  • Are the brakes set up UK or continental style ?

    Unlike a lot of Hire companies on the island all our brakes are set up standard UK style i.e rear brake on the left.

  • Do your bikes come with pedals?

    Most customers like to bring their own pedals and shoes, we will obviously ensure that these are fitted correctly to your bike when we hand it over. We do have stock of most types of pedals, Shimano SPD-SL, SPD – MTB, Look Keo & Delta, Speedplay, Flats or with toe clips.

    If you require pedals adding to the bikes, add this information into the comments box when ordering or contact us with your name and email address and we will provide pedals for you. (Note there is a small additional charge to hire pedals).

  • Do I need a helmet or lights while riding in Majorca?

    By law you are required to wear a helmet while cycling in Mallorca. For hygiene reasons we suggest all customers use their own helmet but we have a number of helmets available for hire for €10

    It is not a legal requirement to use lights unless you are obviously cycling during darkness. We do advise customers to use at least a small rear light as there are a number of tunnels which are unlit (also remove sunglasses whilst in the tunnels !!) We do have small led rechargeable lights available to hire.

  • Can we provide energy nutrition, maps, Bottles & Co2 canisters?

    Yes If you’re traveling with hand luggage only it’s difficult to bring gels etc with you. We always have Bottles, Co2 canisters and a number of gels, bars etc from SIS & stealth on the van or in the shop. We also have available to purchase a laminated high quality map with nice quiet roads and routes highlighted.

    It generally means all those models are hired out, however if you contact us we maybe able to find you the same or similar bike for part or the whole of your visit.

    Cancellations up to 28 days before the commencement of the Hire Period will result in a full refund of the Hire Fee less a 20% administration fee. Cancellations within 28 days of the commencement of the Hire Period will forfeit the total Hire Fee.
