Rent the Bicycle is a San Juan–based bike rental and tour operator offering guided rides and flexible rental options in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The company operates the Old San Juan Bicycle Tour, a 1.5-hour guided ride that navigates historic cobblestone streets and highlights landmarks such as the Capitol Marble Building, San Felipe del Morro fortifications, and Plaza de Armas. In addition to the guided tour, Rent the Bicycle provides three clearly defined rental durations: 1 hour, 3 hours, and full day rentals using single-speed beach cruiser bikes.
Bikes are available in adjustable frame sizes and are equipped with helmets; optional child seats are offered for families. Rental bikes use pedal-back brakes for straightforward control, and the full day rental specifically notes both hand and pedal brakes for added control. Each rental is fitted to the rider’s height to enhance comfort and safety.
Booking information, pickup location details, and availability are provided directly by the business at its San Juan location. Reservations and availability are handled directly by the business at its San Juan location or through official online booking channels and phone.
