Do you rent bicycles?

TDA does not rent bicycles. Logistically, it is not possible for us, as we are not doing circular routes where bicycles can be easily picked up / dropped off at a central base. Our tours cross entire continents; so to get a fleet of rental bikes to the start line and back again after the tour is not feasible.

All of our participants have used their own bicycles on the tours. For those who haven’t traveled by air with their bikes before, it may appear challenging, but it isn’t that bad. Click here to read our 10 Tips For Flying With Your Bicycle.

Over the years, a few participants have purchased a bike in the starting city of the tour, rather than fly with a bike to the start city. Depending on the tour and the city where it starts, and with a bit of pre-tour research, this can usually be accomplished in a day.
