Bike rental in Altea

Want to go cycling during your holiday in the sun but worried about lugging a huge bike case around and trusting your precious machine to airline baggage handlers?

Then you ought to think about bike hire! Rent a bike near Altea, on Spain’s Costa Blanca, with a road bike, mountain bike or e-bike from Peloton Belgica.

About Us​

Peloton Belgica is a new player in the road bike, mountain bike and electric bike rental game, launched in September 2021 and operating from Altea to cover the surrounding parts of the Costa Blanca region – places like Altea, Calpe, La Nucia, Polop, Benidorm, Finestrat and Albir.

Bjorn is a dedicated cyclist, both on and off the road, but with a particular fondness for mountain biking. Both of us have a strong business background with Wendy managing a daycare since 2008 while Bjorn was in sales. Our dream was to set up a business together in sunny Spain, working with bikes and people.

Because we like to keep in touch with our roots in one of the world’s leading cycling countries, which is also where many of our customers come from, we chose the name Peloton Belgica.

Bjorn sorted out some excellent routes for our riding holiday and came out with us. His hire bike was top order kit. Heartily recommended.

Fantastic service and brand new high-end rental bikes. Bjorn brought the bikes to us and collected them at the end himself. We rented makes like Scott and Specialized with the option of hiring a power meter too. Definitely one to recommend if you want to hire bikes in the area round Calpe.
