No Bike? No Problem: Bike Rental for Ride Weekend
By The Pelotonia Team|June 02, 2025
Unlimited Biking is offering Pelotonia Riders convenient bike rentals for Ride Weekend on August 2-3, 2025.
Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a first-time Rider, one thing is essential: a reliable bike. But if you don’t own one, that shouldn’t stop you from participating in Ride Weekend!
Pelotonia’s new collaboration with Unlimited Biking offers Ride Weekend Riders simple, convenient, and stress-free bike rentals.
You can reserve your bike rental here on the Unlimited Biking for Pelotonia website.
Easy Bike Rentals for Every Rider
Unlimited Biking offers high-quality rental bikes, so anyone can ride. Rentals start as low as $59, with five bike styles to choose from, all professionally maintained and ready to go.
Every bike rental comes with:
- Free Cannondale helmet (Pelotonia requires helmets for all Riders)
- Standard flat pedals installed (or bring your own if preferred, and those can be installed, too)
- Seat adjustments for a custom, comfortable fit
Pick Up
You will need to pick up your bike rental at Opening Ceremony on Friday, August 1, at the Unlimited Biking tent inside the bike corral. Check in, claim your bike, and attach bike tags that you will receive as a part of your Rider credential packet.
- Starting at McFerson Commons? Store your bike overnight in a secure corral.
- Starting at New Albany Schools? You’ll need to transport your rental from Opening Ceremony.
- Riding 153 or 190 miles? Unlimited Biking will safely store your bike overnight at Kenyon College in the bike corral inside the Lowry Center for Sunday pickup.
Returning Your Bike
All finish venues will have a bike transport available back to McFerson Commons. Once you have finished your route for the weekend, you are responsible for handing off your bike to Volunteers at bike trucks and having it sent back to McFerson Commons, where all bike rentals will be picked up by Unlimited Biking. Be sure to tell the Volunteers that your bike should be going to McFerson Commons.
