Is there a cheap place to rent a bike in San Francisco/East Bay for five days?

Asked by evander (465

I am returning to the bay area in a week to visit and want to have a bike to combine with BART to see friends scattered around the Bay. I don't want to rent from one of the expensive touristy places.

Thanks, nomtastic, for the advice and offer. I am an old friend of Ben's and will be staying with him for much of my visit to the bay area.

Evan, we've got an extra bike either of you can use (no lock). Also, across the street from our house there's a place called Box Dog Bikes that's hipstered out and might rent em cheap.
