Hi,

I live to the West of the Peaks (South Manchester). I go biking in the lake district and around Manchester quite a bit, but one of my mates has to borrow a bike so often go to places with decent MTB hire.

Is there anywhere good in the peak district to hire bikes? I seem to remember there being one in New Mills but can't find any info online!

Ideas would be great!

    There's a shop opened in the garden centre between Hope and Bamford who hire.I put a link in a thread a few weeks ago but can't seem to find it on google.

    Are you both talking about the same place?

    18 don't appear to do hire bikes, just demos @ £40 a go, albeit on very nice bikes!

    There seems to be a shortage of bike hire places in the peaks!

    Brilliant, thanks!

    They could really do with some more internet advertising!

    I'll check them out when I'm up there in a few weeks!

    I think they've only been open a few weeks.
    The web-page was still under construction last month :)

    There is also a new place at the Chee Dale end of the Monsal Trail:
