Ordering Information

When ordering optional items - Bicycle Trailer, Bicycle Tag-A-Long, Bicycle Baby Seat, Additional Day(s) - please enter the number of ITEMS multiplied by the number of DAYS you wish to order. For example, if your order is for 2 bicycles and you want them both for three days, the "Additional Days" needs to be ordered as "4" since there are 2 bicycles multiplied by 2 additional days. Similarly, if you plan a 2-day rental and have two small children who you wish to ride in two separate bicycle trailers...one on the back of each of two adult bikes...you would enter "2" for the number of Additional Days since there are two bicycles by 1 additional day each...and you would order "4" for the Bicycle Trailers since there are two trailers multiplied by 2 days.
