Rent a bike for four days on Virginia Key

theloveburn.com/dmv skips the tag requirement for bikes entirely, so a rental bike is one less line at the gate. The survival guide tells people to plan ahead and bring or rent a bike, because Arthur Lamb Road runs long and the sand paths inside the venue are not built for cars.

This page splits pedal bikes from e-bikes, since the rules split them too. Below are national rental and retail offers next to five real bike shops near the venue who can hand you a bike before the gate opens.

Event rule

Pedal bikes need no tag, e-bikes do if they can't pedal

theloveburn.com/dmv states an LBDMV tag is not required for bikes, so a normal pedal bike or a pedal-assist e-bike is ready to ride. E-bikes must have human-powered pedals. Electric cycles without human-powered pedals must be registered with LBDMV before the gate. Anything capable of exceeding 5 MPH has to obey the 5 MPH limit on site. Onewheels do not need a tag.
