Trailside Rentals is an overnight guest house business in Madrid, Iowa, only one block from the High Trestle Trail. The bicycle shop is open for repairs and classic bicycle sales. Bicycle rentals are only available to people staying at our guest house or guest suite. Shop owners Dave Johnson and Becky Roorda opened Trailside Rentals in the summer of 2012 and added the Guest House in 2017. The Art House Guest Suite was added in 2019. The High Trestle Trail is only one block away. We encourage guests to experience it and the High Trestle Trail Bridge overlooking the Des Moines River. In addition, Boone County has the beautiful Des Moines River valley with several parks for hiking and picnicking. Dave is a long-time bike aficionado with an extensive collection that inspired the creation of Trailside Rentals. Becky is an occasional recreational cyclist and regular walker on the Trail.
