Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great way to see the Nature Reserve. Easy booking, something for all ages. We hired adult mountain bikes, a tag along and a trailer for children aged 11,8 and 4. Helmets and a bike lock was also included. We were out for about 4 hours but was well worth it and included a pit stop at Winchelsea Cafe for brunch. Cycling around 12 miles but we did go beyond the routes and took one wrong turn!.
We used the map link provided by the cycle hire and really enjoyed our ride. We did a large circular route and included a visit to Camber Castle. Most of the path was flat pavement but some paths near to the castle and through the farm are shingle and grass which was more challenging. All added to the fun!
Would recommend.

A nice morning spent out cycling with the family. Booking process was smooth arrived and collected the 2 MTBs and the trekidoo. All very friendly and got on our way. Great value £40 for the bike for half a day. I'm a cyclist and use to riding well maintained bikes. The bikes were safe but could have had been maintained to a slightly higher standard. Tyres pumped to correct pressure, gears adjusted, degreased and oiled. Both the MTBs just needed a bit of tlc. They were fine for the cycling we did. The trekidoo is a beauty. Easy to ride and got a lot of attention form walkers.
Overall the kids loved it, we got to see more of the country and got 4 hours of exercises in the sun for £10 an hour. Would do it again.

My wife and I hired a tandem bike! What a great way to explore the Rye Harbour Nature Preserve, Winchelsea and Camber Sands. Hank made sure our bike was tuned up and ready to go. He offered us helpful suggestions for lunch spots, made sure we knew which way the prevailing winds were blowing so we did not have an unexpected head wind for the return journey and saw to it that we were safely back on our way to Rye after returning our bikes at the end of the day. It was a wonderful experience all around.

As a family we had a really great experience with Rye Harbour Cycles.
The owner was friendly, warm and engaging and quickly sorted us out when we arrived. The bikes were in really good condition - new and lightweight. The tyres were puncture proof, and the best bit of all was the seat, which was easily adjustable by using a leaver on the handle bar!
A helmet and lock which clips on to the handle bar were all part of the rental too. The cycle hire is in a good location to set off straight along the coastal path.
*If you want an easy cycle ride, stick to the path as off road it can be a bit bumpy!
A great day, as there is also a good pub next door to the cyle hire!

Thanks to Rye Harbour cycles for great bikes. It made a huge difference to have these to get around and explore the areas around Rye. They're such great bikes , reasonably priced and bike helmets and a lock are included too.

A very friendly and helpful man helped us book and sort out bikes, we got 2 tandem bikes and one normal with a dog buggy. The ride across the sea front through the nature reserve was great and no cars which made it feel very safe. Rode to a cafe which was a great pit stop and had the wind behind us on the way back (great help…!).

I had a great experience with Rye Harbour Cycles. The owner was friendly and attentive and helped me out quickly with a booking query. Then on the day gave me a helpful guide to the bike, and pointed out trails around the area.
The bike itself was a joy to use. Chunky puncture proof tyres, 11 gears, lightweight, and best of all an easily adjustable saddle (lever action to raise it then body weight to lower it to your required height.) Being short and often struggling with correct seat heights and adjustments, this feature made me so happy!
A lock, helmet and free gel saddle cover were all part of the rental too. It's in a good location to set straight off along the coast,

An absolute gem of a place. I’m a novice rider, and would not feel safe on the road, so riding in the Rye Nature Reserve is perfect for me. Good bikes, good advice, excellent value, easy booking…my weekly bike ride to Winchelsea has been a complete joy to me.

We hired 7 bikes from Rye harbour Cycles and Hank the owner couldn't have been more helpful. The bikes were ready for collection and we were half an hour early which was not a problem at all, we had a quick run through what the bikes can do, offered helmets, bike locks and a map. Service was great and nothing was too much trouble. One of the group had always wanted to try a tandem, he kindly let us have a go when we returned . Faultless service. We booked online 7 days before and i would recommend booking ahead to save disappointment.

Very flexible service. Thought the bikes were of a high standard, clearly well maintained and in excellent condition.
We hired a range of 6 bikes and a child seat - all lined up ready in our arrival.
