How to choose the right rental bike for your level and route
No bike for the season? Cyclo Services rents them in the Old Port. Here are the different types of bikes we can offer based on your skills and needs.

City bikes
Usually designed with flat handlebars, this very popular type of bike is perfect for rides in town and over short distances. Its wide saddle and tires also give you more comfort on your outing and handle bumps better. It’s the right choice if you don’t ride much or you’re just starting.
Road bikes
The “road bike” category covers several different types of bikes, often designed for group rides. Some of our models, for example, have knobby tires so you can ride on gravel. Others, on the contrary, have narrow tires and a light frame so you can reach higher speeds without tiring.
Whatever their features, these bikes have one goal: letting you ride on smooth surfaces with ease, whatever the conditions. See our road and touring bikes.
E-bikes
Unlike our conventional bikes, our e-bikes have a motor designed to help you pedal over rough terrain without running out of breath. They’re also very useful for climbing hills, steep or not.
Hills get easy: make Québec City your playground, on your own or with one of our guides, whatever your level. For rentals, the e-bike is reserved for riders 18 and older.
Tandem bikes
If you often travel as a pair and want to stay close to your partner or friend, try one of our tandem bikes! As the name suggests, this bike with a very long frame is designed to carry two people at once. Both riders pedal at the same time and enjoy the scenery together, even if they don’t have the same skills.
A tandem is also very helpful for climbing hills with help from your teammate. A great way to ride as a pair. See the tandem.
A wide variety of bikes available for you
Our bike rental service saves you buying a bike for the season. Our team inspects the whole fleet regularly. And our guided tours show you the city from a different angle.
