Sanibel Island is small enough, and conducive to, riding bicycles. It's very similar to Martha's Vineyard in that a car can almost be inconvenient.

That said, Billy's doesn't seem to take advantage of their customer, in spite of this fact. Their prices, compared to other bicycle rentals I've used, were very reasonable. I rented a hybrid bike for a week for $70 plus tax. The bike itself was in fantastic condition and probably only a few days old. Some of the stock there had a little bit of rust, but this is quite understandable with the marine air.

My husband's family vacationed in Sanibel Island, FL in early July 2008. There is a bike trail that wraps around the island and there are several places to rent bikes. We chose Billy's Rentals. We called several places and found this to be the most reasonable. They had a 2 hour minimum and we paid $5 per bike for a single speed and a time of 2 hours. I believe it was $7 for a multi-speed bike and of course the price increases the more hours you rent. They also had bike trailers for small children available for an additional $7.
We had a lot of fun riding around town. The single speed bikes had pedal brakes as opposed to hand brakes which took a little getting used to as I hadn't had pedal breaks since I first learned to ride a bike! Our bikes had baskets attached to them which was nice and I would highly recommend taking water to stay hydrated through the ride. My niece rode in a trailer and absolutely loved it! I thought it was a fun family event!

My family and I took a week vacation to Sanible Island as we do every year. As a Hotel Manager myself I know the importance of GREAT SERVICE. I know how it can make or break you. I was so pleased with the personal attention that my family and I received from the staff of Billy's Rentals. We had bikes, took the segway tour and even had umbrellas set up on the beach during our stay. We were so pleased with the personal touch from Billy's Rentals we would never think of looking anywhere else for our beach needs during our next vacation. Great Job to Billy and his staff for being able to take care of all of our beach needs.

We recently returned from our wonderful vacation at Sanibel Island. Billy's Bike Rentals and Segways helped make our trip one to remember forever. The personal attention that Billy and his staff provided was outstanding. From the time we arrived on the island until we had to go home, the service was nothing short of perfect. The personal attention of delivering and picking up bikes to our condo was something we were not used to. And when we needed beach equipment, the same service was provided. My family has traveled all over the U.S. and Europe and never received such personal attention from a company. With the great hospitality we were shown, we decided to take a Segway tour from Billy’s Bike Sales and Segways.

Now this was an experience that will be with us forever. Trying something new like a Segway was the last thing I expected to do on vacation. But the opportunity was there, so we jumped on it. After a short lesson from Billy, we were off on our tour. Due to the limited access of Segways allowed on Sanibel Island, we set off on the bike paths. Getting used to the unconventional movement of the Segway didn’t take long to overcome though. This was a much better way to see the Island instead of taking our car. We were able to not only ride a Segway, but were able to see and learn much about the island. Billy made sure we enjoyed our tour to the maximum extent possible. We will definitely be planning another trip back to Sanibel Island and thanks to Billy and his wonderful staff, we will be calling on them again!

There is no better way to get around Sanibel Island than on bicycle, especially mid season, when the line of cars on Perwinkle Way trying to get on and off the island can be backed up for miles.

Billy Rentals provided me and my family excellent service, and the bikes themselves were great, especially for being in the tropics where nothing metal seems to last. The bikes served our purposes well. We even got a chariot trailer for our daughter. She loved the shade it provided and often slept through our cycling adventures. The next day we went back to rent the scooters, and that was also a blast. We were able to cruise all the way around the island and up to Captiva in just an hour or so.The Island is covered with bike paths, and there are few places you can't get to by bike. You can even have your bikes delivered to your hotel or condo, so they are there when you arrive. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with Billy's Rentals and would highly recommend them to any visitor to Sanibel.

Just so you know--we were pleased with courtesy/service/competence shown to us by your guy Valdy.
He quickly put both our bikes in perfect ready-to-go condition. Thank you and Valdy for being on Sanibel.
