Woohoo! You’re planning to ride in Northwest Arkansas and have booked your bike rental with Encore Bike Rentals.
The Encore team has put together this guide so you have everything you need to prepare for your bike rental. We hope you’re excited to get ready to ride!
Before Your Rental:
Check the weather and plan your clothing setup accordingly.
We recommend layering clothes for colder months.
Pack your personal helmet or other gear you’d like to use.
We provide helmets for free if needed. We offer a protective gear pack you can rent that includes gloves, knee pads and elbow pads (highly recommended for the mountain bike trails). Let us know if you’d like to add a protective gear pack to your rental.
Plan your water consumption and storage, especially in the heat of summer.
Our bikes have 1 bottle holder but we do not provide bottles for sanitation reasons. We recommend hydration pack or bladders on longer rides, especially during summer.
Charge your phones, Go Pros, and other electronics you’d like to bring with you.
We highly recommend carrying a cell phone for safety, most areas have cell service.
Review your email confirmation with your reservation details.
Drop us a line if your preferred drop-off time or location changes.
Complete a waiver for each member of your party, including minors.
This will save time during delivery and help you get out on the trails faster.
