Description
Our mountain bike: an Orbea hardtail on 29in wheels, with a suspension fork and disc brakes. The one to take if your holiday riding is half road, half dirt.
It moves between surfaces without complaint: tarmac to the trailhead, then the sea-cliff paths around Cape Greco, the tracks behind Achna Dam, and the forest roads in the Troodos foothills. Big wheels roll over the loose limestone that makes eastern Cyprus rocky rather than technical.
Mountain bike hire in Protaras is thin on the ground. Most shops here rent road bikes or beach cruisers. If you want a bike that can actually leave the tarmac, this is it, in medium, large and extra large.
What comes with the bike
- Floor pump, a spare inner tube and tyre levers. They come back with the bike, and the tube is charged at €10 only if you use it.
- Free fitting of your own pedals. Bring your shoes and pedals, or hire a pair from us.
- Bottle cages are on the bike. Bottles, a saddle bag and a helmet are not supplied. A helmet and pedals can be added to the booking by the day.
- Delivery and collection to your hotel or apartment: Protaras €20, Ayia Napa €25, Larnaca €60. Prices are each way, per trip, not per day. The price covers the van and the first bike; each extra bike on the same trip adds €5. Or collect the bike from the shop for nothing, 10:00–11:00.
Good to know
- Minimum rental is three days, and they are full days: the bike comes back the morning after your last one.
- Staying a week? 10% off the bike from 5 days. It comes off in the booking form on its own, with no code to enter. It applies to the bike, not to delivery or the extras.
- We are open Monday to Saturday. A hire starts and ends on an open day. Ride through Sunday if you like; a hire whose last day is a Saturday comes back that Saturday.
- Book the size ahead. We hold one bike per frame size, and in season they go.
- Deliveries and pick-ups run 09:00–10:00 in Protaras, Ayia Napa and Larnaca. Collecting from the shop, or dropping the bike back, is 10:00–11:00 (by 13:30 on a Saturday return).
- A refundable damage deposit of €100 is taken when you collect the bike.
- No water bottle is supplied. Bring your own, and plenty of it in summer.
- The bike comes back clean, dry and working, with the pump, tube and levers that went out with it. A used tube is replaced at €10.
Compare it with the rest of the fleet on the bike rental page, or ride it with a guide who knows the roads on one of our guided cycling tours in Cyprus.
