Buena Vista Townie Cruiser Bike Rental
Some days call for exploring Buena Vista at an easy pace instead of chasing singletrack. Our Townie Cruiser rentals are electric assist bikes built for cruising downtown, rolling along the river, and getting from breakfast to your next adventure without breaking a sweat.
The Highlights Of Your Trip
With 400 watts of electric pedal assist and an upright, comfortable riding position, the Townie Cruiser takes the effort out of getting around at altitude. You won’t arrive anywhere winded, and your back and neck stay relaxed the whole ride. Point it toward Buena Vista’s shops, restaurants, and breweries, and let the motor handle the work.

What Your Buena Vista Townie Bike Adventure Looks Like
A. Ride Straight From the Shop
Pick up your Townie Cruiser at AVA’s south main shop and you’re already close to everything downtown Buena Vista has to offer. The town’s paved and packed-dirt trail network, maintained through the Buena Vista Recreation Information Center, connects Main Street to the river, the historic district, and South Main without ever needing a car.
B. A Bike Built for Comfort, Not Effort
The Townie Cruiser pairs an upright seating position with electric pedal assist, so you’re never fighting the altitude or the terrain. Buena Vista sits above 7,900 feet, and that pedal assist makes a real difference for visitors who aren’t used to riding at elevation. You pedal, the motor helps, and the miles go by easily.
C. A Route That Runs Through the Heart of Town
This isn’t a bike built for the rocky singletrack outside of town. It’s built for Buena Vista itself: Main Street, the shops and restaurants of the South Main district, and the paved paths along the Arkansas River. It’s an easy way to see the town without needing a car for every stop.
D. A Ride That Fits Around Your Day
Because it starts and ends at AVA’s south main shop, a Townie Cruiser rental fits naturally into a bigger day. Ride to lunch, roll along the river to watch kayakers play in the whitewater park, then swing back for an afternoon rafting trip or a stop at the shop for your next adventure.
E. A Bike for Every Skill Level
You don’t need biking experience or a high fitness level to enjoy this rental. The electric assist levels the playing field, so families, couples, and casual riders can all cover the same ground comfortably, at whatever pace they want.

Who This Bike Is For
