As far as I know there isn't.
The bike hub only have Giant Hybrids, better than a Switch Bike but still not really a fast road bike. I inquired last year when I needed a road bike for an event while mine was in for a repair.
There used to be a hire place on the A692 toward Consett but it's gone now.
You could try http://www.specialistcycles.co.uk/ in Durham. Failing that your best bet might be one of the smaller bike shops (Ride, Low Fell, K. B Cycles).I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.0 -
Ill give them a shot. A week with out riding will drive me mad0

I think M Steel Cycles in Gosforth have demo bikes to hire from time to time, might be worth a try.0

They don't look too bad, if it's just to get a cycling fix for a week, they'd do. Means the OP could go up to Parkhead if he was so minded.0 -
