What are the Roads Like?
The bicycling routes our rental and tour guests frequent include a combination of quieter country roads as well as stretches along busier thoroughfares – including Hwy. 29 and Silverado Trail. We only recommend riding on sections of these busier roadways where there is a designated Class II Bike Lane.
The Napa Valley Vine Trail is a car-free (Class I) bike path that spans a total of 12.5 miles from southern Napa to Yountville. Our Downtown Napa & Yountville shops are 9 miles apart via the Vine Trail and yes, you can ride point-to-point! A $10 per bike Relocation Fee will apply when you return bikes to the opposite store from where you started.
