Hybrid Bike
Hybrids bikes are a cross between a mountain bike and a road bike. They have a relaxed riding position and are great for beginners and intermediate riders. A typical model is the Trek 7.3 FX with Shimano components and high-pressure road tires for better cycling efficiency than your typical hybrid.
Road Bike
Our road bikes are a racing style bike with drop handlebars. The road bikes are faster bikes than the hybrids with a less upright riding position and will be enjoyed by intermediate and experienced riders. A typical model is the Émonda ALR 5 with aluminium frame, carbon forks, and Shimano 105 components.
Premium Road Bike
Our premium road bikes are light and fast racing bikes. A typical bike in this category is the Specialized Roubaix: full carbon with Shimano Ultegra components. Experienced riders will appreciate the lightness, stiffness and mechanicsof these high-end bikes. NOTE: There is very limited availability for these bikes please check when booking.
eBike
Our eBikes are designed to give you a little extra assistance when climbing hills. The ride position is very similar to our hybrids. We typically rent iZip E3 bikes equipped with a 250W Shimano motor. If one rider in a couple is stronger than the other, an eBike can be a great choice for the less-strong rider.
Your Bike
If you have a favorite bike, we can help you get it to your destination as well as set it up once it is there. Please ask about options for bike shipping and assembly.
