Going to Toulouse in a week or so on a rugby weekend. I have an extra day due to flights so a day on the bike would be better than another day on the pop.

Anyone know of any bike hire in Toulouse? I've googled & not come up with much.

    There's a subsidiary of the Decathlon sports chain store called 'Ontario', just off the A64 autoroute at Portet sur Garonne. It's 10 miles from the city centre.
    Boulevard de l´Europe
    31120 Portet sur Garonne
    Tel : 05 62 20 72 50
    They used to rent Road & MTB a couple of years ago, but I have a feeling it might just be MTBs nowadays.
    Between me & Eddy Merckx we've won pretty much everything worth winning on a bike.

    Thanks for the advice

    Just had this response from Ontario (Decathlon)

    Bonjour Andrew !
    I'm sorry, we have stopped hiring bicycles 2 years ago...
    I think you'll find what you need at "La maison du vélo, 12 Boulevard Bonrepos, 31000 Toulouse" +335 34 40 64 72 ‎
    This shop is just in front of Toulouse Matabiau railway station...
    All my team wishes you a pleasant journey in "Sud-Ouest".
    Regards,
    Sportivement,
    JEAN NOEL, de votre magasin de ONTARIO..

    I'll let you know how I get on

    Latest update from 'La Maison du Velo'

    Dear Andrew,

    We only rent city & folding bikes.

    The best to cycle along the Canal are mountain bikes.
    There is one shop next to our association, which name is Vélo station: 21, Boulevard Matabiau (09 64 06 05 93)

    If you choose to rent a bike at the “Maison du vélo”, you must subscribe to the association (10€/year) and we offer in you one month of rent.
    It is also necessary to bring an Identity piece and a deposit (for example with a credit card).

    Yours sincerely,

    La Maison du vélo
    12, Boulevard Bonrepos
    31000 Toulouse
    Tel: 05 34 40 64 72 - Fax: 05 61 71 36 72
    www.maisonduvelotoulouse.com

    I'll keep trying
