The Gateway Arch Riverfront and The Touring Cyclist have teamed up to provide St. Louis with a new and exciting way to tour the sights and sounds of the city or leisurely cycle the path along the riverfront by opening a new bike rental shop.

The Touring Cyclist will operate the bike rental shop located below the Arch on Leonor K. Sullivan Blvd. Rentals are available Monday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Riders that visit the shop will be provided with several suggested bike paths to explore, including the St. Louis Riverfront Trail along the Mississippi, and trails leading to the City Museum, Union Station, Anheuser Busch Brewery, and Forest Park. Maps provided show detailed directions to guide bikers along the various paths. Bike rentals cost $12 for 2 hours and $25 for all day. To accommodate individuals, families and groups, tandem bikes, trailers and tag-a-longs are available at additional costs. For more information contact Tom Etling or Lindsey Ruud at 314-621-4040.
