Family off road cycling on the Camel Trial

Great service at very short notice.

Parking was easy at Piggy Lane car park near LIDL. The bikes were already waiting for us to pick up when we arrived slightly ahead of our allotted pick-up time. The staff were all very friendly, efficient and helpful and we were on our way in no time at all. The bikes were well serviced and comfortable and came with locks, lightweight waterproof panniers and cycle helmet. Really can't fault the service. They were very competitively priced and I would highly recommend Bridge Bike Hire Sandra Griffiths, Google
