What to know before you rent

Before renting a bike in Mammoth lakes, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Don’t underestimate the elevation

The town of Mammoth is situated at almost 7,900ft and the top of the Mammoth Mountain Bike Park is over 11,000ft. If you’re coming from a lower elevation, especially sea level, give your body some time to acclimate and make sure you drink lots of water to stay hydrated.

e-Bikes are allowed on all trails WITHIN the bike park

Electric bikes are allowed on trails inside the bike park, but not on trails outside the bike park such as Mountain View and Mammoth Rock Trail.

E-bikes are also allowed on all the paved bike paths throughout the town.

It’s always good to get the extra insurance

Opting for the extra insurance is always a good idea, especially if you’re heading to the bike park (and always check to make sure the bike you’re renting is allowed at the bike park). Give yourself peace of mind when renting a bike in Mammoth and just go for the extra insurance.

There are lots of options outside of the bike park!

If bike park riding isn’t your thing, Mammoth still has you covered. There are miles of paved bike paths as well as quiet dirt fire roads surrounding town. An e-bike is a great way to explore both.

Footloose Sports

Footloose Sports is the best option for Mammoth Lakes bike rentals, in my opinion. They have a sweet line of full-suspension mountain bikes as well as a few townie bikes and kids bikes.

Plus, the mechanics in their full-service bike shop make sure each bike is tuned up and ready to go. The downside of Footloose is that bike rentals/demos are first come, first serve, so get there early to grab yours.
