High-quality rental bikes for all tastes

Rental bikes on our cycling trips

On our cycling trips, you can choose to rent different types of bicycles. They are always robust and of high quality, to handle many cycling trips during a season. Since we cover a variety of destinations, brands and models vary, but bicycle types and equipment are similar regardless of trip. Read more about our bicycles and how they are equipped below.

What bike types can I choose on the cycling trip?

For each trip we specify which bike types are available, and you can easily choose the one you want when booking the trip. Below we provide general information about how the different types differ and what they look like.

Touring bike

A friendly bike type with upright seating position and sometimes low step-through for everyone (unisex). Often has 7 gears, hand brakes front/back and sometimes also foot brake. Suitable for relaxed cycling on asphalt "with the baguette in the bike basket".

Hybrid / Trekking bike

The most common and optimal bike type for most people. It combines the comfort of the touring bike with a somewhat more active seating position that works for longer days. It has straight handlebars, comfortable saddle, good adjustment options, 21-27 gears and hand brakes front and back (more efficient than foot brakes, which are uncommon abroad). It handles both asphalt and light gravel. If low step-through is important to you, please mention this when booking the trip.

E-bike

The magic of modern e-bikes is that they can both lower the difficulty level of the trip and even out differences between travel companions. The base is often touring or trekking/hybrid. The motor only drives when you pedal and provides as much assistance as you choose yourself. The battery lasts all day if you don't ride with maximum assistance, and you can charge your bike at all accommodations. Charger is naturally included.

Road bike

The enthusiast choice is a light and fast bike with drop handlebars and high-class components. They are available with both aluminum frame and carbon fiber frame. In some cases, e-bikes of road bike model are offered.

Gravel bike

This sporty adventure bike resembles the road bike (drop handlebars and sporty geometry) but has thicker tires and sometimes some front suspension, to also handle gravel and rougher asphalt with fine comfort. In some cases, e-bikes of gravel model are offered.

Children's bike or bike trailer

If you want to raise the next generation to the joys of cycling trips, we can often offer children's bikes or bike trailers. Ask us about your specific destination!

Bring your own bike

Hopefully your steed is a bit sharper than the one in the picture, but you can always bring your own bike as special baggage on flights or trains. Please specify this when booking.
