Great service, the bikes are very light and very good. We had one chain break and although I felt bad returning the bike broken, the staff was very kind and offered a discount. Would recommend both the experience and the place!
We had a great experience with this rental place. The price was 15 euro per bike. I would like to mention that the bikes are unexpectedly comfortable and not heavy
Very rude owners, i did not appreciate the rude and condescending nature of both owners. I would recommend bringing your own bike to the island and not wasting your money on these two. Also, bring a pump, dont expect these two to help you. Thanks a lot lads.
Like all people on inishbofin they are really nice to deal with. Our family rented 5 bikes and traveled around the island for the day. The best way to see the island by far. Even our 7 year old made it around!
Hiring a bike is a great way to get around the island. Cost of hiring bike for the day was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend
