Bayfront Beach and Bike

"We rented bikes for a nice ride around the Elk Rapids area, and we're so lucky to have found this place. The rental bikes and helmets were top notch- in wonderful condition. The owner Sean went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience. He even gave us good sight seeing advice. We enjoyed the Art Park on South Bayshore immensely. If you want to rent a bike to enjoy the sights, come here."

"Outstanding Customer Service. I happened to be in town for the Iceman 2023 race and staying in Elk Rapids and this bike shop saved my race! I was out for a casual ride the day before the race when I noticed my thumb-shifter was loose. I stopped to tighten it with my multitool but the bolt just kept spinning - the mount was stripped! There was no way I could get a replacement part for SRAM's matchmaker shifter mount in less than 24 hours.My race was over. Until...I remembered there was a little bike shop down the street from where I was staying. Could this little "tourist bike shop" I thought, help me out!. Answer: Yes.! Carl met me at the door, helped me bring my bike in, diagnosed the problem, said he would fix it on the spot, tapped my matchmaker mount, cut a new bolt to fit and sent me on my way without accepting any payment! THIS SHOP IS ALL ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE ENJOY RIDING BIKES. Please say hi to Carl and mention this post when you stop in. He's an angel who saved the day."

"Bayfront Beach and Bike is a great asset to Elk Rapids. Shawn and his crew have put us on E-Bikes and their rentals (bikes, kayaks and SUP's) have worked out well when we have guest in town. The equipment is in great condition and the customer service is excellent. Thanks for making our outings simple, easy and fun!"

"Rented 2 E-bikes for 4 hours and rode up the leelanau trail and back. E-bikes have several settings on how much power you want in your pedalling. One of our bikes had a saddlebag! So I didn't have to sweat into my backpack the whole time. If you don't ride often, your butt will get sore. Still very worth it."

"I was in the market for a new E-bike. I like the brand Gazelle, because if it’s reliability, safety, warranty, and features. I was fortunate to find the shop that sells this brand. When I was making the purchase they were very informative. I also purchased a very nice bike rack from this place and I absolutely love it. What can I say, the bike is absolutely amazing; very steady, smooth, and comfortable! When I left the shop, I felt very comfortable and knowledgeable after they have explained everything to me. This made the purchase so much more enjoyable I highly recommend this place to purchase a new bicycle!"
