For us as a bicycle rental company in Spain, the 2020 cycling year started out overwhelmingly. Already in the first two weeks of January, so many reservations were received that we had almost full-time rental of all our bikes for the months of March, April and May. For a company that started cold a year earlier, a very nice and good performance!
Safety during cycling has increasingly become a topic of discussion in Spain in recent years. Various components determine safety. First of all, there is of course the racing bike itself, which must meet all safety requirements. The rider also determines how safe it is with his behavior. In addition, there are various accessories that can contribute, as well as the clothing. Finally, of course, the traffic rules in a country are important. We will go into all these points in more detail in this blog.
At the end of 2018 we started Allure Bike Rental. We rent semi-professional carbon racing bikes. Our goal is certainly not to become the largest, but to become the best road bike rental company on the Costa Blanca. Read on if you want to know how we do this and what our clients think about it.
Cyclists are increasingly serious about the exercise of their sport. To this end, they regularly book a cycling holiday abroad. But what do you do if you want to rent a bike in Benissa or Moraira, for example? Actually, all of this can be arranged quite easily online from the home country.
In previous blogs we have already discussed some typical Spanish dishes and drinks. Most of these are no longer found only on the Costa Blanca, but also in the rest of Spain. Now we list some typically Spanish customs, which you can take into account during the cycling holiday on the Costa Blanca.
A few years ago we moved to the Costa Blanca in Spain. For many a dream come true. We just happened to hang around here. We could get a job in tourism here and there, which suits us well. And also look around what really lives here in the area. Of course we were confronted with many cyclists. Especially in the preseason from February to the end of May, but actually all year round. They use the Costa Blanca as a training camp and preparation for the cycling season that often starts around April.
Since the lockdown because of the COVID-19 on March 14th 2020 all shops, both fysical and online, were closed in Spain. Which meant that we were not able to rent our bikes to you, our dear cycling lovers. As from today Monday May 4th 2020 the government announced that all shops for roadbike hire Spain can open again. Although you might think this is great, nothing is less true.
Although the world is now in crisis, everyone knows that it will change again. It is important to us to remain positive. That helps us to stay strong when it is difficult and gives us hope for the future. Many of our clients we have contact with during this period are hoping to plan a cycling holiday in Spain. Maybe not for the first few weeks or months, but hopefully as soon as possible. We write this blog for them and all new positive thinking customers.
We already explained multiple times that Spain is a very popular holiday country all year round. Especially in winter when the weather is due to the microclimate really nice. For this reason a lot of elderly came to stay for a long time in the winter. Nowadays younger people discovered the importance of good weather, an outstanding cycling hotel and road bike rental in Spain.
Cycling means something different for every cyclist. We noticed on social media that many cyclists post a lot about coffee rides. So this is part one to guide you around while cycling through the Costa Blanca. These cycle coffee stops are located more or less around the Aitana (mountain). Therefore they can be fit in easily in your ride to the Port de Tudons.
