About
While vacationing in Italy in 1987, our founder Brian McInerney
came across the 4-wheel multi-passenger Surrey cycle. Having
had a long affinity for bicycles, he was so enamored by the
Surrey he sought out the manufacturer and purchased a
container of them before returning to the States. And that's how
it all got started.
Brian returned and opened his first recreational rental location in
Ventura, California. He purchased a small quantity of regular 2-
wheel bicycles to round out the rental fleet, but the real star was
the Surrey cycle. Every customer (and family) left with a huge
smile and a cherished memory.
As time went on some of the tourists who visited that first spot
in Ventura wanted to start a similar business back home. A
small distribution company came to be that sold Surrey cycles
and the necessary replacement parts to keep them running.
Wheel Fun Rentals was established in 1999 when Brian McInerney
and Al Stonehouse combined forces. Al's experience as
president of Diamondback bicycles and skills at company growth
and systems development helped establish a new direction. By
2001 they had added to the fleet with new unique cycles and had
everything in place to begin franchising.
From those humble beginnings, today Wheel Fun Rentals offers
dozens of fun and unique recreational items, designed to move
you and available from outlets across the entire United States.
At Wheel Fun Rentals, "FUN" is our middle name! Great customer
service and a lasting memory are still what we strive for with
every customer. We hope you enjoy the experience as much as
we enjoy serving you
