Want to rent a bicycle for the day without having to stay in Bixi’s downtown parameters?  Up for rollerblading the length of the lakeshore, but don’t have wheels that will hold up? Check out Wheel Excitement, Toronto’s largest bicycle and rollerblade rental shop! Located in Toronto’s central waterfront and open from 10am to 5pm each day, you’ll have a great time riding through the city on your rented wheels. If you fall in love with your bike, you may even be able to purchase it – Wheel Excitement sells bikes from only $175, making summertime city exploration a la bicycle your own!

Wheel Excitement rents mountain bikes, hybrids, and inline skates for $15 for 1 hour, and then $3 for each additional hour, with a 24-hour rate of $30. Rent for two days and pay $50 – each additional day is $15.00. For more information, go to www.greentourism.ca, and be sure to check out Heikki’s interview with Wheel Excitement owner, Bruce Abe, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCX225t9xv4.
