I've rented a number of bikes from John over the last year. Highly recommended, the e mountain bikes are an absolute blast. If you're more of a road bike, you're also in luck, I recommend the Trek Madone, super comfortable while putting the miles on the clock.

Excellent bike rental outfit, with great bike selection, and John is beyond helpful. Highly recommend. I rented a gravel bike, and my family was able to keep up with e-bikes. The country roads around his shop were fantastic.

Looked all over the lakes for a good bike hire place and was not disappointed with Lake District Bikes. Flexible pick up and drop-off time, and was allowed to leave my car till late safely and securely on the property. John adjusted the bike to fit me correctly, gave me guidance on how to operate the electronic gear changes, and provided us with an amazing route around Lake Coniston. Can definitely recommend and assuming I haven't bought my own bike by this time next year I will definitely be back!…

We had a brilliant day out on our bikes hired from John. As a family of four with kids aged 3 and 9, we hired two regular bikes, an E bike and a trailer. My younger son absolutely loved the trailer and was happy sitting in it all day (he doesn’t normally like to sit still!) All the bikes were excellent and John thoroughly checked we were happy with everything before we set off. We followed the Coniston lane up to Brantwood and back which was a stunning route with outstanding views (and not too hilly for the regular bikes). The only thing to mention for families is that you must cycle a short distance on the main road to get to the lanes. We managed this fine but it’s worth knowing about. Thank you John, we will be back :)…
