Anyone know of any companies that let you rent a bike at the start town, and drop it off at the end town? If so, what companies would you and wouldn’t you recommend?
I think Bike World does that. I know they are in Des Moines and Ames. Probably in several Iowa cities. I brought a buddy last year on his way to an air show in Oshkosh. He thought about renting a bike for a day, but the rental was on a weekly basis. May be just what you need. I suggest you bring your own saddle.
PS, we brought my buddy’s bike with us and he rode the last day.
Check out Pork Belly Ventures (PVC), it’s one of the Ragbrai charters , I’m pretty sure you can rent bikes from them . In addition , I’ve used their charter service the last 3 years and will again this year . I’ve been very happy with them , no complaints at all . You will have a blast on Ragbrai . See you Iowa !

Mr Bill,
Perhaps you’ve found this by now but there’s a link for bike rentals in the drop-downs at the top of the page. D
I don’t know where you’re from, but I rented a bike (2 summers ago) from: http://www.brothersbicycle.com in Sioux Center, IA.
He was AWESOME, and I can’t recommend him enough.
