BIKE HIRE IN CENTRAL BRISTOL

If you’re looking to hire a bike in Bristol, the UK’s most-bike friendly city, we’re here to help. Since Cycle the City launched in 2012, we’ve helped thousands of people find brilliant local routes, landmarks and attractions on our bikes.  Our hire bikes are  lightweight hybrids, with plenty of gears and puncture-proof tyres. They’re quick, easy to ride and are great for Bristol’s hills, or just pottering around the city.

We’re proud to use local business, Temple Cycles, for our hire fleet,  which means our bikes are built right here in Bristol – view our bikes.
