Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 167 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. People consistently praise the incredibly friendly and professional staff and instructors who make every coaching session highly engaging, supportive, and carefully tailored to individual riding goals. Reviewers also love the exceptionally well-maintained bikes and the remarkably smooth hire process, ensuring a fantastic and memorable day out exploring the forest trails. However, some customers also noted occasional minor mechanical issues with rented equipment, such as front shocks being accidentally locked or bike chains coming off during rides. A few visitors additionally mentioned that the forest tracks could occasionally feel quite rocky or that the physically demanding sessions left younger participants pretty tired by the end.

Hiring a bike was extremely easy and…

Hiring a bike was extremely easy and simple. The team were great and we're able to help with amending our booking after my own issue.

It would be good to be able to amend an order placed online, but I could not do this.

Great bikes on a budget

Really friendly local business who provide awesome bikes to navigate Bracknell Forest. The team were very helpful in arranging a bespoke booking of 1 hour duration (usual booking is 2 hours) in order to reduce costs as I was visiting with a young person who I volunteer with. We both had a great time exploring all the blue trails and would definitely recommend the bike hub. Thanks again team :-)
