Blue Blaze Bike Rental & Shuttle

Great service and bikes worked well. The store is right at the start of the Creeper trail, for those wanting to ride uphill. They have a super cute Aussie named Zoe. She is a pleasure :)

It’s a convenient and a much needed service. By providing shuttles and gear, Blue Glaze makes cycling the trails possible for tourists and visitors from around the U.S. The employees/​business owners create a hospitable environment at the store.

I went to this business with my two colleagues while we were at the annual Trail Days event. We went only to ask some questions about the business, however the workers were extremely hospitable and very amiable. I felt very welcomed and would honestly consider using this service if I was to ever need it.

$ 27 for bike rental, shuttle, map, bottle water, and an air pump for your bike. You can choose between a mountain bike and a comfortable bike. I got the comfortable bike because it has a wider seat which helps your bottom a lot especially on long rides. The bike was sturdy and pleased with the service here.
* for parking your car — it’s on the left side of the building.

We had a very good experience renting bikes here. The cost was cheap, the bikes were good, and the service was spot-​on. Their set-​up will take you to the top of the lovely Creeper Trail, and you can coast most of the way back to the shop. Reservations recommended.

This is a modest bike shop that is manned by very approachable staff. They are very willing to help and they are respectful to everyone. The quality of their bikes is very good and one can tell that a lot of care and attention is put into them. Whether you are an experienced biker or an occasional biker, the shop has something for you. I would recommend this shop for any recreational biker.

Look, this shop is great for customer service. They rent and sell bikes, bike gear, and run a shuttle to White Top, the top of the vaunted Virginia Creeper Trail. It’s an hour from us, but a great place to take friends from out of town. I called one time on a Monday or Tuesday and asked to catch the latest shuttle. These guys stayed open late just to accommodate my sister and me. That was a great run, we saw a black bear near the top, it being such a slow day on the trail. I am pretty loyal to them after that experience.

I’ve used them twice to ride down the Creeper Trail. Fairly inexpensive, $ 26 as of May 2013. Their flyer still says $ 25. Bikes are in decent shape, seats aren’t the greatest so your butt will most likely hurt after your ride. They will take your bike up the mountain for about $ 18. Shuttle’s leave about every hour on the half, more often if there are big wait times. They have a limited supply of bike trailers for kids/​dogs and those kid bikes that connect to the back of an adult bike so book early if you need one! They usually give someone in the group a repair kit for flat tires, etc, and everyone gets a free bottle of water.

Had a great time with the family riding the Creeper Trail. Highly recommend it!

Quick, cheap, and well-​maintained Trek bikes. Just what we were looking for.

Quick, efficient, and very good, sturdy, well-​maintained bikes. Can’t really ask for anything more!

I’m not sure how this place compares to others because it is the only one of its kind I have ever used. We rented two ten-​speed bicycles for the Virginia Creeper Trail for an outing I would highly reccommend for practically everyone. It’s 17 miles, but almost all downhill.
Staff was okay, but I didn’t think engaging or friendly enough for a business so totally dependant on huge numbers of people coming through. The bikes we got were great and in good shape. But the briefing we received was inadequate considering we told them neither of us had been on a bicycle in 40 years or more. A more complete rundown of how to do it may have bored a younger or more experienced rider, but we TOLD him we needed the information and they pretty much left it to us to figure it out. That probably sounds trivial to most, but neither of us had ever shifted a bike gear or used separate brakes for front and back — think of the possible bad things that could have happened! A better check out would have saved a couple of spills.
