Bike Bus delivers to your door
Or to where you want to start your ride and then we pick the bikes up from where you finish. We can deliver bikes to most of the Dordogne every day and all year round, from early in the morning to late at night.
Bike Bus Hubs
Our bikes are present at several locations around the Dordogne allowing you to turn up and hire a bike on any day. It is preferable to reserve in advance though.

"Hi Joel
we are back from our awesome trip. The biking was definitely the best part. I hate my bike now after riding yours."

Bike Bus delivers your bike direct to your gite, hotel, or campsite in the Perigord Noir, Dordogne, France. Daily departures from Sarlat, Domme, Beynac, Montignac, or Castelnaud. The minimum hire period for a delivery is one day, be that 12 or 24 hours.
A. 24-hour hire : From evening to evening or morning to morning and delivery can take place at your home, hotel, campsite or gite etc ...
B. 12-hour hire : From morning to evening for a delivery taking place at your home, hotel, campsite or gite etc ... or anywhere else that you choose.

The collection point doesn't necessarily have to be the same as the delivery point and we may also be able to taxi you back somewhere. Just ask when you reserve. The real advantage here, is that you can have the bikes delivered almost anywhere, and then you only need ride the route that you want and not do the getting there bit.

For periods longer than a day, we suggest you have the bike delivered to where you are staying, or to where you wish to begin your tour.


In July and August, our bikes are present at the following campsites.
Camping Maisonneuve, Castelnaud Non residents can also reserve to collect their bikes from here.
Camping La Val de Marquise, Campagne, Les Eyzies Non residents can also reserve to collect their bikes from here.
Camping Soleil Plage, Vitrac You must be resident to reserve your bikes here.
Take a look at our resources page for accommodation suggestions around our area. We deliver for free to the ones listed in yellow.

Free Delivery Zone

Delivery is free up to 30km from our hub at Castelnaud, so a delivery to Les Eyzies, Coux, Gourdon, St Cyprien, Beynac, Sarlat, Aillac, Belves, Grolejac, Siorac, or Domme won't cost you a penny.

Beyond the Free Delivery Zone

The delivery fee is 3 euros per km and includes collection. If the collection location is different to the delivery, then the fee is calculated for the furthest location minus the free delivery distance (30km).
Lonely Planet Route example : Delivery to Les Eyzies (25km from HUB#1) and a collection from Cahors (56km from HUB#1)
The delivery and collection fee is (56-30) x 3 = 78 euros.

Delivery Examples

A. Ask for a delivery to SARLAT for a 1 day cruise down the Sarlat Green Lane (Vélo Route) or for a ride to the Dordogne Valley. We might even be able to give you a lift back to Sarlat if you ask nicely.
The delivery and collection for the 15km to Sarlat is FREE.

B. Ask for a delivery to CASTELNAUD for a quiet roll down the Valley du Céou to Daglan. This route is ideal for families and novice cyclists. A bike delivery to Castelnaud is free.

C. Ask for a delivery to LES EYZIES to explore the valley of prehistory by mountain bike for one day.
Delivery to Les Eyzies will cost (25-20) x 3 = 15 euros. There is free parking at the riverside carpark and our routes start straight from the carpark. If you were to hire the bikes for one week around here, the delivery would be free.
