If you aren’t bringing your own, it’s advisable to book a bicycle ahead of your trip. Vista are able to source some of the best racing bikes available from local suppliers. For exclusive discounts from local bike rental stores, contact us first!
In addition to racers, we also recommend hybrid tourers and e-bikes for road riding in this challenging terrain! The flattest roads are often the busiest, so if you’re looking for the safest and most beautiful routes, head uphill! So, if you’re not a strong cyclist, book yourself a bike with plenty of easy gears or even electronic assistance.
Fully-supported van assistance is an option for peace of mind too, if required.
