Im looking to hire a bike to go bikin with my boyfriend in the country - can anyone suggest where to go??

They hire bikes up at Ladybower/ Howden / Derwent reservoirs. Good place for easy ride alongside the water, or you can go off road a bit as well.

Also, I can't remember the name but there is a disused railway that starts near Matlock, you can hire bikes there.

There is a bike hire place at Fairholmes, at Derwent Reservior, there is one in Hope Village in the Hope Valley, and on the Tissington Trail.

Happy pedalling!

Does anyone know of anywhere where we can hire bikes for a ride out in Derbyshire/peak district area - somewhere we can park car up and ride out for a couple of hours or so. Also, would be a distinct advantage if they did bikes with the trail attachment (a wheel and a seat that clamps to an adult bike for child to sit on).

Many thanks

Matt

All the info you could need here (http://www.peakdistrict.org/cycle/cycle.htm)

Think there is a cycle hire centre at Parsley Hay (near Hartington) - on the Tissington Trail, which is very nice - seems to be used a lot by family groups.
There is also a cycle hire centre at Carsington Reservoir, north of Ashbourne and cycle trails around the reservoir.

You can hire bikes from the following places -
Middleton Top Engine House, Middleton-by-Wirksworth*
Parsley Hay*
Tissington Trail*
Fairholmes, (turn off A57 at Ladybower reservoir)

* All on the High Peak/Tissington Trail network of foothpath and cycle ways. All bookable in advance - but, sorry, don't have a current leaflet with me with tel. nos.
