- David B8 contributionsAdelaide hills experienceAs an avid cyclist away from home what better way to really experience whats on offer here than to go for a ride in the surrounding countryside. Adelaide bike hire made this experience a delight with a competent and professional service. From the quality of the equipment, personal service and excellent road side support. Martin provided us with the best service you could wish for, setting up the bike to our specifications, delivering and collecting from our accommodation and expedient roadside assistance when things when wrong, ensuring we didn’t miss a second of the stunning experience we had paid for. Thank you Martin for all your help and assistance making it an absolute pleasure to ride the Adelaide hills. Two days riding, 90 and 70 miles covered and over 12000ft of ascent including Mount Lofty and The Corkscrew achieved. Very happy but sore.Thank you for the great review David. Glad that you both enjoyed riding around Adelaide, and the service we provide. It was nice to meet you both. Hope it didn't take to long to recover :)Written 10 October 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 19 September 2023
- Chris L6 contributionsThe best bike hire experience - 6* out of 5Martin provides excellent bikes with excellent service. It is an absolute pleasure to ride a good bike and this is often hard to do when away from home. At Adelaide Bike Hire, however, everything was great. I hired a BMC carbon road bike in brand new condition, delivered to our door, picked up upon our return two days later, and supplied with all needed accessories. My friends and family hired like-new high quality hybrids and one hired a similar condition e-bike. You can not do better than this if you want a bike that you deserve to ride. Martin deserves 6 star review.Thanks Chris. My first 6 star review. Much appreciated. Hope you are enjoying the rest of your holidays.Written 12 November 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 8 November 2023
- Ben H1 contributionCouldn't be easier.I hired a BMC road bike and Martin arrived on time with a perfectly tuned bike adjusted to fit, and happily accommodated my drop off timing. The week on the bike was a reminder of just how much fun it is to ride through the Adelaide hills. I highly recommend Adelaide Bike Hire.Thank you for the great review Ben. Good to here you liked getting back to Adelaide for a ride. Might see you back again one day.Written 20 November 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited November 2023Travelled soloWritten 20 November 2023
- Steve L2 contributionsGreat place to rent high quality bikesWe were really happy with our experience with Adelaide Bike hire ! The gravel bikes we rented were top notch and their service was outstanding. With time zone confusion I messed up on dates we needed the bikes in my reservation - luckily Martin was able to accommodate our revised dates and he had the bikes to our hotel within about an hour my call, complete with great suggestions for riding routes. No hesitation in recommending.Thank you for the great review Steve. It was nice to help you both out with a bike, even if it was a bit wet.Written 12 December 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 December 2023
- Ozs_TravelsSingapore, Singapore47 contributionsGreat Bike and Awesome ServiceCould not have asked for more. Martin provided friendly service and prompt communication, he accommodated my needs and, if I needed it, would have provided the gear you need to ride, including pedals, bike computer and helmet. Also the bike was well maintained and of a high standard from group set perspective. Martin also knows where to ride and is more than happy to provide guidance on Adelaide's bike routes. I appreciated the floor pump being provided, made a life easier over the two week period. I will be a repeat customer.Thank you for the great 5 star review. Yep I like to leave a floor pump with customers who do longer hires. Good to hear you liked it.Written 7 January 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited December 2023Travelled soloWritten 26 December 2023
- NigeKateSouth Milford, United Kingdom39 contributionsAn Epic 3 Days of CyclingWow, what an excellent service provided by Martin, from arranging the bike hire to actually receiving the bikes at our hotel the communication provided by Martin throughout was excellent. We hired Merida bikes as we wanted to have a nice chilled out experience riding round Adelaide as keen cyclists we thought hiring the BMC bikes may have led us to riding more competitively and so miss out on actually seeing the sights of this beautiful city and surrounding areas. The bikes proved to be just what we wanted and obviously you could tell they were well maintained as they ran perfectly throughout our 3 days of the hire. Even though we had planned our routes Martin was able to give us excellent pointers of where we might want to stop or visit on our routes. We rode 2 routes in the hills and one coastal route. The only point I would say where we messed up was doing Willunga Hill in +30c heat it was probably a tad to hot as it is a longish ride from Adelaide, so I would suggest just keep an eye on the weather. One thing is for certain we will be back and hiring bikes from Martin.Thank you for the great review Nigel and Kate. It was nice to meet you. Glad to hear you like our bike hire service and the riding around Adelaide. See you again one day.Written 7 January 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 January 2024
- HolidayKiwiAuckland4 contributionsOutstanding bike hire experience!Martin's service at Adelaide Bike Hire is superb! He delivers on all promises, the bikes are great quality, and he's really helpful about where to ride - providing maps, good local knowledge, appropriate recommendations for ability, etc. Hiring one of the flatbar bikes - luckily still available at short notice - really enhanced the TDU experience for me. I'll be back next year to hire a road bike, this time with plenty of notice! Thanks Martin.Thank you for the nice review. Much appreciated. Yep get in early for the TDU. I wish I could work out a viable way to have even more hire bikes for the one week of the TDU, but I just can't get the numbers to work :)Written 24 January 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited January 2024Travelled soloWritten 22 January 2024

