 To simplify matters we now have all bikes for
$3 a day, some are better than others but all are useable for the primary
purpose of getting around. About 20 bikes, are our "clunkers", older well
maintained bikes, with good tires and in good running order, $75 cash or
credit card deposit is required for all bikes.
Some are Cruiser style with a coaster (back-pedal) brake, some have
gears but are not suitable for, nor allowed on longer trips.
We have a Trek "Rock Shox" and a "Specialized" mountain bike as
well as couple of Cruisers with gears, all for $3 a day rent. We even
have a couple of kids bikes.
All come with a good durable chain lock. None of our bikes are
equipped for, nor allowed to be used, after dark.
 All bikes must be returned to their rack daily before dark
and be available for general use the next day unless you pay in advance to hold
a specific bike.
As with all such rentals, it is your total responsibility to check out
the bike thoroughly before using it, we accept no liability whatever for any
accident or injury due to use of these bikes. We often have no opportunity to
check them out between rentals. A $75 cash or credit card deposit will be "held"
against return of the bike in good condition. Damages, bent wheels and other
broken parts will be deducted from your deposit, up to the full amount. This is
standard in all such "high risk" rentals. You are also responsible to return bikes
to our Lodge, we have no ability to send vehicles to pick you up for punctures or damages.
 Due to modern concepts of personal hygiene we have a small
collection of helmets, but Hawaii law does not require them so it is at your
discretion. Wal-Mart has inexpensive safety equipment.
