Cycle hire at LM

[BigRobbo]

Does anyone know of any cycle hire outfits that operate during the week prior to the race? One of ours heard of a "popup" bike hire but this has not been confirmed as a real thing.
Any help much appreciated

What exactly are you looking for?

[BigRobbo]

To hire bicycles of the pedal variety

[leyorkie]

I suppose I asked for that.
Carbon fibre racing bike?
Sit up and beg shopper with a basket?

[leyorkie]

So your sorted now, good.
I was going to offer some of the bikes that I have here, and if they are not suitable suggest some options in Le Mans.
But you are obviously not a cyclist if you just want bikes of the pedal variety, that’s like saying any car is the same as any other car of the 4 wheel variety.

[BigRobbo]

Ok I am a cyclist but others in the group are not! We are looking to hire bicycles of the pedal variety suitable for adults. Mountain bikes or similar not a racing bike style due to racing wheels looking silly with a 19st ex squaddie on it. We won't be going too far probably from Arnage village to mulsanne village via the back roads, any sensible help greatly appreciated

Delivery or pick up from Eccomoy if you can physically get them yourself

Or if you're feeling like taking a chance try one of the Pawn shop chains, similar to Cash Convertor?
There was one at La Fleche but not sure now?, for the life of me I can't remember the name of it, had a selection of BSO's

Remember a lock for a little bit of security
.... and the brakes will be reversed from UK bikes 😳

[leyorkie]

OK then how many and week before the race only,or during the race. Don’t think security is a problem before the race week.
