anybody ever use Mike's? they look near to where we're staying and it looks like it's 5e per day after the first day which is 7e, 10e or 12e...hard to tell for sure :? but i don't know about a bike with no handbrakes, never tried that over there before...
The following is our price list for the back peddle model,

ad 2 € for bikes with gears and handbrakes.
:shock:

i 2nd that, ive used them twice now, last time i got a puncture, took it to them & they were happy to replace, ask for victor, can be a moody f**ker but insist on only giving him the 50e deposit (if he also asks for rental money) :D

i would definitly recommend mike's bikes, been too many times to count and they always hook us up with a great deal, the last time though our plane was delayed which meant mike's was closed so we went to the rental shop opposite noon - these guys just took the piss, more expensive, shit bikes even though they looked good and then even with the insurance if it got nicked the guy was talking about paying all in all a couple of hundred euros - crazy stuff

I'm going to try out recycled rentals tomorrow or on Thursday, unless someone has a better plan?

I've heard of bikes being sold around the RLD very cheaply. Is this still the case?

Recycled Rentals is a solid place to go. Just a normal bike with no signs or advertising. You may be able to buy a bike in the RLD but I can almost assure its stolen. RR also sells bike starting at 50E.
