    Free cancellations if requested 24 hrs before your booking starts

    For cancellations less than 24 hrs before your booking starts, we will only charge you for the first day and refund the rest of your booking.

    Our bikes are serviced after every ride and checked before every booking to ensure they are up to the task. But no matter how rigorous the maintenance, mechanical breakdowns are sometimes inevitable to mountain biking.

    Every one of our bikes is equipped with a trail side repair kit to get you going again; check out our pre-ride preparation section.

    We offer free bike delivery and collection if you are within our service zone. Check out the coverage map here.

    If you're unsure whether you qualify, send us a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
