On a bright morning in Holland, Michigan, the Cannondale Topstone 2 feels like a bridge between city streets and the wild Lake Michigan shoreline. Available from the shop at 326 S. River Ave Holland, MI 49423, this Road/Gravel Bike - Large is built for mixed terrain: a lightweight aluminum frame, carbon fork, and forgiving geometry that smooths chatter on pavement and packed gravel. Fit for riders 5'10"–6'4", the Topstone 2 turns commute or weekend escape into a single, capable machine. Ride options radiate from Holland like spokes. Cruise the riverfront and the Macatawa Trail, push onto farm lanes that shift to packed crushed-limestone and sand, or pedal out toward the lakeshore dunes of Holland State Park and the sweeping beaches of Lake Michigan. The area’s glacially sculpted dunes and beach grasses create a distinctive coastal landscape; look for black oak and beach plum on sandy ridges and flocks of shorebirds along the shoreline. Local culture threads through the ride — Windmill Island, red lighthouses, and Tulip Time history give each outing a sense of place. This rental stands out because it’s purpose-built for the region’s mix of pavement, gravel township roads, and soft-sand approaches. The carbon fork and modern geometry reduce rider fatigue on longer loop rides, while clearance for wider tires gives you traction on mixed surfaces. For cyclists who want utility — hauling a small pack, commuting, or day-riding across farms and shoreline paths — the Topstone 2 blends comfort with capable handling. Plan routes based on surface and wind. Spring and fall bring cool breezes off Lake Michigan; summer can produce headwinds across exposed dunes. Aim for loops that finish back at 326 S. River Ave, where the shop can assist with basic adjustments. Rental bookings come via the provided referral link, and the shop’s local knowledge helps craft routes that match your comfort level. Why ride here? Holland’s compact town center gives quick access to rural gravel, protected bike paths, and a coastline shaped by glacial deposits — a rare combo that rewards both speed and exploration. For riders seeking a day that moves from café stop to creek crossing to lake view, the Road/Gravel Bike - Large offers a versatile, confidence-inspiring platform. Whether you’re commuting, training, or chasing new loops, this bike makes Holland’s diverse terrain feel like an invitation rather than a barrier. Velo-citycycles keeps its fleet maintained and sized by experienced mechanics; bring a helmet and basic tools if you plan a longer route, and ask at pick-up about suggested tire pressures for sandy approaches and loose limestone. Evening rides along the river catch the town lights reflected on the water, while morning departures give you miles of near-empty roads before traffic picks up.
