Luxembourg - bike hire?

I'm in Luxembourg at the moment. Seems like a great place to ride a bike - very little traffic, what there is travels quite slow, fairly flat, really good road surfaces and a population who's only sporting heroes are cyclists. Went on a little ride yesterday on a borrowed MTB and saw more cyclists than motor vehicles, and what motor vehicles I saw drove with extreme consideration. Nice!

Thing is, only places I can find to hire bikes that have english info and/or websites seem to just rent out mountain bikes or electric assist hybrids.

Anyone know the place, and know if there's somewhere I can hire a reasonable SS/fixed bike or road bike?

Failing that, any Luxembourg residents on here can lend me anything? Happy to pay.

Ebay something, should be plenty of old peugeot bikes on ebay belgium/france in places near. If you need more than one bike it won't work tho. This came up on a search for "velo" with distance from luxembourg, is about half way up the border with belgium.

Found a place called Velo en Ville in the city centre - as well as the obligatory hybrids and mtbs they also have a small selection of decent if somewhat heavily used road bikes and also tandems!

Been out and about on a slightly rattly 105 equipped Trek today which is costing me 12 euros for 24hrs and picking up a tandem tomorrow which I think will cost us 20.

Friendly if English lacking staff, definitely recommend if you find yourself in lux and want something to knock about on. No fixehbeiks though, unfortunately.

Thread dredge, i’ll be going to Luxembourg soon, was wondering if anyone has also been recently and can recommend some bike related activities?

Will also be looking to hire. Would like to get my hands on a tandem if possible :)

Dunno if you already went... if not, drop me a line. Not sure you could get a tandem but might be able to point you at some places to ride

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
