I'll be in Kittery, Maine (near Portsmouth) from Aug 7-14 and want to rent a road bike to train. It doesn't look like there were many options in that area to begin with, but the shop I did find isn't renting right now because of covid and won't be in August either. Does anyone in the area have any insight?

There are a couple of shops in Kennebunk, about 30 minutes N, that used to do rentals. Coastal Maine Kayak & Bike and Gorham Bike and Ski. Not sure what their current Covid policies are though.

Did you check with papa Wheelie’s in Portsmouth?

Yep, Papa's was the one that has canceled rentals for the foreseeable future.

What exactly were you looking to rent? (Tri-bike, road, gravel, 1 bike, 4 bikes, etc)
I work in Portsmouth, and not sure if there's anything that could really be done, but I can certainly keep an eye out for ya.

Size?
And again, can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do.

Where are you coming from? Didn't know if you could throw a rack on your car if you're going up 95 or 495 you could hit a place on your way and return it on your way home. Also you could probably find something a bit further south in Hampton/Salisbury area, might be more beach cruisers though now that I think of it. Lastly, check Colonial Bicycle in Portsmouth, they sponsor some local races and I've always had a good experience with them, they might be able to help you out.

I'm flying in from the west coast...so no bike rack. I'll reach out to colonial bike though, thanks for the rec.
I'm 5'8, so 52-54cm should work.
