The 5 Best Bike Rental Shops in Winnipeg We’d Recommend in a Heartbeat
Here’s the thing about renting bikes in Winnipeg: it’s a lot like dating apps.
You swipe (okay, pedal) through a few duds, but once you find the right match, you’re gliding along the river trails like you’re in a rom-com montage.
Except instead of flowers, you’re dodging geese—and believe me, Winnipeg geese are not here for your Hallmark moment.
Now, if you’re new to the city or just looking to trade four wheels for two, let me save you the trial-and-error. I’ve scouted out the top bike rental shops in Winnipeg, each perfect for different types of riders and adventures. Let’s go!
How much do bike rental services cost in Winnipeg?
Standard bikes are the most budget-friendly, while electric models are on the higher end. Expect to pay around $40 to $70 per day for mountain or folding bikes, while road bikes vary from $40 to $55.
Some services also offer discounts for groups, seniors, students, or low-income riders.
1. Kendrick’s Outdoor Adventures
Address: 1 Forks Market Rd
Phone: +1 431 278 1562
Business hours:
- Monday: 9 pm – 12 am
- Tuesday: 12 am – 5 pm
- Wednesday to Sunday: 9 am – 5 pm
Kendrick’s Outdoor Adventures is a year-round rental company known for its versatile collection of outdoor gear—from traditional bikes to fat-tire models, e-bikes, icycles, and even e-scooters.
Rental rates start as low as $8, though the final cost will depend on the type of ride you’re after and how long you plan to keep it.
One thing we like is how accessible they try to be. You don’t need to book days in advance, and their team is happy to walk you through the different options if you’re not sure what fits your plans or the weather.
Speaking of weather, it plays a big role in when they’re open. Their hours shift depending on conditions, and while they list a range of times (such as late nights on Mondays and early mornings throughout the weekend), you’ll want to double-check before heading over.
Our fat tire experience was top-tier
“Today, we rented fat tire bikes at Fort Whyte, what a great way to experience the trails. Our host was fantastic and very knowledgeable of the area, and gave us great directions on how to fully enjoy the bikes and the trails. They are independent of Fort Whyte and are great ambassadors for the facility. The bikes are a whole lot of fun, and they do more than just bikes. Check them out, knowledgeable and friendly, thanks so much. Support local and support Kendricks Outdoor Adventures!”

Kendrick’s made our ice adventure a breeze
“Amazing fun! Went skating on the river trail tonight and saw this ice bike and ice trike rental place conveniently located at ice level.
Rented the ice bikes for me and my 13-year-old and had an absolute blast touring down the river trail. Also rented the ice trikes, which are a whole other type of adventure.
They have the easiest way to schedule and sign the digital waivers… Simply scan the QR code on their building signage and complete the process. It took at most 3 minutes for the two of us, and we were good to go!
Thank you, Kendrick’s Outdoor Adventures, for making this evening so memorable!”

2. Pedal Pub Winnipeg
Address: 1 Portage Ave E
Phone: +1 204 995 5777
Business hours:
- Monday and Tuesday: Closed
- Wednesday and Thursday: 1:30 pm – 7 pm
- Friday to Sunday: 12 pm – 8 pm
Pedal Pub Winnipeg isn’t your typical bike rental—it’s more like a bar crawl on wheels.
Instead of riding solo, you and your crew hop onto a large, pedal-powered party machine that takes you through some of Winnipeg’s best bars, breweries, and restaurants.
Booking is simple. For groups between 8 and 15 people, you can reserve the whole contraption for a private outing or snag a single seat on a Saturday public tour. Each ride lasts about 2 hours and usually includes 3 to 4 stops at local favorites.
Just keep in mind, this isn’t the right pick if you’re looking for a quiet getaway—you’ll need a group for exclusive bookings.
Best birthday EVER!
“Alex and Julie took care of us, making sure we were having a blast through music or we got a drink into our hands on time, and the music choices were 10/10- Friends of mine are also thinking about booking the pedal pub for birthdays coming up!
Thanks again for the AWESOME NIGHT!!”

