Frequently asked questions

A full carbon road bike, a helmet, and a puncture kit are included. We also included a coffee (half way). We pick you up at your hotel within a 10 km range of Stellenbosch and Paarl. We only pick up cyclists from Cape Town when we start the ride in Cape Town.
This should be clarified at the time of making your booking. We have some high-quality Trek and Specialized carbon road bikes for rent. All bikes are well maintained. You are welcome to ask us any questions about your rental, like, how old is the bike, what gearing does it have, and what spares and accessories (pedals, helmet, water bottle, inner tubes etc.) are included. If in doubt, we send you a photo of the bike we have allocated for you.
To confirm your reservation, you will need to pay the total amount in full. You have the option to pay by credit card (Pay Fast) or by EFT (electronic bank transfer). We accept cash for last minute bookings, but your ride is only confirmed once full payment has been made.
We will ask you to sign a form when collecting the bike, making you fully liable for any damage and we require an imprint of your credit card as a form of ‘security’ against damage and theft. Please read the small print and make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.
