Accessories

If you would like GPX files for a suitable device, please request them at the time of booking. Devices are not provided without request. Please ensure that you bring any fittings required to attach the Garmin (or similar) to the handlebars.

All bikes are provided with standard flat pedals so there is no need to bring your own! However, if you wish to do so, you can bring your own cycling pedals but ensure that you have the correct tools to remove the pedals – if the tour does not have a welcome meeting. This may be difficult to travel through airports with the tools if you are carrying hand luggage only.

You can rent a men’s bike with a crossbar, unisex/female bike with a sloping tube or an electric bike for a supplement price.

Gearing information is available on request.

Frame Sizing

When you make a booking with us, we take your height(s), and the appropriate bike size is matched up accordingly. Unisex frame 21-gears with freewheel. Sizes: 56 / 51 / 46 / 43 cm. Unisex 7-gears-bikes with back pedalling brake. Sizes: 56 / 51 / 46 cm. Men’s speed bikes 21-gears with free wheel and crossbar. Sizes: 64 / 60 / 56 “sloping” cm. Unfortunately, helmets are not provided, and you will need to bring your own to use.

At our cycling holiday we are committed to the safety of our travellers. Therefore, we always recommend wearing a helmet when on your cycling holiday!

Bike Hire Insurance 

This cycle tour benefits from insurance against rental bike theft and damage included in the price of the holiday. Please make sure that you lock up the bike and leave it in the correct place in the hotel. We kindly ask you to treat your bicycle hire as if it was your own bike, so that it can be used again in the future. Any neglect treatment of the bike will exempt you from cover.

We advise you to ensure that you have adequate travel insurance for your cycling holiday prior to arrival.

Electric Bike Hire 

Why not upgrade your cycling experience to an E-Bike? One of the biggest benefits of electric bicycles is that they can help riders go further with the same amount of leg power. Indeed, using a power assisted bike is a great way to go on a cycling holiday while giving your legs a slight rest, and it will help you smooth out inclines or longer days on the saddle. Each E-Bike features an LCD display, removable batteries for easy charging, and assistance up to 25 km/h. They have a range of around 120 km for each full charge.

E-Bike upgrade prices vary per tour, but if you require any more information about the bike hire and electric bikes, please get in-touch with us on 0161 703 8161.

We’re enthusiastic cyclists, so we don’t underestimate the role of a well-planned, meticulous itinerary with comfort at the top of our list, through inspiring scenery. The pace of your break and the distances you cover are up to you, this means you can be as active or relaxed as you wish and enjoy every minute of your cycling holiday!
