Bicycling to the coast

Camino Frances, 2013, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 23
Has anyone had experience of walking to Santiago and then hiring a bicycle for the Finisterre / Muxia loop at the end? I've walked the Frances three times (but never walked on to the coast, though I took the bus last year) and it just struck me that this might be a nice way to end my next journey.
It feels like there must be places in Santiago to hire from, but it never occurred to me to look.
Anyone?

This is my third Camino to begin Sept. 26, 2016, only this time I will ride to the coast on a bike after I reach Santiago. When I get to the end, I might ride back to Santiago and donate the bike to American Pilgrim house or to a church where a monk may need some simple transportation. Anyway on my last trip to Camino, I met a younger couple who bought a bike from Carrefour superstore in Leon for 100 euros and rode to Santiago and donated the bike to the local charity. I am doing the same, buying a bike in Leon and donating the bike to charity after its use. If you have time, bike around and have fun. It's good exercise and you get to more places.
