Bike hiring in Stockholm!

[Andrew G]

Does anyone know where you can rent a road bike in Stockholm, or any useful links that might help? All I can find are citybreak "renting a bike is a good way to see the city" type things which would probably be sit-up-and-begs at an hourly rate.

Someone at work has rather foolishly decided to enter the Stockholm Triathlon on a bit of a whim. He's done the last 2 London Marathons and fancied a challenge, so in the space of a few hours got carried away and entered and booked his flight .

Currently his cycling is just a bit here and there on a MTB so I've told him to stick slicks on it asap so he can train on the road. If needs be then he can also use this as they allow MTBs - various categories so he's not in with any elites or anything, more of a having a go amateur category I think.

I think the best bet would be to hire a road bike in Stockholm for the event and then he'd have a better/more suitable bike to do it on and also save himself the cost and faff of lugging his MTB through the airports etc.

Thanks for any help.

maybe there will be a tri bike rental set up specifically for the tri? I did a group one years ago at lake dorny and you could hire very good tri bikes there for your ride.

Some races have try a bike, wetsuit etc at tri's 'I've been at. Tell him to ask the same question on tritalk and someone will probably be able to help...

Tell him to try "Var kan jag hyra en cykel?" and take it from there.
