We had a great ride from the V&A waterfront district to Sea Point pavilion....Bikes in fair condition and sanitised before handing over (makes the handles a bit gooey).Took a while to get accustomed to back pedal breaks which made things a bit dangerous to get started but most pedestrians and drivers were pleasant and accommodating.We were fortunate to choose a beautiful day for it.

It is easy to sign up as a client and the staff was very friendly explaining the everything.I hired an e-bike, and unfortunately both the batteries they had in store were only half charged.I managed to get to Camps bay with the battery almost completely drained, but I went at a leisurely pace. I used the battery power sparingly on the way there.On the way back to V and A, via Geneva drive, the battery was finished.I turned around and dropped the bike off at the camps bay location and took an Uber home.Not sure if I would have made it all the way to the top of Camps bay drive, but I would have liked the reassurance of the e-bike helping me get there without straining myself too much.TLDR this is a great option to explore the coast at a leisurely pace. You dont need an e-bike to get all the way to Camps bay if your bike has gears you will be fine, so opt for a cheaper option if you are only going one way.

What an amazing staff. Rented a mountain bike! Extended the rental easily by Mail contact. The bike was just perfekt. I dropped my credit card at the counter accidently. The staff contacted me and kept the card safely. Amazing honest act. Thank you guys!!! Will keep recomending you.

Easy to hire bikes and drop them off in different locations (e.g we cycled from V&A to Camps Bay). Friendly service and reasonably good value – we paid about 120 rand per bike for 1.5 hours.Beware that the touring bikes don’t have standard brakes on handlebars (instead you have to push pedal back to slow down) and it takes a bit of getting used to. There are options for better bikes with better brakes and more gears if you’re prepared to pay more.

Super convenient to rent these bikes, there are several places we can drop them off including Camps Bay and the Waterfront. The time is calculated and stopped as soon as we start from one point to another.Bikes are good qualities and this is one of the best ways to get around the boardwalks that border the ocean.All the staff are very friendly, regardless of the drop-off point.I highly recommend!

Very good service. Bikes too. There could be a better cycle path when leaving the V&A until reaching the sea point. Then it gets better.
