RENTAL DETAILS
When renting a bike you are assuming full responsibility for it. This means that you accept financial responsibility in the event of a crash or any damage pertaining to the rental, as well as stolen bikes resulting in neglecting to safely store it. If you’d like to be insured for your rental bike, please contact your insurance provider. A rental bike is your bike while on tour, so please treat it with care.
ELECTRIC BIKES
Our tours do not accommodate e-bikes. We’ve thought long and hard about whether or not to include e-bike participants. In the end we’ve decided to stick with what the Italians now refer to as Bici muscolare, or just straight-up non-assist bicycles. Thank you for understanding.
Please use the following measurements to fill out your form:
The measurement from the center of your bottom bracket to the top of the saddle, along the axis of the seat tube.
The measurement from the center of the saddle to the center top of your handlebars.
The center front of your handlebars to the end of your drop out on the front fork.
Your height.
Your inseam, or Pubic Bone Height (PBH). To find your PBH, stand in bare feet and hold a ruler between your legs so that it is parallel with the ground. Have a friend measure the distance from the ground to the ruler. This is your PBH.
Your experience i.e., tell us a bit about what kind of riding you do.
