Bike Hire

British Bike Hire are the official bike hire partner for the Castle Triathlon Series.

Hiring a bike with British Bike Hire takes the stress and hassle of traveling with your bike out of race weekend; you can rely on them to have a freshly cleaned and serviced bike delivered to the event ready for collection. Once there you can collect your bike from one of their team of mechanics who will be on hand for any fitting adjustments, pedal changes or installation of extra parts that you may want.

The process is simple:
1.       Book your book online at www.britishbikehire.co.uk/events
2.       You’ll receive a confirmation email and then information about the event in the week leading up to it
3.       Arrive at your Castle Triathlon event and find your bike ready to ride in the event village
4.       Do your event!
5.       Drop it off at the end of the day when you’re finished

You can choose from their wide range of bikes from carbon road bikes at £75 for a single day hire, to hybrid bikes for £40 for a day hire.
