Bicycle Rentals on Coz

[rje634]

I just received an e-mail back from Isla Bicylceta that they won't reopen till next year.
I was wondering if anyone know where to rent good quality bikes on Coz?

Don't know how helpful this is. Good luck!

Thanks for the try but these websites are referencing Isla Bicycleta which is the one I was in contact with and they're not going to be open till next year.

Just a thought - was it before the end of the year when they told you that? If so, it is next year now!

We rented a convertable VW for the week. Only $100. Worth it.

Bicycles in Cozumel? Not a good idea. Second only to scooters, bikes in Cozumel are dangerous to your health. The taxi drivers seem to delight in playing chicken, coming as close as they can when passing. The road surfaces are uneven and full of potholes. Rent a car!

To put this into perspecitve, I ride a road bike 7-10,000 miles a year in Los Angeles and wouldn't dream of doing it in Mexico!

Oh, jeez. I'm sorry. My blonde hair has been getting me in all kinds of trouble this week!:bonk:

I wish, I got the e-mail a couple of days ago. I don't think they'll be ready by the time we get there (Feb. 10th)...

Forget about it, I appreciate the effort

I totally know your dilemma. I used to rent from Isla bicycletta all the time. Believe me, there's nothing even close...but I found a barely passable mountain bike at the rental place in that little strip mall attached to Chedraui. I'm really glad to hear they're coming back. I usually get a bike for the whole week; it pays for itself in cab fare and I get some good exercise while I'm there.
