Bike Hire

Our Bike Rental Options

We are pleased to offer rental bikes on many of our cycling tours for 2021. Your bike will be delivered to you on your arrival to your hotel and will be collected from you upon your departure. Our staff will assist you with any minor mechanical tweaks and ensure that the bike is fitted comfortably.

We will provide you with a mini bike pump, a saddle bag with spare tubes, tyre levers and a cafe lock. Please note that you have to bring your own helmet and of course cycling clothing. Pedals are available on selected tours, but please enquire for details in advance if you require them.

• Please read our terms carefully before renting a bike: please email us for details of the Sports Travel International bike rental terms and conditions

It’s very important to have the correct frame size for you. Roughly, we use this table: bike rental size guide (or this guide for Giant bikes), to work out sizes, but if you want to be 100% secure about what size you need, go to a professional cycle shop for a bike fitting, before you book a rental bike. You can contact us on +353 (1) 961 9362, or at info@sportstravelinternational.com, for more information, or if you want us to recommend a size.
