Bike rental at Ponferrada

[mlsalita]

Hi,

Preparing my cycling pilgrim from Ponferrada to SDC, and realised how expensive the bike rentals are! Any advice on any cheaper rentals? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

For bike rental throughout Spain and Portugal look at the services of Bikeiberia and Cyclying rentals

Be sure to check out info in the forum section Bicycling on the Camino for many varied posts re cycling.

Good luck with your plans.
Wherever/however you do go
Buen camino!

You might consider buying the cheapest Rockrider hybrid from Decathlon (ST 50 or 100), then posting it on Wollapop and selling it in Santiago, or in a bike shop. Rockriders are tough as nails and bike rental charges on the Camino are in my opinion extortionate. Good luck, cycling the Camino is almost a good as walking it and far, far easier.

Super helpful! Agree, I was very surprised with the rates! I’ll check out this option. Very much appreciated!
