Larnaca · the early van
Bike rental in Larnaca
Road bikes and a hardtail mountain bike, driven over from our shop in Paralimni and handed over at your hotel in Larnaca between 06:00 and 07:00, so you can be riding by seven. We collect in the same hour on your last day.
€25a day
Delivered to your hotel in Larnaca: €60 each way, €120 there and back.
Where you ride from Larnaca: inland and uphill
The east coast, where our shop is, is almost flat. Larnaca is different: head inland and the road climbs towards the foothills of the Troodos. If you came to Cyprus to ride hills, Larnaca is the better base.
- Pano Lefkara: the lace-making village in the hills, and the climb on this side of the island.
- Choirokoitia: the Neolithic settlement, a UNESCO World Heritage site, on the way up into the hills.
- Kornos, Athienou and Aradippou: inland village loops for the days you want distance rather than climbing.
- Off the tarmac: the hardtail mountain bike is in the fleet below. Ask us where to take it when you book.
The first three are routes Ramo has ridden and mapped, and each has its distance and climbing on its own page: cycling routes from Larnaca. Start early in summer. That is what the 06:00 delivery is for. And traffic drives on the left.
The bikes we deliver to Larnaca
Road bikes for the hills and the villages, and a hardtail mountain bike. Every bike is serviced between hires in our own workshop, and each frame size is booked as its own bike, so a size that shows as free really is free.

Get the size right before the van leaves
Larnaca is our longest drive, so a bike in the wrong size is not something we can swap before lunch. Two measurements and we will tell you which frame to book, and which of these bikes we have in that size.
Which frame size do I need?
Two measurements and we will tell you the frame size to book and which of our bikes we hold it in.
Worked out from your inseam × 0.665, the standard road-frame rule, measured centre-to-top. It is a starting point, not a bike fit: leg-to-torso ratio, flexibility and how you like to ride all move it. We check the fit at handover and adjust the bike before you leave with it.
One van, the first run of the day
Larnaca gets its own slot because it is the long drive: one run between 06:00 and 07:00, Monday to Saturday, before our shop opens. The price is for the run, not for each bike. Coming as a group? Book everyone onto the same morning and the same hotel, and the whole group shares one van.

- €60
- Collected again at the end
- €60
- One bike, delivered and collected
- €120
That is the price of the run, and it includes the first bike. Each extra bike on the same trip adds €5, so three bikes to one address, on one day, in one time window, is one van and one charge, not three. Split them across different days or different windows and it is a second van at the full price. It is charged once per hire, not per day.
Have a car? Collect the bike yourself from the shop at 285 Protaras Avenue in Paralimni. It costs nothing, and you can come on any open day before 12:00.
Before you book
- Three days is the minimum hire. For a drive this long, most people take the bike for the week.
- We are open Monday to Saturday, so a hire starts and ends on one of those days. You can ride straight through Sunday; it is only the handover that needs an open day.
- A €100 refundable damage deposit is taken at handover and returned when the bike comes back.
- Bring your own pedals and shoes if you have them: we fit them for free. If you would rather not travel with them, pedals are an add-on at the booking step.
Landing at Larnaca and wondering whether to bring your own bike? Here is the honest answer, including when the answer is yes: fly with your bike, or hire one.

A day on the east coast, or in the mountains
Our guided rides run on the east coast and in the mountains: a social morning through the villages, a long day for riders who want the distance, and a Sunday in the Troodos. If you want to work on something specific while you are here, coaching runs in person from the same shop.
