We plan to visit Jefferson City to ride the Katy. I only own a road bike. Is there a place to rent a decent bike is Jefferson City?
Thanks!

sully, the cycle depot moved from hartsburg to jefferson city. you might want to check them out. the web site i believe is cycle-depot.com. i stopped at their hartsburg shop a few years ago and was very impressed. give them a try, they can definetly help you and guide you in the proper direction.
have fun, be safe

Sully, riding the Katy on a road bike can be done with certian measures taken, the forum can put you on the right track if that is the way you would like to go. We have moved to Jefferson City and are open for business, our phone number has changed a little 636-9599 also along with the web www.hartsburgcyledepot.com , sadly we do not rent bicycles, we have loaned out a couple but not rented. J&D Bicycles use to rent but I don't think they do any longer, the cost of insurance can not justify the rentals. The nearest shop would be Rocheport's Trail Side Cafe, arrangements can be made with Larry and we gladly work with him.
Thanks for thinking of us and happy trails.

Looks like you've gotten good advice from the above. Personally, I've dealt with both the Trailside and Hartsburg Cycle and have nothing but good to say about them (other than I hate that Hartsburg Cycle moved from being on the trail).

Like the other person, I would question what you mean by a road bike. I couldn't see riding my ten speed on the trail (27 x 1 1/4 tires)- it would probably be possible, but with a lot of sliding back and forth. If you mean a wider tire, then it may be in consideration.

Good luck.
