My friend and I will be cycling part of the Camino in July, 2012. We will be
bringing our own S&S coupled, short wheelbase, recumbent bikes. Our wives are
coming, and we will rent a car and do additional vacationing.
We would like to be able to transport our bikes on a bike rack on the back of...
I have very recently arranged my flights to Spain in order to bike the camino. I will be starting from Pamplona in mid-April and ending in Santiago at the end of April. I have been in contact with a company called Cycling-Rentals that will arrange for a bicycle to shipped to my lodging in...
Hi,
I'm planning to fly to Pamplona in October and complete the journey to Santiago de Compostela in 12 days. A couple questions I would like to pose to others who've done a similar trip:
Rent bike or buy? I'm leaning towards renting because it sounds like the quality of rentalbike is...

i dreamed of doing the camino by foot for some time

Three of us will spend the month of May traveling the camino from St. Jean Pied du Port to Santiago. We would like to cover the middle part of the camino on bicycles. Is it possible to rent bikes in one town and return them in another? Is it better to ride on the camino or on nearby roads. Do...
We have a limited time to walk from Pamplona to Santiago 32 days. As a backup option, I was wondering if we could rent bikes for the flatter stages for just a week in order to cover miles in less time or to catch up our stages of behind schedule . We don't want to miss anything, but not sure...
Biking the Camino (any advise on bikerental companies)
Going to arrive in St jean pied de port on 11th August and cycle to Santiago and depart on the 26th August. Hopefully that will give me enough time to cover the distance..
I plan to bike the Portuguese Coatal Camino starting in Porto during mid-May. I’m wondering which bikerental company has the best reputation for both service and having quality sound bikes. People who have rented bikes before please share those experiences, both good and bad.
Thank You!!!
My girlfriend and I cycled the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. It took us 6 days and we finished on May 30, 2022. This trip report is for anyone who may be interested in doing the same.
To frame this properly my girlfriend, Cheri, and I are avid long-distance cyclists...
Hi there,
My daughters' father will meet us here and there as we walk the Camino Frances this March/April. We will all start at SJPP, then he will leave the Camino for business travel and rejoin the girls and I later.
He is a double-amputee and would like to ride a bike while the girls and...
hi there, couple walking the Camino Frances mid-August/16, and looking to rent bicycles from around Fromista through to Astorga where the terrain is flatter and hopefully easier to bike. Any recommendations for rental company would be appreciated!
many thanks,
Ray and Sheila
I am flying Delta in May. Any tips or tricks? Maybe ship it ahead as freight? Any Santiago bike shops that can box bike for trip back, or where I can buy a box to repack it? The main delta flight should be able to handle the oversize box, but can the short leg using a partner airline (air...
What's a good option for a bikerental for this stretch? The places I've found online so far have required a 7 day rental, something I'm not willing to put out for.
Hi all,
I am arriving at Málaga by plane and will have my bicycle with me as special luggage. I have to pick up a car from car rentals, since we're "really" starting from Sevilla.
Now, how do I do this logistically, since I wanted to keep my bike in the box for not staining the car with...
I wanted to bike the camino but bringing my bike from the US was just not possible due to complex logistics & $400 in cost, notwithstanding any damage to my bike. So I've decided to head to the decathlon in Pamplon and buy a bike instead for 200 euro.
I looked on the ALSA site and they say they...
Hi everybody,
I'm planning to walk the camino frances this summer. However, I only have about 25 days. At first, I thought I'd simply start in Logrono or Burgos, but I've heard that the first part from Saint Jean-Pied-de-Port to Puente la Reina is one of the most beautiful parts. Also, I...
I am continuing on from Burgos and am thinking about trying to "rent" a bicycle to do the Meseta piece since I am slow hiker and have to be back home by end of June. Anyone know anything about a three day bikerental idea?
Thanks,
Rich3909
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.
