nicds Posted January 22, 2014 Share Hoping someone has some info please. I'm heading to the KZN midlands in a few weeks and was wondering where I can rent a bike from. Would like to ride Karkloof specifically, but I'm in the Martizburg area also. Googled and can't find anything except MTB tours. I just want to rent a bike though and not do a tour.

mattrb01 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Hi Not to sure if anyone rents bikes in the area- im from Howick.Your best bet would be to chat to the bike shops, all the chaps are very friendly and if they cant help you im sure they will point you in the right direction. Big wheel cycles - chat to Dave Arpin. you can find them on the Piggly Wiggly website.Howick cycles- chat to Trav. I think they have their own site. Im not to sure about PMB but here are some of the bike shops. Greg Minnar cyclesJowetts cyclesHattons cyclesVelo life Good luck bud, hope to see you on the trails. nicds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted January 23, 2014 Share Thanks a lot. Appreciate all the info.Will definitely give them a shout. I'm sure one of them will have something. Looking forward to the trails - haven't ridden there before. Gimme a shout if you need some local directions and tips. I live in Howick and am out on the trails almost daily. If riding Karkloof (and you would be silly not to !) please go to the trail head (Karkloof Country Club) and fill in indemnity/pay day licence. Also check which trails are open and which closed for main/road works etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolver Posted November 17, 2017 Share Why not take your bike? Sportsmans Warehouse have a reasonably priced bike bag. May be a bit more than renting (depending how many days you want to rent/ride, may work out cheaper) but the bag pays for itself after a couple trips and at you get to ride your own bike. That's what I ended up doing. https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/swh-29-bike-bag Otherwise Greg Minnaar Cycles said they could rent me a bike, but think it depends if they have demo bikes available.
