path" bring to mind freedom, fun,
and your carefree days of youth,
then you have got to come and check
out the newest addition to good old-
fashioned recreation, located at the
Old Mill District in Bend.
Owner of the franchise, Joanie
Krehbiel, says Wheel Fun Rentals

pedal driven cycles, giving you the
opportunity to discover that
"everything old is new again," with a
menu of strictly 21st century bicycles
to satisfy the whims of even the most
hard-to-please personalities. Wheel
Fun Rentals sports a logo
reminiscent of a 1950's family riding
huddled together to take a joyful ride.
How many of us remember that we
used to ride bikes just for fun?

great perspective on her new
business and how she offers the
ultimate in fun and recreation for the
entire family, from toddlers through
grandparents. She moved to Bend in
1988 and became the recreation
director at Sunriver Resort and then
on to the Hotel del Coronado in San

"Our Entire fleet is designed for fun.
We offer a fleet of vehicles so cool;

Surrey with a fringe on top or one of
our other specialty cycles."
A
Surrey
is a family four-wheeled
cycle, offered in two models, that

or six adults plus two children. Lots
of people get to pedal and grandma
and the baby can come along for the
ride; it is great fun for ages 1 to 99.

to pedal sitting side-by-side. Adults
and/or children can pedal together
and there's a jump seat in the back to
carry small children six years and
younger. They also have Cruisers,
Tandems, Mountain Bikes and more.
