If you are coming on a BikeBus trip, and need bike hire (bike rental) you'll have to organise this yourself but the addresses of two bike hirers, all quite near where we start from, are given below. Please note that if the trip description says cycling with luggage, you'll need a bike with a luggage rack plus panniers, a helmet is a good idea too!
