veloce Velo in Issaquah if you're looking for a high end road bike.
FYI, I didn't think Gregg's rents bikes -- maybe at their Green Lake store (which is next to a park)?

i could be wrong. the greenlake one is the one i go to, and i've seen people ride out on their bikes without buying them but maybe it's just a test ride type of deal.
montlake is great! they have much nicer rentals than recycled. i forgot about them.

I'm looking for cheap more than "nice" for whatever thats worth. I'll see about googleing both, though. My friend just got into the scene so I don't think she would know individual shops all that well.
