Bicycling to the coast

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?

IMG_20151022_160125.jpg 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.
