Bike Rental Lake Maggiore, Lugano, Varese

Dear guest,
depending on availability and size we provide a bike rental service of different brands and models.

    Basically we have two options for bike hire equipped with mechanical shifting:

  • Road bike - aluminium frame and carbon fork (See below),
  • Road bike - full carbon fibre frame and fork (See below).

If you apreciate we can set up the bike to your fit.
When you sign up for a cycle tour, we'll ask you to fill out our:

Bike Fit Form

 

Then send it by email to:

Booking

 

Such a way you can have the bike sets up, ready to tackle the road when you arrive to the hotel.

We also ask to have a little bit of flexibility on bike fit, as bike measurements and set up may not always be exactly like your own bike at home.
Keep in mind that one bike will never fit exactly like another, every frame is different.

Each rental bike comes with bottle cage, tube, tyre levers and a mini pump included in the hire fee.

We suggest to bring your own helmet, pedals, shoes and water bottles. There are too many types of pedals/cleats, therefore we suggest that you bring your own pedals and cycling shoes. Anyway we can provide flat pedals.

We provide the rental service  first and foremost to the guests who stay in our hotels.
However we'll see what we can do if you stay elsewhere.

Bike fit is of the utmost importance to us!

Help us to set-up your rental bike according to measurements of your own bike at home.

  • FC = Saddle height over bottom bracket. Center of the bottom bracket to top of the saddle along the centerline of the seat tube.
  • MA = Distrance between the nose of saddle and the center of the handlebars along the horizontal axis with the drop included.
  • AB = Saddle setback over bottom bracket, also called saddle fore/aft position. You can use a plumb line or a door frame for measuring the saddle setback (SEE_THE_PIC). To take the measurement drop a plumb line over the center of the bottom bracket. Measure from the plumb line to the nose of the saddle while your bike is on a level surface.
  • GM = Handlebars height. Center of front wheel axle to center of handlebars along the vertical axis. (Use the outside center of the quick release to make life easy).
  • You can also compute the “drop” TM (which is even more exact) by measuring the difference between the height of the top of the saddle from the ground and the center of handlebars from the ground along the vertical axis. We prefer this method when possible.
  • LD = Other measurement.
  • LE = Other measurement.

    The area around Lake Maggiore has plenty for cycling routes and climbs along the side valleys especially in the upper part of the lake. The northern part of the lake is more sedate with the lake road typically wider than around Lake Como, and quieter than Lake Garda.

  • Road cycling routes Lake Lugano
    Lake Lugano is nestled between Lake Maggiore and Lake Como and lies partly in Switzerland and partly in Italy. It's surrounded by numerous villages, rolling routes and mountains offering splendid viewpoints.

Bike rental - advantages

  • Not having to worry about taking your bike apart, packing it up nicely in a bike bag or case, lugging it half-way across the world and building it back up again. And most of all, knowing you won't be running the risk of damaging your bike while in transit.

  • If you're planning on traveling before or after the biking portion of your trip, renting a bike allows you to get up and go as you please without having to worry about carrying a cumbersome case around with you or finding safe storage space for your bike.

  • You want a bike for a colleague or a friend visiting the Italian-Swiss Lake District.
