The bikes we hire are supplied by a leading manufacturers and are specially selected for riding on the trails and are of a high specification.
The trail bikes are all geared and enabling all levels of cyclist to navigate the hills and climbs of the park.
Whether you are big or small or somewhere in between, we will certainly have a bike to fit you – our adult bikes range in size from small to large and the children’s bikes come in two wheel sizes which equate to small and large.
We provide help of course in choosing the correct sized bike and will adjust your seat height to ensure you leave on your cycle outing with the bike correctly set up!

Notes:-
Child trailers (1-5 yrs old) are attached and towed by your hire bike. The trailers' are a secure and comfortable alternative to a rear child seat and is far more relaxed for the children - so they could even doze off if it is time for a nap!
Baby seats, trailer and tag-alongs can only be hired with a Parkcycle bike.
Bike Ranges
Apart from the normal trail bikes we have bikes that can be used on the Park's road circuit. We have a small selection of ROAD BIKES (Sizes are 54cm and 56cm only) and also some HYBRID BIKES (Sizes S, M, L). They are suitable for both men and women. All our bikes come with standard pedals; please note that it is not possible to fit your own pedals onto our road or other bikes.
We have a small selection of tandems one of which we have set up to cater for one adult and one child (as a guide the child should be 9 years to 13 years).
We also have one tricycle which is suitable for the less able users. It is geared and suitable for all adults and is hired at the standard adult bike hire rate or for free to registered disabled customers providing they are accompanied by a carer who is hiring a standard adult bike.s able users
In addition to the bikes we can provide locks for use around the park enabling you to stop off for coffee or refreshments whilst keeping your bikes secure.
