Welcome to Billy's Bike Shop!

Billy’s Bike Shop- Your Island Connection!

We are part of the “Billy Empire” that started with beach chair and boat rentals on Sanibel and Captiva in 1985. Then we progressed to bike and scooter rentals in the 90’s. Many of our customers enjoyed the cruiser bikes Billy rented so much they would buy one and have it shipped to their home.

In 2005, store space became available across Periwinkle Way from the rental location. It was a perfect opportunity to open a bike shop where Billy could sell all types of bikes and repair bikes for visitors, snowbirds and residents.

Along with that idea Billy had become interested in the Segway. It is a two wheeled self balancing mode of transportation that does not burn gas and can be operated by practically anyone after a short lesson. Then the idea came together - conduct eco-friendly tours out of a retail store for bicycles, as well as Segways!

Billy assembled a staff of friendly experts to offer advice, sell customers the proper bicycle for their needs, repair bikes and “fix flats on the fly”. The staff also teaches people to operate Segways and educates them while on awesome island tours.

Seeing Double?

So, with Billy’s Rentals at 1470 Periwinkle and Billy’s Bike Shop right across the street at 1509 Periwinkle we can service the needs of all who want to enjoy the outdoors! We agree it is a bit confusing, where to rent bikes? where to buy bikes?, where to find Segways? But we think you will find a smiling face on either side of the street that will be happy to point you in the right direction!

We Are Here to Help You.

We specialize in service and advice for beginning bikers and those that want to become better bikers. We try to accomplish that in a non intimidating atmosphere.
