I rented a Trail Bike to ride the KVR from Penticton to Chute Lake. A roundtrip of approximately 78 km's. The staff who rented the bike to me knew where I was going and provided a route map. However, what he did not disclose was that almost half the distance was on a very rough road strewn with jagged rocks and covered in a layer of fine sandy gravel, which made riding uphill very difficult without proper tire traction. The tires on my bike were wide but had virtually no tread from over usage. When I returned the bike, I discussed the issue with another staff. He agreed that their trail bikes were not designed for my route. Instead they were designed for easier rides on a well groomed path no farther than the first 20 km's up the KVR trail. This is were the first tunnel is located, and where most cyclist turn around. I am giving this company a generous 2 stars because they provided me with a complimentary lock, helmet and a bottle holder. If you are planning a ride similar to mine, I recommend shopping around for a proper mountain bike with decent tires. If you are planning an urban ride or to visit some wineries in Naramata, this Trail Bike should be ok. If you get a flat, a repair kit is provided and you will need to know how to change a tire. One last tip, the rental shop only takes cash. There is an ATM available, but you will be dinged a surcharge for using it, so bring cash with you. Riding this area is a lot of fun, please make sure you are armed with the proper bike rented from knowledgeable staff.

Great experience! Good prices. Had fun taking Quad and Double Pedal cars out for a spin! Had to stick to Lakeshore Dr with pedal cars, but still was enjoyable way to check out the lakefront!
So glad we stopped here to rent a pedal bike! My friend and I had so much fun during the hour we had it. It feels wonderful to ride along the water and enjoy the sunshine and breeze. Wonderful way to enjoy the view and have a laugh!
Great service! Very helpful, took the time to explain the differences between the different styles and we were able to try out each one to see which suited best. No problems with the bikes on our ride up the Naramata bench. Highly recommend!
Very pleasant and easy experience.
