Biking?

Just out of curiosity...

If for whatever reason I decide to bike the trail instead of walking it:

1. Are bikes available for rent in Ferrol?
2. Does biking qualify for getting the seals?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Hi Nino
I think a google search for bike rental shops in Ferrol might be a possible solution in answering your first question unless anyone here knows.
As for cycling to qualify for your compostela certificate you must prove you have cycled at least 200km on your camino (its 100km minimum for walkers).
Good luck should you take the plunge

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I presume you know this already, but the Camino Ingles from Ferrol is just a bit over 100 kms which means doing it on a bike would not qualify for the Compostela. I suspect it would also be a very short trip - perhaps only a couple of days.
