This is our favourite day out as a family! Bikes are brilliant and reasonably priced, staff are lovely, tail is beautiful and by starting at blackwell mill cycle hire you don't miss a thing as its right at the start. We also get to see dave the dog!

Great bike hire on the Monsal Trail - the staff were super friendly and the equipment was in good condition. Would definitely recommend.
