The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to linger, and with no end date in sight, it’s hard to get into a regular workout routine. To get you back on track, why not try out renting a bike?
This is a great alternative to at-home workouts that will allow you to exercise outside while having fun. There are so many benefits to renting a bike, including zero ownership so that you can enjoy your day and ride as long as you like.
Whether you are a bike enthusiast or just want to try something different, bike rentals are very entertaining, and the following are just some of the benefits you will experience:
It’s not every day that you get to see surrounding nature, and this is certainly not something you can do when you’re inside a gym, but a bike ride will allow you to get closer to the environment. There is a lot of freedom that comes with this activity, and this mode of transport will provide you with exercise and adventure so you’ll have a lot to be excited about. You’ll also get to ride at your pace so you can explore and actually connect with your surroundings.
Test your navigational skills when cycling and choose not to rely on technology. Don’t be afraid to get a little lost. Trust your instincts and your sense of direction, both of which will improve your skill set in exploring.
If you are new to the city or you haven’t got the chance to fully explore its depths over the past few years, renting a bike is a great way to reach new destinations and discover something new. You can go down bike paths to find new parks, avoid traffic jams to get to city attractions quicker, or make a list of places you haven’t been and casually ride around to each destination.
Cycling is something you can do in groups, and it is a very fun sport that is social so you can join a cycling tour when you rent a bike during which you can meet lots of people. This is a great way to bond with others and to make new friends.
Bike rentals are a very convenient way to get around, so you will be able to navigate through cities easily or explore nature paths if that’s what you prefer. You’ll never have to worry about traffic, and you’ll never be late. Riding an eBike is also very easy as it doesn’t require a lot of physical exertion to get from place to place. If you want to go on a longer bike ride, opting for an eBike rental from Bee’s Knees Bike Rental is the way to go!
If you are looking for a healthy way to explore the city while getting a workout in, consider bike rentals. This is a great way to enjoy your day because it is a social, fun and convenient activity that is also great for your health and Bee’s Knees Bike Rental can provide you with a memorable experience.

As many of you know, one of our own riders, Eric Mold, recently had his coveted eProdigy Jasper stolen from his underground parking, as reported by CTV. At 92 years old and a daily e-bike rider around Stanley Park, Eric was devastated with the loss of his favorite bike.
Bees Knees jumped in to help Eric get a replacement bike, and we learned a few new skills along the way, thanks to support from the Vancouver Police Department’s bike theft crew, and them introducing us to 529 Garage: Register. Report. Recover!
What is 529 Garage? Well essentially it’s community watch for your bike, and VPD are claiming that since they launched the program, bike thefts are down across Vancouver. Which is amazing, given that bike purchases and the amount of bikes out and about has increased dramatically in the last few years.
What we learned about 529 Garage is it’s a fast and effective way of registering your bike via a phone app to make it less of a desirable target for thieves. The following information is from 529 Garage website
Quickly capture all the important information about your bike from your computer or your smartphone. It’s free!
Our tamper resistant 529 Shield acts as a deterrent, warning would-be thieves to keep their paws off your bike, and making it easier to find you if your bike is recovered.
Make the most of the 529 community to find your stolen bike. Our community includes over 400 law enforcement agencies, universities, bike clubs and bike shops around the world, as well as 529 users like you.
Thousands of bikes are recovered by law enforcement and the community. If your bike is registered, it’s easy to get back to you!
Be sure to search our registry to make sure that a bike you are considering buying wasn’t reported stolen. And, if you find a bike, or see something suspicious, post it with us to help get it back to it’s owner.
How can we at Bees Knees Bike Rentals and Repairs help? We are open 7 days a week, and can supply you with the information and 529 Garage tamper proof shield sticker, so that you can quickly register your bike against bike theft! It only takes about 5 minutes. While you are at our shop, let us know if you need a spring tune up for your bike! We offer a spring safety check for as low at $49.99. So, one stop will help keep your bike safe in more ways than one. 🙂
Prepare for a fun e-bike rental!
We have a lot of people who pop in to Bees Knees e-bike rentals to ride our e-bikes – either on a whim as the sun just came out, or a pre-planned and booked ride around Stanley Park – and who sometimes ride off with excitement, batteries all charged up for a nice long ride, but wearing clothes that just don’t support our ever changing Vancouver weather.
Riders, either new to Vancouver or seasoned locals, sometimes forget that during the off-season riding a bike at faster speeds, along with a wind-chill factor, can be COLD!
And our fickle Vancouver sun can also disappear at any moment and give way to clouds.
Our bikes are FAST
Our Bees Knees eProdigy e-bikes are super fun, allowing you to ride hills effortlessly and pedal like a champ. Also, our powerful mid-drive motors will make sure you only work out as much as you want to. But all that wind you are feeling while you pedal effortlessly may require some extra clothing to keep warm. You will likely be riding average speeds that are faster than you would on a traditional bicycle, with less effort, so we want you to dress for the event.
What to wear
So what does all the mean? To take full advantage of our Bees Knees long lasting batteries, dress more like you are going to be riding a motor-scooter than a bicycle.
Here are some suggestions you should have with you when you arrive early for your rental e-bike:
Now that you have the basics covered
We think if you have the basic items listed above, you will have the confidence to ride longer even if the sun turns to clouds. Or, conversely, if the clouds turn to sun, have a way to pack away your outer layers and enjoy the early summer warmth!
Our online e-bike rental booking is open now and our e-bikes, for as low as $35 for 2 hours, go fast once the sun makes a run for it, so don’t delay!
