Contigrip Posted January 19, 2015 Share Hi guys, I need some help. I have a mate coming from the UK in a few weeks time and am thinking of going riding together, but he wont be bringing his bike out for a few rides. So, looking to rent a mountain bike for him to use. Do you know of any places in Jhb that rent out bikes? Looking for something that isnt a PnP special but also doesnt have to be top end more than a car. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0madADV Posted January 19, 2015 Share Have you looked at BikeLife? http://www.bikelife.co.za/bicycle-rentals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch the stalker Posted January 19, 2015 Share I think Big Red Barn has some, but then you'd be limited to riding there, ok, that's more Pretoria, but not that far. Edited January 19, 2015 by Lurch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contigrip Posted January 20, 2015 Share Thanks for the link to Bike Life, Macros77. Spoke to Stuart, he heads up their rental side and has what I am looking for. If anyone else is looking for a rental around jhb, can contact him on stuart@bikelife.co.za He is also the guy behind the bikes at Red Barn and a few other places around the country. Think I will be looking at my next holiday as where they are so I don’t have to lug mine around. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contigrip Posted February 9, 2015 Share Hi all, An update. i rented a bike from Stuart at Bike Life this weekend for my mate. Was an absolute pleasure. Was well worth it and had no issues / hassles / anything at all. I can definitely recommend it for anyone coming to Jhb that doesnt want to lug their bike around with them. Cheers.

Devlin Fogg Posted February 23, 2017 Share Sorry folks but Bike Life no longer rents bikes. Suggest you try your nearest bicycle shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swsup97 Posted April 19, 2017 Share @Devlin Any reason as to why Bike Life do not rent out bicycles anymore? On that note where can you rent a MTB from these days? i asked my local BS and they don't hire out, so if you know of a place let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I might have a solution at 6'3" that would put him on a XL frame. I have 2 XL Hard Tail Bikes , Old School 26 V-Brake Scott Yacora and Momsen 529 29er I would need a deposit to the value of the bike, which would be fully refundable if you return the bike in the same condition as you got it. If the bike is stolen form your possession then you will forfeit your deposit If the bike components are damaged, I will deduct the price of replacement parts (Second Hand - Like for like) If the frame is Dented, Bent , or Cracked ,I will deduct the the second hand value from your deposit If it has a scratch or 2 more, from being dropped or from from the bike rack, I will not be bothered. This is meant to anchorage you (or your son) to enjoy the bike , ride with in your capability, and treat it as you if you owned it. Both bikes are more that capable of doing 100km of gravel riding or 10-60km of riding at Northern Farms, Cycle Lab Bike Park, 26 V-Brake deposit would be R4000 Momsen 29er Deposit would be R9000 This offer is not intended for me to make money, but more to enable you and your son to enjoy this great sport on some decent, well maintained equipment. I am based in Broadacres Fourways, you would need to collect and return the bike here. DM me if you are interested.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100Tours Posted February 27 Share Anyone other than bike market who rents at the moment? (they are short on stock) I'm looking for a 58cm gravel bike, or perhaps a hardtail if I don't come right on #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
