Bike rental Central

Vacations on the banks of the Loire are synonymous with cycling along the river, thanks to the La Loire à Vélo itinerary. Renting a bike allows you to hit the road without the hassle of transporting it. In addition to standard bikes, Wheel Free offers electric-assist bikes, as well as folding bikes, both electric and non-electric. If you don't want to do a loop, the agency can take care of the return. On sale, you'll find both electric-assist and traditional bikes, of course.

A stone's throw from the station, the Détours de Loire shop offers bikes for the whole family to rent for half a day, a day or more. It has a wide range of machines and equipment and allows you to leave the bike at the finish point of the circuit, in one of the 7 agencies located between Orléans and Nantes. In Tours, you will find a repair workshop and a sales area. The agency also offers tailor-made tours in the Loire Valley, with equipment rental, accommodation, half-board and luggage transfer.

The Orleans metropolitan area has set up a self-service bicycle service: Vélo'+ for short-term rentals and Vélo'Tao for long-term rentals. 360 bicycles are available at 35 stations located in Orleans, Fleury-les-Aubrais and Saint-Jean-le-Blanc. The first half hour is free. Daily or weekly fees are modest and can be paid online or at one of the 10 terminals equipped with a credit card reader. A deposit by bank imprint is requested but not cashed.

What could be more healthy and rejuvenating than a bike ride in the Amboise valley? Especially since the latest section of the Loire à Vélo cycle route was recently inaugurated in the Amboise area. Rent a bike from Locacycle and explore the banks of the river. You can even cycle as far as Nantes! But you can also enjoy the Loire Valley and taste its wines. Yes, Locacycle is also a wine shop, a sort of tribute to Jacques Anquetil... In any case, the store is very nice and has been for over twenty years!

A few years ago, José's life changed and his Bicyclerie changed direction. After a life as a graphic designer, José indeed opted for tools and bike repair, as a bike enthusiast. In 2018, he opened a workshop café. But, with the success met on the part of selling quality bikes and custom repair, the café aspect lost ground and then was put on standby. Lighting, flat tire kits, helmets: here you can equip your bike according to your needs. A real place for enthusiasts!

Cyclable's equipment is aimed more at city dwellers, families and cyclists than at mountain bikers, racing cyclists or track cyclists. If you're interested in a particular model, don't hesitate to ask for a test ride. You'll find folding bikes, two-wheelers, three-wheelers and electric-assist bikes from Dutch and German manufacturers. All accessories are also sold, from helmets and lights to panniers and trailers. In the event of a problem, the store has a repair workshop.
