Embark on an unforgettable cycling experience in Yosemite Valley with our premium bike rentals. We offer regular bikes in all sizes, which are ideal for riding on dirt roads, double-track trails, and pavement. Our full-suspension mountain bikes are perfect for riding our world-class single-track mountain bike trails. Unlike renting bikes inside of Yosemite Valley, our bikes rent on a 24-hour basis. You don't have to return the bike the same day. If you do not have a bike rack for your car, you can rent one that will work on virtually every vehicle.
Riding the Yosemite Valley Loop Trail on a rental bike from Pedal Forward Bikes & Adventure is an experience that combines the freedom of cycling with the awe-inspiring beauty of one of the world's most iconic national parks.
The Start: Pedal Forward Bikes & Adventure
Picking up your bike from Pedal Forward, a shop recognised as the best in Central California, is like stepping into a hub of adventure. The staff at Pedal Forward is friendly and knowledgeable. They will outfit you with a well-maintained bike that suits the terrain and comfort. Whether you're an experienced cyclist or a casual rider, they'll ensure you're ready for the journey ahead and give you all the tips you need to make the most of your ride.
Setting Off on the Loop
Once you hit the trail, the adventure begins in earnest. The Yosemite Valley Loop Trail is a relatively easy ride, mostly flat, which makes it perfect for enjoying the views without overexertion. The trail is wide and well-maintained, winding through lush meadows alongside the Merced River and offering stunning views of towering granite cliffs.
As you pedal along, you're surrounded by the grandeur of Yosemite's natural beauty. You might find yourself stopping frequently to soak in the breathtaking vistas, with Half Dome looming in the distance or the iconic granite walls of El Capitan appearing in full majesty. The way the light changes throughout the day—casting long shadows and creating shimmering reflections in the river—makes each moment feel like a snapshot of a perfect memory.
