Demo Bikes at Trail House Santa Rosa


What's Ours Is Yours. Kinda.

Hammurabi gave us the first libraries. We like the idea, just for bikes instead.

We'll keep a rotating stock on these, but generally, expect to see offerings from the fine folks at Specialized.

Reservations are going to be strongly recommended. People come from far and wide to rail our trails and they're ready to do it on the best they can get their legs around. 

WHAT TO BRING

At Trail House, all demo bikes come stocked with flat or Shimano pedals. If you prefer to use your own pedals, bring them by and we will be happy to install them for you.

Be sure to bring your own helmet. All demo riders MUST wear a helmet!

In order to demo a bicycle at Trail House, please have your ID and Credit Card ready. You will sign a liability waiver and must be approved for a credit card pre-authorization upon check out. A deposit may be required. Riders under the age of 18 must have a parent present to sign a liability waiver.

OUR TURBO SYSTEMS
FULL POWER VS. SL

While all of our Turbo bikes are pedal assist trail machines, there are two different experiences you can have on our bikes. The Superlight (SL) system gives you up to 2x your power amplification with a 250w motor, and can be as light as 38 lbs. SL bikes have the characteristics of being light & nimble while taking the sting out of long climbs. 

Our Full Power system will give you up to 4x your power using a 565w motor, with bikes weighing closer to 50 lbs. The full power bikes are your traditional turbo experience with an incredibly stable & planted feel on the trails. If you’re not sure which one is right for you, try them both!

RAINY DAY

To help protect the trails in the area, we will not be sending out bikes on rainy days. If the trails are closed and demos need to be changed, we will contact you by 10am on the day of your demo to help you reschedule to a better day. Thanks for your understanding and assisting us in protecting our local trails.

Check the weather here before booking your demo.

THE DATES I WOULD LIKE TO RIDE ARE GREYED OUT ON THE CALENDAR - CAN I STILL BOOK A DEMO?
If the date on the calendar is greyed out, then we are fully booked for that day. Weekends fill up 3-4 days in advance.

CAN I LEAVE MY CAR PARKED AT TRAIL HOUSE?
Yes you may! We are 1/2 mile from Howarth Park and just a couple miles from Trione-Annadel State Park where there are many bike trails to explore!

HOW DO I TRANSPORT THE BIKE?
With suitable tray-style racks or a pickup truck you may transport the bike elsewhere to ride. We double-check your setup to make sure it can bear the weight and won't damage the bikes. We prefer that bikes aren't transported inside of a vehicle, but if you must, we only allow one bike to be transported that way.

WHY DIDN'T I RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION EMAIL?
We find our confirmation email often goes to the spam folder. If you still cannot see a confirmation email for you booking please feel free to call us at (707) 843-4943

CAN I DEMO A BIKE FOR WEEKLY GROUP RIDES?
Absolutely. To do so, create a booking as normal and then call to confirm the logistics of the group ride to get you set up.



DEMO TERMS & CANCELLATION POLICY
We require a credit card to be placed on file in order to book your reservation, and you will be charged in full at the time of your demo. We require at least 48 hours notice for all cancellations - any cancellations within 48 hours of your reservation will result in a fee of 20% of your total demo cost, automatically charged to your card on file.  

LATE DEMO RETURNS
Any demo bikes returned after the completion of your demo time will result in a late-fee of $25 per bike, automatically charged to your card on file. 

DAMAGE POLICY
We offer a $10 damage policy covering up to $250 in bike damage. Anything beyond that, or any amount of damage if you decline coverage, is the responsibility of the rider and must be paid in full upon return of the demo bike.
