Okay, what ever happened to Blake and Simon, who knows? But, they are wrong. First, we checked prices all over from Naples to Walmart. Their prices are competitive on the high side but they have very good equipment and they are local businessmen, will do the tune ups for free and take lots of time sizing up your purchase to make sure its all right up to snuff. If you rent...get real, you are renter and if you have an attitude, you are entitled to get the same attitude in return ...so grow up Sponge Bob. You want something cheaper in Naples? -- Heres a news flash, go there, get it and spend the time in the traffic and get off the island, nut bird. Think!..this IS an island, you pay a little more, you get much more and its a nice place to live, work and play. Discounts? ask nicely and some can be had...But dont whine. Discounts on rentals-forget it about it. Most people mistreat rental equipment and it costs a lot to maintain rentals. As to the Scooters-- they are all brand new and never wrecked--I checked them out and interviewed the shop drones. Look, I spent quite a bit of money at this shop and the reasons are because these are nice and deserving people. Another flash Homer ... about 6 other couples were spending about the same on new equipment. We darn near had to compete for the bikes we wanted! Now if this is a schlock shop set up per Bla(n)ke-head and Whiney Simon ...why are they getting virtually all the business for about 25 miles? You want cheaper, go to WalMart (e.g. China West). I watched Island Bike repair a brand new Walmart cruiser that was brought in for repair. It was just new paint on plain crap...the rear axle broke in the first mile. Nuf said. Go there and be nice and have fun! BTW...the family that owns this shop has been there for three generations. Buy American and Support Americans !

We just returned from a vacation on Marco Island and one of the best things we did was rent bikes from the Island Bike Shop. The bikes were delivered FREE to the hotel where we were staying, and the cost of renting the bikes for three days was VERY reasonable. They even supplied baskets and a lock (our choice of combination). We locked them at the hotel when we werent using them and at the end of the week, we headed for the airport and they picked their bikes up. Couldnt be more convenient. The bikes were single speed with coaster brakes. I am 63" and the seat post was plenty long enough to accommodate my long legs. The bikes were not fancy, but they worked well. The island is very flat, so its not like you are climbing a lot of hills and need 21 speeds. We rode at least 10 miles a day and would agree this was about the best money we spent on our week there (by contrast, the rental car never moved from its parking spot all week!) There is another bike rental place on the island, but they charge to deliver the bikes. They do have an option for multi-speed bikes, but again we felt the single speeds were fine given the flatness.

Poor - Fair is too kind of a description. Do yourself a favor and take the extra 1/2 hour to go to Naples if you want to buy or even rent a bike. The guy behind the counter (probably the owner or else this loser probably would have been fired long ago) was a total jerk-off. Unprofessional, poor selection, and over-priced. I am willing to bet money that the one Excellent rating was probably written by this creep. We finally ended up at Bike Route in Naples and had soooo much better experience. I have heard that Big Mamas bikes is also a good place to go.

Brought my own bike down for the month of February. My chain broke & I asked a local what shop hed recommend, as he was an avid bicycler. Without hesitation, he said Island Bike Shop. I stopped in, gave them my bike & Chris, the repair attendant asked if I needed it today, which he would be happy to do. I said no, just call when finished. Next day bike was done, reasonable & very happy with the service. They rent bicycles too for vacationers.

We wanted to rent scooters at their place, when we figured out, that a similar place in Naples would cost 35 Dollars less. After asking the owner in the store about a discount (additionally it was rainig this particular day and we were a group of 7), we were told to leave the store and go to a different place. Do some research and stay away from this place, there are far better places on Marco Island or Naples (google it!)

Rented a tandem bike. Not much too it, but everything worked. Filled out the paper work, paid with my credit card, and off we went. Had a good tour of the island, the wife liked it. Returned the bike and went on our way.

We went on the Island Bike Tour and had a very good experience. The bikes are cruisers and very comfortable to ride. We had a group of 4 and the owner at the shop set up our rides perfectly.

I rented a bike from the Island Bike Shop and it suited me perfectly. It had no seat, and no handlebars. Perfect for someone whos lost his ass, and doesnt know which way to turn. Thank you.

Dont here. Scooters are junk. Owner is unfriendly. Prices inflated. Get a taxi before giving $ to this place. We had a bad experience.
