We provide Pedego Boomerang and Interceptor Classic & Step-Thru Electric Bikes for this tour. Learn more about our Pedego Electric Bike Fleet.

Yes, we encourage you to bring any accessories that you feel comfortable riding with, particularly as we may be covering long distances. Our Marin fleet of “regular” bikes comes with flat pedals that don’t have clip-ins, so be sure to bring both your pedals and clip-in shoes if that’s what you prefer.

In most cases, yes.  We’ll ensure your bike has had a service and is in peak riding condition before the start of the trip. En route, your guide will be able to do light maintenance and routine mechanics, such as fixing flat tires, pumping tires up, and adjusting seats. Each of the trailers is well-equipped with a tool kit, spare tires, and tubes, spare batteries.

You will find distances listed on our trip itineraries.  Days range from 15-45 miles on average.

The trails on our Rails-to-Trails bike tours are rated from easy to moderate. The Centennial Trail and Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes are both nicely paved bike paths, with few significant hill climbs. The Hiawatha Trail is a crushed gravel path with a slight downhill grade.

A moderate level of fitness is needed for these trips.  Depending on your mileage for the day, you may be pedaling for up to five or six hours during the day. You will enjoy your trip more if you are in reasonable shape.  Our E-bikes make the riding even easier.  However, you should still have good balance and have some experience on a bike, be capable of getting off and on your bike, braking safely, etc. We suggest you spend some time biking at home leading up to your trip to help prepare.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

The trails where we offer these tours are ideal for families and we provide you plenty of ideas on how to make your time together the best possible.  We have ideas on places to stop and other activities to break up the biking, alternatively there is ample opportunity to just have a few hours free time to play at one of the beautiful parks or beaches.  There are many play spots, swimming holes and places for ice cream treats along the way, providing plenty of fun for everyone.  If you choose an itinerary with a stay in Kellogg, Idaho your kids might want to visit the fun waterpark too. You might also choose to add a full day of rafting on the Clark Fork river following your bike tour.

The trails themselves are gentle and if you have really little ones we can set you up with a bike trailer.  For those a bit older, but not old enough to ride alone, we also have tag-alongs.

Sometimes, yes. Other times, no. Many of the historic inns and B&Bs in which we stay only have one bed per room while others will have two separate beds. If it’s important that you and your travel companion have separate beds, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. That being said, only those who pay the single supplement fee will be guaranteed their own room and bed each night.

Yes, on our fully guided bike tours! At every support stop, we will provide a cooler with iced water so you can refill your water bottle. We will also have hydration powder available if you’re in need of a boost.

Yes, we can make accommodations for dietary needs and restrictions as long as we’re notified at the time of booking.  Breakfasts are often served at the hotel where you stay and options may be limited.

Yes, if you need a break, the support vehicle will be available and you can opt to hop in the van per coordination with our guides.

Yes, guests are welcome to ride along in the van. But keep in mind we don’t offer discounts for guests who aren’t riding a bike and they will pay the regular trip cost.

When you receive your reservation materials, there will also be a packing list included, which will detail all of the essential items you need. We recommend packing clothing for all weather conditions and will suggest waterproof clothing based on your tour’s location and length.

Only in the most extreme circumstances when severe weather events are forecast will we cancel a tour. Otherwise, we will ride on through both rain and sunshine.

Full van support means that our vehicle will regularly meet up with the group along the cycling route to offer light refreshments, water refills, and transport for riders who don’t want to bike the next leg. However, it’s important to keep in mind that there may be stretches of bike paths that have limited access for van support and your guide will let you know ahead of time so you’re aware of your options.

Any necessary adjustments will be made to your bike on arrival to ensure it’s comfortable for you to ride. When making your reservation, it’s important that you provide us with an accurate height and inseam measurement (without shoes), so we can secure the right bike for you. If you have any queries about your bicycle fit, our friendly staff are happy to assist.

Fly to Spokane, Washington (airport code GEG).

Arrive in Spokane the day prior to the trip to ensure you don’t miss the early departure on the first day of riding. Spokane is a great place to explore with many exciting culinary options, things to do and see as well as recreation stores to support any last minute purchases. We will happily provide recommendations on accommodations at your time of booking.

Our guided tours may be booked online.  It is always good to start planning your trip earlier than later.  Our region is a popular vacation area during the summer months, and lodging is in high demand, meaning our accommodation options become more limited the closer we are to the summer months.

The Centennial Hotel in Spokane, WA offers parking on site for a fee. Spokane also offers a variety of other long-term garage parking options.
