Bike Rental in Sitka

[Deep68]

Hello, has anyone rented bikes in Sitka?

Is it something you would recommend?
If so would a manual or eBike be best?

Any recommended trails.

Appreciate any input. Thanks

There are several bike rental places in Sitka and some of them offer tours.  A WEB search will help you and you could call them to discuss your questions.

We rented bikes from Yellow Jersey Cycle Shop in 2018. Rode to the historical park, and out to the bear refuge. On the way back we stopped and took a short hike. The ride was pretty level so we didn't need e-bikes, but we ride quite a bit.

We are booked on July 6th with Klondike Electric bike in Skagway so I can let you know after next week.  We plan to ride the 18 miles round trip out to Dyea.    It looks like there is at least one big, long hill that it will be very nice to have the extra boost.  Their bikes look really nice and new.  We have done long ebikes trips in Ireland and Austria in the past few years.   You still have to pedal but makes for a very enjoyable day.  Rode in all day rain in Ireland, beautiful sunny day in Austria.  We will see what we get in Alaska.  Could end up being both, lol.   Now if I can just pass my covid test and not have my flight canceled, I am ready!!

Oops I am sorry I thought you said Skagway.  I looked into it there but decided to Kayak in Sitka and bike in Skagway.   I don't like riding on the road and thought the Dyea road would have fewer cars.    Have no experience to back that up though.
