Starting in 2020 the bicycle rentals are only available to people staying at our guest house or guest suite.

They love the trail and want to encourage others to experience it and the High Trestle Trail Bridge overlooking the Des Moines River. 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.
