For those who enjoy cycling for health or as a hobby

Those who ride a bicycle on a regular basis should consider renting a sports bike on their trip. We particularly recommend a cross bike as a great bike for first time users. We introduce a variety of courses you can enjoy depending on your strength and endurance, whether you just started cycling recently or ride a bike two or three times a week.

For those who exercise on a daily basis

We have plenty of worthwhile seaside and mountain routes under 50 km in distance and lacking in significant differences in elevation along the route. If you exercise regularly, such as walking or jogging, you can enjoy a comfortable ride with just the right amount of effort if you aim to maintain a speed of about 20 to 25 kph.
