Cycling Country only uses top quality bicycles for your cycling pleasure. We have a range of hybrid bicycles, all selected for their handling, reliability and ease of use on both paved roads and cycle trails. Of course, you are free to bring your own bike, but if you do wish to use one of ours (included in all our tour prices), please notify us of your height when booking.
Bicycle features:
- A new TREK hybrid road bike fitted to your measurements with upright geometry for total comfort
- Light weight alumunium tubing
- Road wheels and tyres (700c)
- SHIMANO transmission
- 21-27 speeds with a wide ranging gear ratio (to get you up and down those hills at your own speed)
- Kevlar belted tyres to limit those annoying punctures
We only use quality products:
Each bicycle is tuned-up and prepared prior to your arrival on the tour. If you have any troubles with the bike, an experienced mechanic will be there to solve any problems.
Extras that are included:
- Waterbottle (new and yours to keep)
- Front handlebar bag (to carry your day items)
- Puncture repair and basic toolkit (don't forget the support van is never that far away to help you out)
- Map carrier
- Toe clips and straps (if requested)
- Lock
- Bell to move those sheep off the road
- We will also endeavour to fit your favourite pedals or saddle if requested
The Van
We have thought carefully about your comfort and pleasure when being transferred and as such have chosen Mercedes Benz as our prefered van. As the tours are fully supported, the van is an integral part of the trip.
The van will be out on the road everyday, sweeping the route, offering supplies and refreshments. If you don't like the look of the next hill or have just had enough for the day, jump in the van and watch the countryside whirl past from a relaxed, airconditioned setting.
It is possible for those non-cycling partners or friends to come along and ride in the van each day.
Each van is equipped to carry your luggage, bicycles, spares and of course you, giving you the abililty to travel in style and luxury when necessary. Although this is a cycling holiday, we have not forgotten about those times when a transfer is unavoidable.
We're included in the cycle holidays section on the travel-quest adventure holidays site which includes mountain biking trips, cycling vacations and holidays and tandem trips and tours
