From March through to October our basic hours are 8.30 to 6.30pm. We are predominantly a delivery and collection service so it’s always advisable to contact us prior to visiting.

All bikes need to be collected or returned by 17.30hrs on your last day.

Can you provide insurance for the rental period?

We offer an optional insurance which can be taken out for a very small competitive premium which in most cases is far less than the excess on your personal holiday insurance. This covers you for minor accidental damage to the bikes paintwork, components, wheels, tyres etc to a value of €200 . We cannot insure you against theft, total loss of the bike, major crash damage, punctures (Inner Tubes €5) or 3rd party liability. Please check your own holiday insurance policy as most of will cover you in the unfortunate event of a major accident or theft.

What happens if I have a Mechanical issue or puncture while out riding?

All bikes come with a small saddle bag, 2 x spare tubes, tyre levers and pump so you will be able to fix the puncture and get on your way. If you experience any other mechanical issues while out riding just contact us and we will do our best to rectify the situation. If our tubes are used we charge €5 per tube.

We can highly recommend www.bicirescue.me for breakdown cover.

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.

What do I do if the bike I'm interested in is not showing available on the site?

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.

What if I need to cancel my reservation?

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.

Like the bike you've hired! Would you like to purchase a new one or a used hire bike?

Please contact us as you can include your Hire cost towards the purchase of the bike or wheels from our U.K. Store Langsett Cycles in Sheffield. We often sell a number of Hire bikes at the end of the season at vastly reduced prices, contract us with the model and size your interested in.

Is there a group ride or guide available ?

There’s a group ride that departs every morning from the famous Tolo’s Bar and Restaurant which is located opposite the beach in Puerto Pollensa. It’s generally around 70km at a steady pace and obviously includes a cafe stop. Meeting times varies depending on the time of year.
