Road bikes · Mountain bikes · Motorcycles
Where to ride around Las Vegas on a road bike, mountain bike or motorcycle, what it costs to get in, which rules apply on the road, and where to rent or fix a bike. Every fact comes from the agency or business behind it.

Entry fees
The big rides around Las Vegas are on public land, and each agency charges differently. These are the bicycle and motorcycle rates we checked on October 22, 2026.
Three ways to ride
Each mode has its own hub with the rides, laws, group rides and rentals that apply.
Ride finder
Filter by how you ride, how far you want to go and how hard you want it. Each page lists who manages the ride, fees, hours and closures.

How we rate difficulty: Easy is under 10 miles with under 500 feet of published climbing. Hard is more than 2,000 feet of published climbing. Moderate is in between. Mixed levels means the land manager or trail group lists both beginner and technical trails. Motorcycle rides and routes with no published distance aren't rated.

Flying in? Two shops publish road bike rental details on their own sites: Las Vegas Cyclery in Summerlin and Trek's rental center in Blue Diamond, near Red Rock. Giant Las Vegas rents from its Henderson store. Our bike shops page has addresses, phone numbers and rental prices.
If you'd rather not ride alone, Pedal & Pour runs a relaxed Sunday Coffee Ride and a faster Friday Loop Ride from its café and shop in the southwest valley, with ride times and RSVPs on its Strava club. Giant Las Vegas runs weekend road rides at three paces and a Tuesday night mountain bike ride. The group rides page has every ride by mode, and rider stops lists cafés and bars riders use.
We don't take money from the shops we list, and we don't rank them. If something's wrong, every listing has a link to tell us.
