ADVENTURE BIKE HIRE
We built our adventures bikes around Brother Cycles’ highly capable Kepler frameset and fitted them with high-spec components, making them ready for just about anything you chuck their way.
Best for — Multi-day touring, gravelling grinding and type two fun.
ONE BIKE TO RULE THEM ALL
Whether it’s multi-day touring with kit, grinding through gravel or a quick spin around the south-west, our Kepler adventure bikes are here for it. The adventure bike hire fleet are built around UK bicycle co. Brother Cycles’ Kepler framesets and fitted with high-spec components, making them as fun to ride as they are versatile.
Rates & AVAILABILITY
Adventure bike hire starts at £40 with reduced rates for longer rentals. Availability, pricing and booking can be found on our booking system here.
Our bikes are available for single or multi-day trips; each booking comes complete with high quality repair tools, lights and helmets, and all pre-booked bikes are ready to collect from central Bristol (although do ask about delivery).
Accessories & Bags
Not all trips and tours are made equally so you can customise and accessorise each bike to suit your plans: add SPD pedals to lock in for longer rides, wider tyres for tougher terrains, add bottle cages, racks, mounts, lights, GPS systems– see the full list on our online booking system here.
We also have a range of bags to suit a variety of trips: pannier bags for classic touring or front to back Restrap frame bag setups for a nimble bikepacking setup. Bags can be booked via the online booking system or for a closer look at the bags we stock, head here.

How does bike hire work?
Booking, Collections & Returns
Once booked via our online bookings system, bikes can be collected from our container base in Bristol city centre behind the Watershed Cinema. Without online booking and payment, no equipment is guaranteed and please do not arrive without a booking as we are essentially an appointment only business. All equipment must (currently) be returned to the point of hire.
Deposits
We require a valid ID (either a drivers licence or passport) to be left with us as a deposit for the duration of the hire. Arriving for a booking without an ID will mean the hire will be cancelled and no refund will be provided.

Terms & Waivers
You can find our full terms and conditions here and at checkout on our online booking system – please make sure to read them thoroughly. Below we’ve highlighted a few points that everyone should be aware of before making a booking:
Responsibility
During any hire, the bike and accessories are the sole responsibility of the hirer. Our bikes are high-value items and bike theft is rife – we don’t recommend leaving our bikes unattended for any amount of time in public spaces. In the event of loss, theft or damage the full value of the bike (£2300) as well any accessories as any subsequent losses will be redeemed.
Cancellations
Cancellations made within 14-days of the hire date are subject to a 50% cancellation fee. Cancellations made within 7-days of the hire are not eligible for a refund.
FAQS
Can I end the hire elsewhere?
Currently all hires need to be returned to the point of hire (Bristol centre) but we’re hoping to launch one way hire soon so there’s no harm in asking.
What size bike do I need?
Head to the ‘Info’ tab on our online booking system for a size chart.
Bristol’s well-placed for an adventure no matter which direction you set off in: the nearby Mendips are beautiful (and plenty challenging) or there are Sustrans routes and scenic rides taking you east towards Bath and the Cotswolds, as well as south Wales, the New Forest or Devon and Cornwall.
