Family Friendly

I would like to say that I am glad that there is something different for a whole family to do together in Blackpool.  There is so much to do in Blackpool but can get very expensive and doesn’t tire the kids out enough (apart from all the walking) We found Blackpool Cycle Rentals from a poster in a hotel we were staying at in South Shore and was amazed with the personal service our family was given.  I have 3 kids, 14, 6 and 4 and hired 3 adult bikes, a tag a long and a trailer and loved every minute of it.  The kids loved chosing their helmets and were excited to get a certificate at the end of the day, even my 14 year old.  I will definately use this service again, especially as there are so many safe and easy routes to take in Blackpool, including the town.

Saddle Sore!

Dear BCR,

I would like to thank you for letting us use your bikes to ride the promenade in Blackpool.  I cant stop laughing as my wife is still moaning at me because she was a bit sore after a few hours cycling, she said it was worse than being sunburnt.  I told her we will do the Blackpool to Cleveleys cycle route next time as practice makes perfect ;)

Blackpool Cycle Rentals Gets All “Huffy”

We welcome on board to our fleet of cycles an ’1987 Huffy Savanah Tandem’.  This bike is really something that needs teamwork to control.  If you can calm your giggles as you learn to ride in unison then you are sure for a great day out.

Both cyclists have brakes, so if your partner in front is trying to race off then you can squeeze on the brake, just a little, to let them know you are also in control!

An excellent cycle experience  for teenagers and adults.  Why not take some pictures of  your day out on ‘Huffy’ with the famous Blackpool Tower in the backdrop, what a great change to your holiday photos at the seaside! or email your pictures to us and we can showcase your adventures here on BCR

You can book ‘Huffy’ for ride the lights in Blackpool on Tuesday 31st August 2010 8pm to 10pm.  To register for ride the lights please go to Visit Blackpool

Thank you BCR

My husband and I wanted to say a massive Thank You for your exceptional ‘one to one’ service.  We only hired our bikes for one day but will definately hire them for longer next time we visit Blackpool.  Thank you for collecting the bikes from us at Fleetwood Market so that we could spend the rest of the afternoon shopping!  We will recommend you to our friends who are in Blackpool in September.
