Off there next week, we want to hire bikes for a days pootle along the coast and I would like a guided ride for a day myself unless it's easy to follow trails ? I've seen a couple places advertised Evolution was one any experience?

One thing to remember, their bikes are generally EU braking. Don't make this mistake I made 😀

I've used Evolution for a road bike in the past. Good condition and from memory they were really nice people.

That’s caught me out too @weeksy 😂

For the Canaries, Free Motion Tend to have it covered. They’re a really professional set up and great to deal with. First time I used them I phoned them up at 4pm they had everything waiting for me at 8 the next morning.

The bikes are brand new and immaculate. I remember going to pick one up and noting that the workshop was like an operating theatre.

I just did bike hire and found my own way around but they do tours

I don't think Freemotion are in Costa T, but they are in Puerto del Carmen. Agree they're very good; I rented from them in Gran Canaria. But if I'm honest had no complaints whatsoever about Evolution in Costa Teguise.

Gratuitous shot of Evolution rental bike sunning itself. Carbon and Ultegra, plenty good enough for my requirements.

Highly recommend Evolution, hired from them at least 5 times, nice people. Bikes are set up for Brit riders and they’ll offer a choice of pedals if you clip in. <br />Ask them to do you a map for the “Rollercoaster” MTB route, a good day out. Go in on day one to check availability of MTBs.
