All About Our Rentals

Thinking about renting a bike from Wheelhouse? We do our best to make it super easy. Our staff will help you select the right bike for where and how you want to ride, and we’ll make sure you’re comfy.

We adjust the saddle height and make sure that you’re comfortable with the brakes and gears before you take off. A lock and helmets are provided at no additional charge. (Helmets are optional for adults, but anyone under the age of 18 is required to wear one.)

We offer bikes and accessories for the entire family. For the kiddos, there’s a child seat (which can hold up to 35lb), trailers (which can accomodate 1 or 2 children weighing up to 100lb), and a tag-along, which is great for kids in the 4 to 6 age range still learning to balance on two wheels. We also have an assortment of BMX bikes for kids that are riding on their own.

For adults, we have simple cruisers, appropriate for a chill ride along the Riverfront, and comfort hybrids and deluxe cruisers for more ambitious riders. For those really wanting to put on some miles, we have the option of sport hybrids. We also have an adult trike a a few tandems!

To rent a bike, we require either to hold onto an ID or a credit card deposit as well as a signed waiver for each rider. If you’re planning on bringing out some kids that you aren’t the parent or guardian of, you’ll need to get our waiver filled out and signed in advance of your visit.

You can reserve online to streamline your process. Well not required — we always have some bikes on hand — we do recommend it if you want a child accessory (seat, trailer, tagalong) or trike or tandem, especially on a summer weekend.

Locals Special! Weekdays (Monday through Thursday), 2-hour cruiser rentals are 25% off. Valid ID required. Residents of Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park are eligible.
