    We are there in May, so I asked this a few weeks ago and also did a lot of searching on google. Unfortunately, most of the stuff I found on the web was geared towards guided MTB tours and that kind of thing. I haven't round anything on road bike hire (yet)...

    There aren't that many roads on Menorca. I took my own mountain bike there a few years ago and rode right round the island. Not all strictly legal but I met a few locals who were very friendly if you were polite and used a bit of Spanish. Some of the superb beaches are approached by long dirt roads and there was no one on a lot of them. I'd go MTB.

    Hi,

    I've just come back from Menorca. I did some reseach there and found Bike Menorca, in Mehon. (http://www.bikemenorca.com) They hired me a Specialised Tarmac Elite for Euro20 a day plus 20 pick up and delivery. This is a great full carbon frame with 105. It even came with a computer.

    They also have good Mountain Bikes - I think Rock Hopper (Pro?). In intended to try the mountain bike but got hooked on the road stuff so never changed over.

    They look like a great bike shop and keep all the stuff you'll want - although for me, this was just hydration stuff.

    Just don't expect them to supply helmet, shoes lock etc - these guys are a bunch of cyclists who just happen to have a great bike shop too! I took my own pedals (just in case) but they did ask me what I wanted fitted.

    Oh - only John speaks English.

    And if you are there in August, it gets very hot in the middle of the day.

    Ian

    Talk to Andy, an English guy who has some road bikes and does not charge for delivery and pick up!
