Aside from using the agencies who try to sell you everything under one roof (camping, tickets etc) does anyone know if / where you can hire bicycles at the circuit itself?

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.
I paid £50 for 2 days (bargain) from one of the "tour companies" who like to book everything for us, but as I won't be using any of them in future for anything I'll need to sort my own bicycles.

I'm booking my own stuff because I don't like the tour companies sites / package holiday / holiday camp set up. I now have everything sorted except bike hire.

I would be much better off bringing a bike. I looked at folding bikes, very cheap on ebay. I even considered building a bike I could bolt together etc.

The issue I've got is space, I'm in an XKR, my mate is in some sporty Lexus. 3 adults and 2 teenagers between the 2 cars. 5 bikes, how do you do it?

Bike hire is the simplest solution. I don't really want to sacrifice the drive down in my boring Passat estate just because I want to get p1ss3d when I eat out on the Mulsanne straight in the evening. Its only a 45 mins walk. However bike would be good for Friday pit lane walkabout and museum, as well as Saturday evening.

I too found bike hire in the town, but it would be a bit of hassle picking them up and dropping them off again.
Bike hire at the circuit ticks all the boxes. I'll be saving so much not using a tour company that I could probably afford to buy new bikes and just dump them :-).

Was the bike hire there at BSJ this year?
We were at BSJ...I never noticed any bike hire. All i came across was a big security zone inside the entrance.
Is the bike hire normally inside or outside the entrance? I wasn't looking out for it so may have missed it.

I think it's normally on the right just after security.... I think I saw it -but am not certain!
Thanks, i need it for 2019. I'll drive by next year and check them out

The hire place at Houx Annexe also rented those little kids scooter things, the French word for which, I learned, is Trottinette.
Might be handier for me, I'll check them out also
