I’m leaving from Le Puy en Valey to SJPD and from there on to Santiago de Compostela. I want to walk more than I ride, but, from time to time I would like to ride 100-150 in a day.. maybe two. Is there a service that can return the bike back to where I picked it up??
You should be able to rent a bike at Burgos and return it at Leon with little problem. Ask here. There are likely many forum members who can recommend bicyclerental places in Burgos.
It affects how you pack. But, you can always use the Correos to ship unneeded items (while biking) ahead to...
There is only one with a white Hedgehog as a profile photo and our black dog has my main photo . No worries it’s going on eBay when we arrive back in the uk . I only posted it on here to try help someone. When we have travelled around the world on our motorcycles a few times we have sold and...
Check out cycling-rentals. At €330 for a two week MTB rental, they might have one of the better rates out there. I’ve dealt with them a couple times and have been pleased with my interactions with Didi here in the States.
Welcome to the forum.
For bikerental 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!
Late to this thread. Hope this helps. Besides flying with my bike, I have rented at locales around the world. I prefer to bring my bike. I agree with Peregrinopaul, and adding on, I have learned not to expect the same performance from a bikerental as my own bike. On a near top of the line Santa...
WOW Well done and good luck "RESPECT". I am 67 and will do my first cycle camino in July. Although I use to be a regular cyclist in my younger days, I also opted for an E-Bike from Bicigrino. If I can get enough training miles in the legs and bum, I might still change it to a regular MTB.
Hello
I have walked Caminos and other trails in Spain for 8 of the last ten years beginning in 2013 at the age of 74. For all except last years time on the Norte I carried my own backpack. (big mistake not doing it this time)
Now at the age of 84 I am planning to rent a bicycle and ride from...
Hi Eoin
Definitely don't stay in Orisson - you'll be amongst slow-laners (absolutely no offence intended) who you will never see again and, you'll use up one of your precious days unnecessarily. SJPP isn't really an optimal place for you to start anyway. But if you are absolutely set on it, you...
We leave for Le Puy in 4 weeks. One of the pilgrims has a knee “issue”. Does anyone know if and where we can rent an e-bike to ride to Conques? Will there be taxis or Ubers available? Thank you.
According to this new story, you can walk to/across the bridge, but can't go any further because the new riverside boardwalk is not complete in the next municipality beyond Lisbon (Loures).
Translation:
"There is a new landmark in the landscape between Lisbon and Loures
The Trancão cycle...
This is just a guess but if you contact one of the private albergues or hotels in Logrono, you might be able to work something out.
There are also bicyclerental places that you might be able to work something out.
Or Instead of riding to Logrono, maybe leave your bike at a parking spot in...
Cycling Camino Portugues Coastal. Porto to Santiago de Compostela Jun-Jul 2023
Our small group of four has grown to nine people. I was comfortable organizing accommodation, bikerental, and luggage transfer for four. With nine people on board I would like to give it to professionals.
I am aware...
I'll direct you to an older post of mine about bicyclerentals (2019). The links may lean heavily to rentals near Burgos. I've never rented nor rode bikes on the camino so I can't give any recommendations...
I would definitely rent a bike there, unless the cost is prohibitive. I used cycling rentals. Be sure to get a bicycle trail map (roads adjacent to the trail) (trying to ride in sand and gravel is a nightmare). You MUST look for a local biking area, with hills, to practice--and work up to at...
Thank you for your response. We are attempting to complete the Camino in 25 days as we only have 4 weeks then we all have to be back in Canada. So, we may have to rush a bit.
I bicycled the Meseta last year. I had started the Camino as a walker but ended up buying a used bike in Pamplona because of an injury that prevented me from walking.
The Meseta is quite easy and a bit fun to ride because it’s mostly flat. You can make quite big distances on parts of it. It...
Hello, I am looking for anybody interested in joining me April 2023. Start day is flexible. If your interested post me a message.
Route: Camino Frances
My plan now is to take as much of the walking route as possible but ride the road when available. This will leave the trail for the walkers...
