I will be in Providence in mid September. Are there any shops in the area that rent decent mountain bikes and any suggestions on where to ride?

Oh, that's weird, didn't realize I was posting as RI NEMBA. If you want to get in touch about the above give the shop a ring. 401-335-3163. Thanks, Brendan.

Hi Stuart, While we (Blackstone Bicycles) don't rent per se, we likely have a demo you could demo. We charge $30 to demo a bike for the day, and we have a Salsa Horsethief and a Transition Bandit 27.5 in med and large respectively. Also my medium Surly Krampus is always at the shop if you want to ride it/assuming it fits. If you're able to head up to Lincoln Woods on a Wed night we ride at 6:00. It's about 6/7 miles north of PVD. You can also check with Providence Bicycle and NBX. Not sure if they rent mtbs but worth a shot.
