Bristol bike hire for memorial ride

I’m organising a memorial ride for a friend who passed away a few months ago, and am looking for a bike hire shop in Bristol.

We’ll be setting off from Bristol, and a few of the people riding will be travelling here for the weekend and do not have access to bikes. We’ll be riding about 50miles (incl Mendips) to his parent’s farm in Somerset, so ideally need something better than YoBikes! Probably need around 8-10 bikes...

Any ideas?

There is a place near temple meads that does hires, can't remember the name though.

Try Jakes Bikes near the coach station. They hire their own brand bikes out and they are super friendly!

i'm 90% sure that place is long gone. They only really did very cheap hire bikes anyway. To be honest there really isn't any where in Bristol, it's a question i get asked a lot at work. Best bet might be contacting Temple bikes and seeing if they could sort you with something

Give this place a call, he used to do large groups/ hen/ stag parties and is a flat 30min ride away

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
