family hols in June, looking to escape the pool side for day. What company to look at for bike hire and guiding?
no one?
My son found these for me when I was looking into a holiday there.

I've taken a bike out there (Ayia Napa) in the past but it was too hot for me.
It's cooler up in the mountains (Troodos) and I understand there's loads of riding up there but its a fair drive from where we normally stay so I've never bothered.
I was out there in October and we're back there in May.
We went last august , glad we decided not to take the bikes in the end . The heat was ridiculous . Troodos mountains were awesome though for a day out
been for a drive in Troodos when last there years ago, looked like scope for many mtb trails. googly search has thrown up a few companies just looking to see if anyone has any recommendations.
I'll be in Paphos so someone located near there would be ideal.
wheelie Cyprus are based near Polis, N of Paphos and do hire and biking. Not sure if they cater for one off days. Did approach them a few years ago - very pleasant accommodation and friendly responses but didn't go in the end. There's an old thread on here also recommending them [url] http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/hire-shops-in-cyprus [/url]
June will be very hot for biking! We were there end of May/June last year - we were walking in Akamas and Troodos. (we were advised by tourist board that it was too hot to walk in Akamas after mid May tho we managed OK).
The main tracks (referred to as nature trails) are reasonable well signed. Pretty easy biking apart from one or two short bits - which I not sure I would have ridden.Maps are available free from tourist info (and online) tho not exactly OS standard. There is also a rather odd and old cicerone guide by Donald Brown showing a lot of walking trails for some self guiding if you have a lot of patience to follow. Used to be on Google Books but seems to have gone.

For both bike hire and guiding.
Used them for the last 3 years and never had an issue.

Easy Bikes Etc.[/url] are based in Paphos. I hired a decent hardtail last October for EUR10 per day.
From there you can explore the coast heading up to Coral Bay and beyond. Most of it's accessible coastal path.
Also recommend Helen and Al at [url= http://www.wheeliecyprus.com/ ]Wheelie Cyprus[/url] if you want guiding as well.
