    Peddle bike rental

    does anyone know if there is a place that rents peddle bikes on the beach? Bringing the kiddos in March & my 7yo loves to ride. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    Other than the sidewalk on beach road, I'm not sure where a 7 y.o. would ride a bike in Negril. The side of the road would be very dangerous.

    I'm with John, I wouldn't let my kid ride, just not worth the risk. Just like renting a car...

    I am not aware of any bike rentals that would have a bike suitable for a 7 year old. And I assume that you would accompany him.

    Letting a 7 year old negotiate the sidewalk alone on a bike is not advisable. Driveways cross the sidewalk and drivers making the turn may not see your 7 year old.

    I have never seen a lone child on a bike on the sidewalk.

    My son was a avid bicyclist since he was young and still an extremely talented dirk bike rider. He has been coming to Jamaica with me since he was 5 years old. He never missed his riding when he was in Negril. Trust me , your son will be entertained with the beach, seeing new things, playing dominos with new Jamaican friends, etc. No bike shouldn't be a big deal.
    PS... Hey Rob, I will always take your advice, parental or otherwise.

    And thats the last bit of help you will get from him I would guess.
    If you are worried about something, do something about it. If there is nothing you can do, why worry!

    Safety advice from a long time Negril resident. How presumptuous. What were you thinking Rob? ;-)
