My brother's going to be here at the weekend and it'd be nice to go over to Swinley, anyone know where I might be able to hire a bike for him?
There's nothing here in Reading as far as I know.

Swinely hire out cheep saracens (from when saracen were bad).
Convince mountain trax that you want to demo a bike? It's probably cheeper.

Thankyou!

The bikes at swinley are fine if your just pottering round swinley.
Most now have now been upgraded to hydralic disc brakes and some have fairly beefy continental tires which are often better than skinny XC for a newbie as they are more forgiving.
Also £13 for 2 hours seems reasonable to me, which includes the £2 pass and helmet.

There also 9 speed and well maintained the weak point is the suspension which is rubbish though.

or demo a good bike (free) from Mountain Trax in Barkham
note: this will work out more expensive if you then buy said bike

yeah - I'm not really allowed in bike shops for exactly that reason...

Well, they do have some gorgeous bikes in there!

I think it's £20 now for a month's worth of demo's at Mountain Trax
