Bicyclists who need to rent a set of wheels can do so at a new Stillwater consignment store that also sells leather jackets, skirts, pants, chaps, belts and hats.
Janna Murray opened Janna's Hides & Rides Consignment Leather Clothing & Bicycle Rental on Monday at 218 N. Main St. She will rent one- and three-speed "beach cruiser" bicycles for $15 for two hours, $25 for four hours and $35 for eight hours. She has four bicycles available on a walk-in basis, but hopes to expand the fleet once the new Browns Creek Trail opens on the former line of the Minnesota Zypher dinner train.
Hours are 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call 651-472-9218.
