    Best to start just building up a cost by looking at Easyjet, searching Google for accomodation and using the search function on Bike Radar - use Mallorca as a starting point - there should be plenty of advice on bike hire.

    Puerto Pollensa is pretty good as a place to stay.

    Lots of places to rent so I would only take your bike if you want to have your own bike out there (and already have a bike box). Pollensa is the main base, you're in the mountains within about five miles or so.

    I lifted some routes from this web site, the mallorca classic climbs route is great. http://mallorcacycling.co.uk/tag/hard-routes/

    May be ask a grown up to arrange everything for you, or go to a travel agent.

    Search for max heurzler, they do bike hire and all inclusive. Rad sport also do bike hire as do loads of other companies.

    Not seen anywhere that hires out Elizabethan costumes though.

    The best cycling base on the island is Port de Pollença. For bike hire look up Rent March or Pro Cycle Hire.

    From there you can do flat rides but it's right close to the hills over to Söller etc, and a nice hill right next to the town.

    For accommodation impossible to say depends on what you want as there's options for all sorts of budgets.

    PS Your post was exceptionally poorly drafted which is why my learned friends are taking the wee ;)
