Boston bicycle rentals are not all about vacation or weekend fun any more. Today, with our gasoline prices skyrocketing, many people are beginning to eye bicycles as an alternative form of daily travel.

MyBikeOnline.com is a different kind of Boston bicycle rentals program than the previous listings. This innovative bicycle outlet has programs available for businesses, college students, or other groups to rent bicycles for their members to use on a longer term basis than those want if they are just vacationing in the Boston area.

MyBikeOnline.com will also pay people riding a bike if they will attach advertising to the frame of their bicycle as they are riding it. I get the impression from their Web site that this might apply to people outside of the Boston area too. If you participate in this program you get a 75.00 check every three months. I have read the reviews for MyBikeOnline.com online and everybody that has found this place seems to be happy.
