Mountain bike hire guide
Why hire a mountain bike?
A mountain bike is a type of bike which is perfectly suited for cycling offroad, as its wide tyres allow to cycle through mud and sand while its suspension limits the impact of rough terrain. Hiring a mountain bike for a day of offroad cycling can be a great family activity or team-building with colleagues. When you plan to cycle exclusively on paved roads, hiring a road bike can be a better option.
