People who don't have their own bicycles often try to make one by sawing their cars in half or affixing extra wheels to their unicycles. Borrow a traditionally made bicycle with today's Groupon to Pablo's Bicycle Rentals, located on L Street. Choose between two options:

• For $12, you get a three-hour bicycle rental for two (up to a $24 value).
• For $15, you get a 24-hour bicycle rental for one (up to a $30 value).

Pablo's Bicycle Rentals' friendly staff equips riders of all types with top-notch bicycles and points them toward Anchorage's expansive vistas and coastal trails. Enlist a sidekick for a three-hour bike journey along the 20-mile Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, headlined with scenic views of Earthquake Park and Westchester Lagoon. Aboard an age-appropriate mountain bike or road bike, parent-child teams can pedal side-by-side while gazing at Anchorage's nearby mountain ranges, which include North America’s highest peak, Mount Oprah.

Bikers can also spend an entire day perched atop a Cannondale hybrid exploring the 1,400-acre Kincaid Park, bobbing and weaving past moose and foxes as majestic bald eagles soar above to catch Internet bloopers on camera. Pablo's Bicycle Rentals outfits cyclists with a lock, repair kit, helmet, and map of the area. Upon returning from grueling pedal fests, ravenous riders can refuel with Pablo's eclectic array of dishes, including smoked-Alaskan-salmon quesadillas and buffalo, reindeer, or elk sausages.
