What biking accessories do I need to bring?
All our rentals include a helmet, a water bottle, pedals, bike lights (front and rear), and a saddle bag (spare tube, tire levers, and co2 cartridge). If you need any accessories beyond these items, such as mirrors or other light types, it is suggested you bring them. We have some accessories for sale, such as hand pumps and cellphone covers.
What kind of pedals do you have?
We have Look Keo, Shimano SPD-SL (road), Shimano SPD (MTB), flat pedals, and pedal cages available. All pedals are included with your rental bike.
I'm not a serious cyclist. Can I handle the rides?
You can handle anything with one of our electric bike rentals! If you choose a road bike or MTB, we recommend staying along the lakeside to ride, as that is the flattest terrain you can find on Lake Como. Otherwise, rent an E-bike and you can go on all of our recommended road routes!
I'm not staying in Bellagio and I'm not sure I can make it to the shop. Could I arrange for my rental bike to be delivered?
Of course! We do bike deliveries all around Lake Como. We kindly ask that you try to schedule your delivery at least 24 hours in advance in order to guarantee a great delivery service. Delivery fees depend on where the bike is being delivered and/or collected. Please e-mail us to arrange a delivery and/or pick-up.
I can't make one of your shop shuttle times from the ferry station downtown. Could I schedule another pickup time not listed?
Yes, you can! Please e-mail or call us to let us know when you'd like to be picked up. Our shop is a 10-15 min. walk from the car ferry station in downtown Bellagio. We can also take you back down to the car ferry upon request!
What is the rental cancellation policy?
Bike rental reservations cancelled up to 21 days before the start of the rental date are eligible for a 95% refund of your deposit. Reservations cancelled up to 7 days before the start of the rental period are eligible for a 50% refund of your deposit.
In case of dangerous weather and riding conditions, your reservation will be refunded 95% for each day deemed dangerous during your reservation period.
In case of dangerous weather and riding conditions, your reservation will be refunded 95% for each day deemed dangerous during your reservation period.
Can I pick my bike up at one shop and drop it off at the other when I'm done (e.g., pick up in Bellagio and drop off in Varenna)?
Yes, you can do this, but you must specify your intent when reserving either online or when communicating with us by email or text. You cannot change your pickup point less than 15 hours before the rental start time. Any last minute dropoff location changes will result in a 20 euro fee (as we will need to reposition the bike for the next renter).