- Tom NGosport, United Kingdom33 contributionsGreat bikes and excellent serviceWe ordered 2 x BMC road bikes from Martin for 3 days while we stayed with relatives in Port Willunga. Ordering was straightforward and Martin delivered the bikes the day before the hire was due to start and no additional cost, allowing us to go a two hour ride to recce routes get accustomed to the bikes. Having taken our bike measurements during the ordering process, they were perfectly set-up, with a pump, toolkit and spare tube included. The helmets were quality Giro road models. Martin provided two maps, the first of the greater Adelaide area and a more detailed map of the Adelaide Hills. He also gave us advice about local roads and access to recommended routes. Overall, the service Martin provided was excellent with very high quality bikes and we will definitely use him again when we are in Adelaide. Highly recommend.Thank you for the great review Tom. It was nice to meet you both. Glad to hear you enjoyed your bikes, and were able to find your way over to Willunga.Written 26 January 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 25 January 2024
- nataliel205Melbourne, Australia9 contributionsRoad bike hire - AdelaideThis was a fab way of riding in Adelaide. I didn't have a tow bar/roof racks so couldn't bring my own road bike. I hired a BMC with shimano pedals for two days and rode Mount Lofty one day and along the coast the next day. Martin dropped the bike off at my Airbnb and collected it. He was friendly, chatty, a great communicator by text and email and also gave me maps of where to ride.Thanks Nat for the great review. Happy to have been able to help you out with a bike while you were in Adelaide. Perfect weather for it.Written 4 February 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited February 2024Travelled with familyWritten 4 February 2024

Martin was super to work with. Prompt and really helpful. The Merida Scultura bike with 105 compact group set was almost new, set up to my measurements and perfectly tuned - it performed flawlessly over 6 days. If you're fussy about what you ride and want to save the hassle of bringing your own bike, I would really recommend Adelaide Bike Hire.

Exceptional bike hire. Well maintained equipment, wonderful service and insightful local knowledge. Martin was really flexible and responsive to our needs. Thanks Martin for helping to make our Adelaide trip even better! I highly recommend this service to anyone who finds themselves bikeless in arguably Australia's greatest city for riding.

We spent a long weekend in Adelaide in Autumn and rented two performance road bikes from Adelaide Bike Hire. Martin brought them to our accommodation in nick condition including the garmin mount, the pedals of our choice, hand pump, bottle cages, saddle bags with tools and spares and already set up for our measurements. He also provided maps and advice. The bicycles were perfectly adjusted and they ran smooth as butter, they looked brand new! He even got the tire pressure right...
The first day we did the Adelaide Hills, our favourite ride, all the different color leaves and the picturesque buildings, scenic views... we even spotted a wild koala from the bicycle! It seems like you are in a fairy tale. Norton Summit, Ashton, Mt Lofty, Crafers, Hahndorf, Stirling and back through Belair National Park.
The second day we went to Barossa, completely different Quijotesque scenes but beautiful in its own way. Tscharke winery and Musquee restaurant are a must.
The 3rd day we went to McLaren vale, it was raining but we enjoyed it as well. Willunga hill is short but challenging. Plenty of kangaroos and also beautiful villages and nice empty roads. We loved Paxton winery.
Our favourite part of riding in SA has been the awesome people we've found, including Martin. Everybody smiles, says hi and are in for some conversation and recommendation.
We will come back. 100% recommended.

Martin was super from the start. Very helpful when I called with initial queries, the bike and equipment was delivered with no fuss and no problems at the end of the hire regarding pick up.
Bike and trainer were in great condition, and fantastic to have a Wahoo mat and a fan delivered as well.
Overall, an excellent experience and would thoroughly recommend for anyone wishing to hire a bike and / or trainer whilst they are in Adelaide.

I hired a performance road bike to ride around the magnificent Adelaide hills, wineries and beaches. The bike was perfectly maintained and Martin's attention to detail in delivery and providing advice was second to none. If you're in Adelaide and want to explore the sights by bike, I can't recommend Adelaide Bike Hire enough!

Great service. Martin delivered the bicycle (performance road bike) to my accommodation and provided a lot of information about cycling in and around Adelaide.
Also, the whole pre-hire engagement was faultless, prompt response to emails and calls, offered secure forms of payment and talking about the right bike set-up (seat height, etc). Very professional.
And on top of that Adelaide is a great cycling destination. Adelaide Hills are great, plenty of cycle ways in and around the city and people are respectful of cyclists.
I truly recommend them.

Martin went out of his way to accomodate my needs on a very short business trip to Adelaide. He dropped off at a time that suited me, added extras to the bike (a quad lock phone attachment), and provided an excellent bike. It was a flat bar road bike with Shimano 105, new tires and well maintained.
Would absolutely recommend!

Hired a road bike from Adelaide Bike Hire for 2 days, was delivered to our appartment at 5pm the day before the hire started. 1st days cycling didn't get off to a good start when I managed to break the bike chain but thanks to excellent service from Martin at Adelaide Bike Hire (who came out and fitted a new chain at the road side) I was soon back on my way. Completed a 40 mile cycle on day 1 and 30 miles on day 2, for anyone looking for a proper workout cycling in the hills around Adelaide I can recommend the Corkscrew Road circuit (see photo), great views alomng the way but a tough climb. Would recommend Adelaide Bike Hire for anyone looking to do some road cycling while visiting.
