Hi All,

Has anyone got any idea if it is possible to rent a road bike in the south of France, near Cannes?? I'm staying in a villa in Mandelieu and am not able to take my own bike down there, but really would like to have a bash around the hills back from the coast!! I'd much prefer a proper road bike instead of a hybrid or anything like that....

Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated... :D:D:D:D

Cheers,

Nick

    Hi Nick,

    Cycles Antipolis in Antibes quite near the railway station

    They usually have road bikes for hire for about €30 a day. They are closed on Mondays.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for that Velojlp!!

    There is no mention of bike rental on their website (from what i can tell; my french is not as good as i would like!!).

    Do you know if they have a different website for rentals or something like that??

    Cheers,

    Nick

    Nickodemus,

    I was in the shop yesterday and mentioned what you wanted. They asked how tall you were and that's impossible to guess over the internet. The selection of bikes for hire is pretty good. I saw a Wilier, two Looks, and lots of Specializeds.

    Why not send them a fax in English and see how you get on?
