Me and my son rented a couple of bikes from Gear bikes to do the National cycle route up to Inverness and down the Great Glen, some 300miles. The bikes were ready for us, first thing in the morning and were in perfect condition. The bikes were extremely good value, and were robust enough to tackle certain N7 roads which were not tarred. Joe the owner was super friendly and made sure we had any extra equipement and tools necessary. His can do and solicitous attitude gave my cycling hoilday the perfect start. A credit to Glasgow!

We had a great experience renting bikes here for a one week bike packing trip through the Highlands. Bikes worked perfectly and Ian and Joe are just really nice. Highly recommended!

Rented two hybrid touring bikes with racks, side bags, helmets and lock. I got a medium size (I am 5’6”) my fiancée got 2XL (He is 6’3”). We rented them for a week. They were just right, new and well equipped for emergency repairs. Friendly and helpful staff. Conveniently located near Kelvingrove Park. We biked all over Glasgow and beyond using the Komoot app. So fun! Highly recommend Gear Bikes! And Komoot app. Happy biking!

The best bikeshop to rent a bike in Glasgow. I am from Brazil, and planned a bike trip to Inverness. I did everything in advance contacting Joe by internet. The prices are low, mostly, the bikes are the very good with great maintenance. We also rented the panniers. highly recommend!!!!

Just rented a touring bike and pannier bags for a 12-day bikepacking holiday. The rental was extremely affordable and came with everything you might need, including a helmet, lock, tire patch kit - they even have camping stove gas in the shop if you need it. The bike was brand new and honestly the nicest piece I’ve ever ridden - light as air. It was a joy to rent from these champs, who were kind enough to let me pack and unpack all my gear in the shop. Would recommend this place to any foreigner who is trying to go touring in Scotland!

We had fantastic and friendly service from Gear Bikes. Four family members - two from USA, two from England - rented bikes (and one set of panniers) for a week to cycle the *John Muir Way*.

When we came in, Sandy could not have been more thorough. He took a good hour to make sure all bikes and helmets were the right fit. He was so friendly and passed on lots of JMW tips.

Joe was also friendly, helpful and responsive, right from the get-go when we first made an inquiry. He was responsive out-of-hours when we wanted to extend the rental by a day.

Really friendly shop, and great prices! For our next Scotland bike trip, we’ll be back. Big thanks to the team.
