Please note

Due to the high demand over the summer season, we regret that we do not take forward bookings for bikes and equipment. On very busy days, equipment shortages may occur. Equipment is hired out on a ‘first-in’ basis and our friendly team will endeavour to meet your needs.
The person signing the hire agreement must be 18 years of age or over.
You may be asked to present identification.
For safety reasons, our equipment is not suitable for infants under 12 months. Maximum weight restrictions apply to child trailers and baby seats.
Bicycle helmets are required by law; these are supplied with all equipment hired.

Call out service

In the event of tyre punctures or other problems, our customers can phone our courtesy call out service. Our vehicle will come to you anywhere on the island and replace the faulty equipment to get you back on the road as soon as possible.

Great service

The Bike Hire building encompasses a full mechanical workshop for ongoing repairs and maintenance for the fleet (and, during the low season, offers a general repair service for guest’s own bikes.) Island maps, courtesy chilled fountain water and advice on cycling safely are also available.

However please note that we do not do private bike repairs from 1 Dec to 28 Feb each year.
