Our Rental Bikes

TTT owns a small stable of Scott bikes (kept in our garage at home and pictured above) that we use on our easier trips in France. All the other bikes that we use are rented from a local reputable bike shop near your trip start. Some of these shops we have used for many years and they constantly update their fleet.

2022 note: These days it is impossible to find a bike with a triple, as a compact set-up is the norm. We are also moving slowly towards all of our rentals being Carbon frames with rim or disc brakes and Di2. So, while we rarely use our Scott bikes mentioned above, you will most likely get a Carbon frame. If you are in a large group we guarantee that all of you will have a Carbon frame.

Mail us and we can send you all the gory details about your bike that you will get on your bike vacation with us.

Also, wait till you see what is happening in E-Bikes! How about an E-Bike Racing frame?

And finally, we are one of the rare companies allows you to change bikes mid-week. So, how about changing to an E-Bike if you are finding the riding tougher than expected? Or you just want to rip up Ventoux? Available in Provence, Burgundy, Ardeche, Tuscany and Mallorca. Of course extra charges apply and your bike swap depends on availability.

E-Bikes - How and what?

E-Bikes are not motorcycles … nice try. These bikes have what is called `Pedal-Assist.´ This means that YOU must pedal the bike or it stops moving. The bike has gears and different power settings for differing amounts of Pedal-Assist. More assist means more battery use. So ideally you want to stay out of Turbo mode unless you want to blow past your partner like he/she is standing still. You will however, do this repeatedly on the first day just to annoy everybody. But when your battery runs out be prepared for some grief.

Ask us for more info as these are a great idea for couples that ride at different speeds or allows a leisure cyclist to ride with a fast group up Ventoux or in the Tuscan hills.

It feels like someone is pushing you all-week-long! That'll get some of you thinking.
