Can I bring my own bike?
Nothing compares with riding your own bike, therefore feel free to take it along. All the logistics of your bike case are been taken care of. We will collect it after you assemble the bike and deliver it back to you on your trip's end. You will also be responsible for assembling and disassembling as needed, or we may provide a mechanic (based on availability) for a minimum fee of €200.
What happens in case of a mechanical issue?
For this type of trip, you go unsupported. That means that you treat the bike yours and try to find solutions as you would have done in case you were using your own gear. You may need to rely on local bike shops or find your own shuttle to the next town. Therefore, we recommend this trip style only for those who have extensive experience and are able (plus willing) to deal with any unexpected issue. This is also part of the fun :-)
In case something cannot be overcomed, what can we do?
A severe mechanical issue, bad weather or an accident may result in you, or members of your group, ending your holiday earlier. Do not worry, our shuttle service is always available and we will make everything possible to resolve any situation the soonest. The only thing we will require is to put us on notice immediately, for us to check the shuttle's availability and come to rescue you.
What to pack?
We are going to equip you with tools and spares for your upcoming trip. Furthermore, we can also provide you with panniers that will enable you to get more of your gear with you (not for road bikes).
- Sunglasses: Greece is the country of light. It is quite certain that you enjoy many days of pure sunshine. For many, those brightness levels are too strong. A pair of good and dark sunglasses is ideal to make the cycling much more comfortable.
- Touring gear: anything that might prove useful for you; a rain jacket, a few extra cycling kits and your camping gear.
- Helmet: even though helmets are included in the bike rental, feel free to bring your own to ensure the maximum level of comfort.
- Water bottles: you may bring your own. Each bike will have two holders for you to carry plenty of water or any juice that keeps you going. In case you need to purchase our Camelbak Podium Chill 21oz (web) for 13 € / bottle.
