We take pride in offering top-notch service and ensure that all our bicycles are in impeccable working condition before each rental. However, accidents happen, and we understand that wear and tear can occur. To guarantee a smooth and enjoyable experience for all our customers, we kindly request that you treat the bike with care and adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Inspect the bike before renting: Before you begin your ride, take a few moments to inspect the bicycle for any existing damage or issues. If you notice anything unusual, please inform us immediately to avoid any confusion later.
