There are quite a few bike rental/ shuttle places in Damascus for riding the Virginia creeper trail. After reading reviews, I chose Shuttle Shack and I am glad we did. The service was great from beginning to end. Gary and his wife, the owners answered my questions and selected a great Giant bike for me. I tested it in the parking lot. The shuttle ride to Whitetop was driven cautiously to the top. I ride upfront to avoid car sickness and had no problem. I would definitely use their service again if in the area.

Connected with Creeper Trail Bike Rental by chance as we couldn’t reach the shop we normally use. These guys are awesome. Very knowledgeable, approachable, and seem to enjoy what they’re doing. We rented bikes and shuttles to the top; I think Charlie was our driver and he was great. He regaled us with info and took questions from the group. 30 minute ride up a windy road so prep for that if you gotta :) They made the process easy from picking out the bike to returning it. Will definitely visit again!

We just got back from our trip to Damascus and had a terrific time on the Creeper Trail thanks to Blue Blaze bikes. We chose Blue Blaze for our bike rental and shuttle and are so glad we did. Even though all the other companies may appear to be comparable, they are not. From booking the reservation to a safe shuttle service to Whitetop Station to well maintained bikes, every part of our rental experience was terrific. We particularly appreciated that they offered newer Trek bikes that worked perfectly. We even had a choice of a wider and more comfortable seat which I appreciated. I definitely recommend Blue Blaze and will use them again when we return.

Bicycle Junction saved our family bike ride after my 11 yr old broke his arm prior to our trip. They have a special bike trailer capable of carrying him so he could ride along and we could take advantage of the unseasonably warm November day to check out the VA creeper trail. Staff were all courteous and professional and everyone was wearing masks (a big concern of ours). Thankfully the other riders on our shuttle as well as our driver took mask-wearing seriously and we had a safe, pleasant ride up to Whitetop station (even with my car sick prone children). Would definitely use this company and recommend them to others.

We were really pleased with this choice of bike rental - there are a lot of choices! The bikes worked well, fitted us well. We took their helmets too. Their location right on the trail is a plus too. The driver up to the the top was friendly and knowledgeable. The trail is in pretty good shape. We went on a cold day and were happy to stop for hot chocolate along the way.
