Bike rental for full-day of advanced mountain biking tours (possible to rent through partners — assistance and discount rates available)
In order to join a mountain biking tour in Whistler, you will need to be able to pedal at least for three hours or more if you choose a full/day option. Although some tours are beginner-friendly, you need to be fit enough to pedal up some rising terrain. After booking, your guide will determine the group’s skill level and capabilities and cater the day to your specific abilities. Keep in mind, opting for the full-day option means more biking, which is strenuous even if you stay on beginner level trails.
Mountain biking tours in Whistler are beginner friendly, so no prior mountain biking experience is necessary. Nevertheless, all riders, regardless of age or height, must be capable of operating hand brakes and shifting gears. A guide will explain the different mountain bike techniques and body positions to get you feeling comfortable on the trail. You will progress at a level that is consistent with your comfort. Once you finally get the hang of trail riding, you will only want more!
