What we mean by 'quality' bike hire

One of the most common questions we hear at Capital Bicycle Hire is "tell me about the bikes I can hire - are they any good?"
First, all our bikes for hire are late model, mid to high level hardtail and fully-suspended mountain bikes. At the moment, we're running Norco Wolverines, Nitros, EXC-2s (which Pete is riding above) and the Fluid 2. We reckon they provide predictable handling, solid componentry and the quality required for day in, day out use. And no, Norco doesn't pay us to say that...
Second, all our bikes are serviced in-house (most of use are ex-bike mechanics) on a monthly basis. We're big believers in preventative maintenance, and know that even the most minor problem can ruin a ride, so we check (and adjust, if required) every bike before and after every time it goes out.
Third, we don't just thrown any bike to anyone. We'll talk to you about how long you've ridden, where you want to ride, your particular riding style and any other considerations (height, weight, etc.) to make sure that your bike fits you properly.
And we do all this at a price which we think is fair, reasonable and very competitive.
The end result is that we're confident in saying that Capital Bicycle Hire is the only option if you're looking for quality bicycle hire in Canberra.
