I'm going out to a lodge in the general area and looking to hire a road bike for a few days; can anyone recommend bike hire places?

Being a bit more specific would help - Glasgow and Ayr covers a huge area!

You're right, that makes total sense but we'll be based between Ayr and Glasgow with a car so I can travel a reasonable distance to pick a bike up.

So anything in Ayr, Irvine, Troon, Androssan, Kilmarnock, East Kilbridge, Dalry, Johnstone, Motherwell, Paisley, and Glasgow City area is in scope for me. Essentially anything in a 35mi radius of Prestwick ;)

Ah, the car makes things a bit easier then!

I'd recommend Cycle Station just outside Kilmarnock. My cousin did a bit of work experience with them:

RT Cycles in Glengarnock/Lochwinnoch definitely do hire. About half way between Ayr and Glasgow, close to Glengarnock railway station. Also will deliver to airport/ferry terminal or local area. And Martin''s a nice guy. http://www.cyclerepairman.co.uk/Bike-Hire/I7.htm

I think Bikepost in Troon do hires.

Irvine Cycles https://www.irvinecycles.co.uk/cycle-hire.html

Have bought bits and pieces from all 3 over the years, and used RT and Irvine for occasional repairs.

Irvine advise that if you're looking to hire when the Open is at Troon (14-21 July) availability may be limited.

Martin at RT has a Cube 2x11 Tiagra bike which i may take him up on. I spoke to Irvine Cycles and they're going to get back to me :smile:
