thanks

Yes, you can rent one speed foot-brake bikes at two locations in Yosemite Valley. Here is the bike route map.

It is legal to ride your own bikes on roads, but I think it's a bad idea for all but the most experienced and savvy riders. Park roads are filled with fat rental RVs, unfamiliar rental cars, and novice mountain drivers.

Biking is lots of fun in valley and is very popular with families. It's a great way to get around but you must stay on the paved walkways or roads. Bikes are not allowed on any of the dirt trails. Also, kids must wear helmets which are available with the rental bikes.
