Going to Central Lake next week for an extended-family vacation/gathering. Any bike shops in the area to rent bike + maybe even a trailer (for pulling a child)?

Looking at the yellow pages online, seems like most of the sports stores in the area are fishing-related only. The closest bike store I'm able to find is in Boyne City, which is a little farther than I'd like to go (would like to drive no more than 10-15 minutes from Central Lake).

Any options, or am I out of luck?

Dont plan on going to the Blue Pelican, it burned down today

Maybe try Bellaire?

Thanks for the link to Lakeshore Sports Shop - it didn't show up in my search. Will definitely check it out.

The Blue Pellican - was that the place behind central foods? Changed names 4-5 times over the past decade? I used to eat lunch there every day in high school. Couldn't think of any other place it would have been. The ACN said it was an Icon. Aside from the lamplight, I couldn't think of any other long term "restaurants" in town.

If that place doesn't rent bikes Fuzz, check out Shanty Creek - they might have what you're looking for. They've got a big NORBA course up there, but not sure how far they've come in catering to the bikers.

Have a nice trip - I wish I could go "home" with you! My wife is making her way back up there for Thurs and Fri. Had to go when I'm working donchaknow?
