I've been away from the island for a few years now. I still have my old 97' Cannondale, that I bought from Young's that summer.. Still looks and rides great ( if I could say the same..) Glad for the bike, and the memories...

Jasper and the team are so friendly and helpful. All the bikes, plus our rental car, were in great condition. They will come get you if something happens. Why go anywhere else?!?

My wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary on Nantucket and the trip would not have been complete without a Jeep Rental from Youngs Bicycle Shop. Great location, friendly and reasonably priced. The Great Point beach drive was an adventure.

I can't recommend Young's enough. They were flexible when I needed to change my reservation day last minute and transitioned us seamlessly to a rental car when it was pouring rain the day of our visit.Lucas was a tremendous help when I left my purse in the rental car and didn't realize it until we were getting on the last ferry leaving the island, after Young's was closed for the day. He went out of his way to get it on the first ferry the next morning and send us a picture of the freight label so we could pick it up on our way out of town, as soon as the ferry docked.Many thanks to Young's for their rental options and exemplary customer service.

Great customer service! We rented a couple bikes for 24 hours to get around town. It started raining cats and dogs and Jasper offered to keep our bikes inside while we ventured out to grab a beer and wait out the storm. He even recommended a couple of pubs and gave us a tour of his massive inventory of bikes - yes, they rent most of them out during high season. Helmets and baskets were free and they offer a hotline for any service needs. Compared to the bikes our friends rented at another shop, our bikes were in great condition and a pleasure to ride. Save yourself a potential hassle elsewhere. Highly recommend!

Very good bike shop, everything was just so smooth. Easy to book, reliable, the most helpful staff, affordable, they have a helpline, bikes were just perfect for Nantucket activities. Highly recommend. Hard to imagine any other bikeshop would be better on the island.

I recently visited Nantucket for the first time and as per suggestion I was looking to rent a bike. Through quick search on google I found Young s Bicycle Shop. I initially wanted to get a bike but they also have cars. I was doing a day trip to the Island so I rented a bike. The whole renting experience is quick and efficient. The staff is super helpful and very caring. They do not click bait on prices and are very transparent. They don t even put pressure on the return of the bike. I stayed on the Island after the shop got closed. You can simply lock the bike on the backside and drop of the lock key.Whenever I m back in Nantucket, my go to shop will Young s bicycle shop. A highly recommended place.

As an avid cyclist, I know my bikes. The bikes rented from Young s bike shop were in really good shape and well maintained. A lot of times when you rent a bike you get junk - but these bikes had great brakes and shifted really nice. Very easy to reserve too. Great shop!

Young's is my go-to bike shop when I come to Nantucket. A family-run business that has been around for 90+ years. They are super helpful and friendly, the bikes are in great shape, and they have the best map ever. I love these people. Don't even think of renting anywhere else.

If you re on Nantucket you HAVE to rent a jeep from young s ! It s SUCH A VIBE! Cruising around the island was a blast and you can buy a day pass to drive out onto the beach- it s was so incredible and a memory I ll always cherish! Highly recommend young s- the staff was so nice and helpful and we had such a great experience

Just left the island, and was so pleased with the whole experience with Young's. Service was friendly from making the original reservation all the way through returning the bikes, and the equipment was well-maintained. The drop-off/pick-up service was essential for our family of 4 hauling luggage pretty far in from the ferries, so having the bikes set up and waiting for us ready to go at our stay when we got there was perfect. Getting around everywhere with "our" bikes added another level of excitement to our little ones' adventure of exploring Nantucket, including extra trips down Cobblestone Hill just for fun...100% would rent from Young's again, and will recommend it whenever asked.

Very convenient location right off the ferry. Extremely efficient-I had my bike and was on the road within 5 minutes tops. Plus they offer roadside assistance all day - you can call them if you get a flat (if you have cell service). Also reasonable rates and decent bikes for a rental place. Would definitely use them again.

We rented bikes Sunday 10/1 & had the best service and easiest time with the rental. I sadly left our camera in the trailer & didn t realize until a week later. When I called & spoke with Brett he said they had it and would be able to ship it back to us in Florida! I m so thankful there are still good honest people in this world. They are professional and kind and deserve so much kudos for their honestly. Rent from them you won t be disappointed!! Can t wait for our next visit either!

I always give Young's my business. They have a staff that is courteous, professional, and very competent. They work hard to put the customer first. I have dealt with Jack a handful of times over the past couple of years, and every time he is totally helpful and accommodating. If you're trying to choose between bike stores, I recommend Young's every time!

I took my toad bike to ACK this summer. Had a couple issues including the need to replace disc brake pads. Mae Banks who runs the service at Young s was incredibly helpful. They didn t have the right part. She called around to other shops - no luck. So with some research on my brakes and what she did have in stock was able to fit a different set of pads in. They worked perfectly - and a few months later are still doing great. Service and a smile on top of quality work. Can t do better than that.

Extraordinary service! We have bought all our bikes here as well as rentals for guests. This week end we needed to shorten our rentals by one day..they were booked to puck bikes up one day early, so kept the original pick up date, but didn't charge us for the day!Highly recommend!

Great place, friendly staff. We rented bikes for the whole family and I (optimistically) got the for the whole day. We lasted less than 2 hrs with little kids, and when we returned them they automatically refunded the difference ($44). That was really nice, they didn't have to do that.

Affordable bike rental, good location, and Jasper was so helpful with routes and suggestions for us to enjoy a beautiful weekend by bike! Bikes are comfortable and includes a helmet, big basket and bike lock.

My boyfriend and I rented bikes from here for 24 hours and then when we came back to return them the next day we decided to rent a Jeep for the day. Both transactions were easy, smooth, and the gentleman working were friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back next time we're on the island.

My wife and I spent a sunny day in Nantucket and in the late afternoon went to Young's Shop to rent a couple of bikes. They have a friendly staff, with this guy called Jasper giving us great directions to enjoy the hours we would still had in the island. We just loved the path to Dionis Beach and the place itself. The bicycles were also pretty comfortable and well maintained.

They have some of the mostly friendly and helpful staff to make sure your rentals are always set right for cycling and their vehicles are in top condition. Even if something goes wrong and you're on the other side of the island they endeavour to get a replacement bike or car out to you asap. Highly recommended, don't forget to ask for a few suggestions of what to see!

I recently rented an auto from Young's and had a mixed experience. We have rented bikes there many times and always found the staff accommodating and helpful. This time, not so. I called in advance to indicate we would be returning later than planned on the day of our return, and returned 5 hours after our original time of pick-up. I expected to pay extra, but was unhappy to hear that would be a whole day's rental. When asked why a whole day, the staffer said abruptly "its a whole day to me". Instead of going into the shop and buying T shirts as we had planned, we walked away thinking we'd try another shop next time. Its the off-season, and a time for a little courtesy and to win loyalty, but that was just not happening.

Bicycle gears were poorly maintained and jumped for the whole of the ride.Pedal crank made a loud knocking noise on every turn of the pedal.I advised the young girl on return, she did not care and was disinterested.Most concerning was her and the stores treatments of their helmets. She took my helmet and threw it into a cage for helmets, therefore compromising the very integrity of the helmet which are supposed to protect your head. I expressed my concern and noted that helmets should be looked after,however she was not interested at all. I would not recommend this bike shop to anyone, and especially their shocking treatment of bike helmets.
