    7-/21-speed-bikes

    You can choose between 7-speed-bikes with back pedal brake (Unisex) or 21-speed-bikes with freewheel (women or gents bikes). We can offer the bikes in different frame sizes.


    E-bike

    By popular demand, we have now invested in a considerable number of e-bikes, much favoured by cyclists who love the great Outdoors, but prefer to let the bike take the strain.

    With an electro bike every bike tour is a breeze! If you had few opportunities to cycle over the last weeks or if you are not sure concerning your fitness, but also with physical disabilities, every bike ride is a treat! The shiftable, low noise electric drive of our modern E-bike relieves you of some of the work and increases the pedal force up to 3 times ... So you can now book a bike tour together with cyclists who have different fitness level. Acclivity can be handled easily.

    A note to our customers: Electric bikes are a great thing! However, due to their characteristics (high weight + high speed) they should only be booked by very experienced and safe cyclists with a good sense of balance. E-bikes are not appropriate for persons who do not ride bikes frequently.


    Private bicycles

    You are welcome to bring your own bicycle. It is adapted especially to your needs. Do not forget to bring a repair kit with all necessary tools such as: keys, reserve tube and lock. Please check your own bicycle for operability upon arrival.


    Equpiment

    All rental bikes are equippped with a two sided saddle bag (incl. reperature kit).

    Beautiful countryside tour

    Very good bicycles. They required some service at the start but the cycle rental company provided. The setting of the hotel was central and on the rad path. The food was excellant at the hotel.
