Bike HireFrequently Asked Questions

VALID ID. All Rentals require a deposit of a government issued ID (driver’s license, national ID card) per person. For groups: Over half the group are required to have ID. For school or tour groups: The leader or person in charge will produce ID and will be fully responsible for all bikes. They will receive their ID back when all bikes are returned to Lazy Bike Tours in the same condition as they left. A “bike hire agreement” will also need to be signed at time of booking online or at time of collecting bikes in person.

You can prebook your bikes up to 24 hours in advance online. You cannot book bikes that are to be rented on the same day as booking online. This does not mean that bikes are fully booked. For same day bookings please phone 01 4433671 and hire is subject to availability.