3. Bikes & Beyond
Address: 227 Henderson Hwy
Phone: +1 204 669 5590
Business hours:
- Monday to Wednesday: 10 am – 6 pm
- Thursday and Friday: 10 am – 8 pm
- Saturday: 10 am – 5 pm
- Sunday: Closed
Bikes & Beyond has been a staple here in Elmwood since 1991 (over 30 years!)—a go-to destination for all things bike-related.
Their lineup is impressively versatile, covering mountain, road, hybrid, and electric bikes, with options for everyone, be it a quick afternoon spin or a week-long adventure.
You can rent by the hour, day, or week, which we find super convenient.
They also go beyond just bikes, offering services like expert fitting, repairs, and even skate sharpening. It’s clearly a well-loved shop that goes the extra mile for both locals and visitors.
That said, during peak season, demand can spike, so if you’ve got your eye on a particular ride, it’s best to book in advance.
Smooth ride, stellar service
“I had an outstanding experience at Bikes and Beyond! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and to provide anything you need. They offered expert and great advice, understanding my needs, making the store tour smooth and enjoyable.
‘FANTABULOUS’ selection of bikes and accessories, with something for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cyclist. I also appreciated the quick and efficient service, fixing accessories to my bike from another store, ready to go in no time.
Overall, Bikes and Beyond exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for top-notch products and exceptional customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my cycling needs!💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫”

4. Woodcock Cycle Works
Address: 433 St Mary’s Rd
Phone: +1 204 253 5896
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 10 am – 7 pm
- Saturday: 10 am – 5 pm
- Sunday: Closed
Since 1987, Woodcock Cycle Works has grown into one of Winnipeg’s largest and most trusted bike shops.
Both locals and visitors rely on them for rentals, sales, and repairs, especially when they want variety. You’ll find mountain, fat-tire, carbon road, and electric options in their lineup.
What we like more is how flexible their options are—you can rent for 4 hours, a full day, the weekend, or even an entire week, so you’re not locked into one plan.
Their bikes are well-maintained and ready to go, but since demand ramps up in peak season, we recommend booking ahead to avoid missing out.
Also worth noting: a refundable damage deposit is required at pickup. It’s a standard practice, but worth budgeting for.
Couldn’t ask for better service
“Unbelievable experience. They carry the best products, the staff are all knowledgeable, and the service guys are incredible, do amazing work, and are really friendly while they do it. Couldn’t be happier.”
– Stephen Dyck, Google Review
Service this good is hard to find
“Absolutely amazing service! Super friendly staff, very knowledgeable, and you can tell they really care about what they do. The shop has a great vibe, fair prices, and they explained everything clearly. I’ll definitely be back—and recommend it to anyone looking for honest and professional bike help! Great job 👍 “

5. Plain Bicycle – Bicycle Garden
Address: 267 Sherbrook St
Phone: +1 204 306 4737
Business hours:
- Sunday to Tuesday: Closed
- Wednesday to Saturday: 12 pm – 6 pm
Plain Bicycle – Bicycle Garden brings a refreshing twist to the Winnipeg cycling scene. Specializing in Dutch-style bikes, they promote biking as a practical, everyday lifestyle.
Their fleet includes classic single-speed coasters and sturdy cargos—ideal for relaxed cruises around the city or even hauling groceries.
Rentals are available by the half-day, full day, week, or month, which works well for both tourists and locals exploring car-free living.
They also offer repairs, accessories, and guided tours. Whether you’re curious about the town’s bike infrastructure or hopping between local breweries, there’s likely a tour here for that.
That said, their selection is quite niche. If you’re after a road bike or planning to tackle rough trails, you won’t find many options here. And in warmer months, demand spikes fast, so we suggest booking early if you have specific dates in mind.
This shop sets the standard
“Top notch service both on the bicycles themselves and towards clients and potential clients within the store (particularly this last point – these people are not snobs). Anders and Jenny did great work and were a pleasure to be around.
This place is like the unicorn auto-mechanic: Good service, good prices, and they’ll tell you what to watch for on your bike, what needs fixing today, and what needs fixing tomorrow.
I will say that when you talk on the phone, you are talking to a friend of yours in the community who wants to fit you in, not the corporate front desk – that is, don’t mistake genuineness for obtuseness, and just go see them in person.
Thanks guys. See you next time.”
