Velolet is a is a centralized, one stop shop for renting bikes and bike gear. It was founded in 2010 in Minneapolis by avid cyclist Dan Cleary and officially launched in January 2011. "We help cyclists rent bikes when they travel by connecting them with inventory that is otherwise difficult to find. The cyclist renting the bike gets what they want (to ride) and the bike owners earns some money. Us? We take a little fee in there ourselves but that's only to keep the bike hub rolling smoothly." states the Velolet website.
Are you flying into town for that ride or race and didn't want to bring your own bike or you're just going to be in Minneapolis for a few days and would like to ride in one of the country's top bicycling cities? Maybe you only have a road bike and would like to try mountain biking at one of the local mountain bike trails. Curious about fatbikes or just need one for that upcoming race? Velolet can put you in the saddle of the bike of your choice without the hassle of calling around town trying to find a bike that is available when you need it.
