    Bicycle rental locations

    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...
