I'm from the Preston area in Lancashire, uk but now live in France. I'm Training for the Marmotte this summer. Due to an already booked and paid for holiday and now a bereavement in my family, I will be out of training for 3 weeks from the end of May(need to sort out things in uk). As I'm heading to Greece and then straight back to uk I can't carry my bike all the way with me but need to keep the training up during this period. So, does anyone know where I could Hire a bike for 10 days or so in the lancs area? (forgot to mention, my wife needs one too!)

Thanks
:)

  • A lot of the bike shops in preston have shut down in recent years, the only one i can think may hire bikes out is Leisure lakes on rhe way to southport. Although Dave at broadgate cycles does have some decent second hand ones in, i don,t think he hires them but it might be worth a shot they,re good lads to deal with.

  • Last year the local sports centres (sefton , merseyside) did free bike hire.
    Might be worth checking out the preston area also.
    I suspect they will have baskets on the front or other hideous details.
