I've hired mountain and town bikes from Velos Joan in Ciutadella before - they have been very helpful and reasonably priced may be worth a try for road bikes.
Velos Joan
Sant Isidre, 32
07760 - CIUTADELLA DE MENORCA
ILLES BALEARS
Tlf: 971 381 576
Fax: 971 381 5760 -
try velos minorca in Mahon (and I spotted another shop in Cituadella)- they have a website.
Spanish only spoken in the Mahon shop. But pointing and pigeon spanish works. I hired a Battaglia aluminium frame with carbon forks road bike with basic Campag set - cost ?192 for 12 days in May this year.
If you have their address - when you arrive at Mahon airport visit tourist information desk and get a free street map of Mahon and island road map. Using these you'll may be able to locate hire shop (on inner ring road)and plan your routes.
Best of luck

this is a website recommended by another forummer on an earlier post this spring

I am off there in 2 weeks, maybe see you there!0 -
I too will be in Menorca in July, so thanks for this info; it saved me having to start a thread
the only question that I have left is about helmets in Spain. Are there any laws, regulations or general advice on their use ? Taking one by air will be a pain, but I assume that it's advisable.0 -
Helmets are compulsory in Spain now but apparently not enforced.
You don't need to wear them on a hill (going uphill) was how I heard it but that sounds incredible!0
