FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What sets your tour company apart from others and why should I book with OLS?

OLS is a locally owned company. There is a good chance when you call or email you will be speaking with the owner who was born and raised on PEI. This gives us local knowledge of routes, accommodations, points of interest, restaurants and unique relationships that are difficult to replicate from a tour operator based outside PEI. 
OLS is a bicycle shop which means we have access to the best bicycles available. Our rental bikes are replaced at the beginning of each rental season and are tuned up after each rental by our certified on site bike mechanics to ensure a perfect ride! 
In addition, OLS provides the most detailed maps but also includes GPX Files which provides turn by turn directions similar to a car GPS. This ensure you get to each nights accommodations stress free and do not miss any points of interest along the way. 

Can you custom create a tour if I do not see one that I like?

Yes! Send us the details of what you would like and we will create a tour just for you.

What do I need to rent a bike?

Rentals require one piece government issued photo ID (passport or drivers license) and a valid credit card.

What is included with the rental?

Our rentals include locks, helmets, maps, water bottle cage, rear panier rack, repair kit with spare tube, tools, pump and patches. Additional items available for rent include panier bags, bike trailers / strollers, insurance, car racks, handle bar bags, clip in pedals.

Where is the store located?

We are located at 330 University Avenue; a short 15 min walk from the Charlottetown Seaport, a 10 minute drive from the Charlottetown Airport and 3 blocks from the nearest entrance to the Confederation Trail.

What is your cancellation policy?

Can I use a road bike on the Confederation Trail?

We do not recommend this. We suggest our touring hybrid or a cycle cross bike. The Confederation Trail is crushed gravel and road bike tires do not work well on this surface.
