Bike Rental with Sportive Breaks
There are various ways for you to bring your bike to one of our Sportives and Cycling Tours. You can of course fly with your bike or you can use a shipping service. If you want to remove all the hassle then renting a bike locally is a great option. Sportive Breaks offer a convenient bike rental service on selected Sportive weekends, tours, and weekenders when you book one of our packages. Your bike will be available for you on the first day of your trip and our local partner bike shop or one of our bike mechanics will assist with setting the bike up for you.

Insurance
Please make sure that your travel insurance covers you for your own bike or rented equipment if you rent a bike. Your bike is covered by Sportive Breaks for loss, theft, and damage whilst it is in our care or if one of our team members or suppliers has been negligent whilst looking after your bike.
Theft, loss, or damage to your own bike or rental bike whilst in your care are your responsibility and you must have adequate insurance to cover you for this. A bike storage room is made available to you on our tours and sportive weekends and other events, or you may be able to keep your bike inside your room with you. We can’t take any responsibility for loss, theft from the bike storage facility or any damages sustained inside the bike store unless one of our team members or suppliers are proven to be negligent. Bike transport may be included during one of our tours or Sportive weekends. We can only be held responsible for any loss, theft, or damage if these are because of mishandling by one of our team of partners. In all cases, your first recourse must be to claim on your travel insurance.
Bike Fit Sheet
When booking your bike with us we will ask you to provide us with some information.
With this information, we hope that your bike will be waiting for you at the beginning of a bike trip with a nearly perfect fit. On the first ride, you should listen to your body and see what adjustments need to be made. If you are on a guided tour with us, our mechanic will be on hand to assist you.
If you have had a professional bike fit done, then this document can also be provided.
