Then there is cycling, here is what Mark says:
- Wine Country Bikes specializes bike rentals and bike tours. They have both hybrids and road bike (aluminum & carbon fiber). They are located in Healdsburg but they also have a small outlet in Guerneville. Their Guerneville location is at Pee Wee Golf. They don’t have road bikes at the Guerneville location but with enough advanced notice they can arrange to get one.

- West County Revolution is good bike shop in Sebastopol that also rents bike. They don’t have as many bikes for rent as Wine Country Bike but they do have good bikes and they are located right on the bike trail! And they are good folks!
