Holiday road cycle hire, where....?

Hi
My brother-in-law will be joining us next summer and is a keen road cyclist. Rather than bring over his own bike as the cost will be prohibitive, he is keen to know if it is possible to hire carbon-frame road bikes anywhere in NC. We will be Lapta based. He will bring over his cycle helmet, peddles etc.
Can anyone provide road cycle hire info please?
TIA

Try
http://www.kyreniamountaintrail.org. Haven't used them but have looked at their web site for info on walks etc. They had a section on bicycling too.

Thank you very much for the links. It is road bike hire my brother-in-law is keen to track down. So far he has made contact with some of those hiring out off-road bikes in NC, but not road bikes, unfortunately. It is early days, we will keep looking and seeking info from forum members. Thanks again.

Can anyone remember the name of the bike shop in Alsancak on the main road, where the gym now is?
If so they have 2 shops in Lefkosa and I seem to remember someone telling me that they sometimes hire out bikes.

Top quality road bikes available from Ramo Pro cycling at reasonable prices. Although they are based in Paralimni in the Republic, Gary Simmons who runs specific training courses from there lives in Kurtulus in the TRNC and I am sure will be able to accommodate your needs. His email address is

Scoobydoo, is this who you were thinking of:
Bisiklet AKCAN BİSİKLET 4, Şemsettin Günaltay sok. Kumsal Lefkoşa KKTC 227 61 12
They have 2 shops in Lefkosa and until recently had a shop in Alsancak - found on the Kibkom Directory!

Many thanks to all who have replied. I will forward this thread to my brother-in-law. He can pick through it and make the contacts - and if anyone else has info to provide, please do so.
All the best for the new year.

That's the one squashmad!
One shop is not far from the Merit Hotel in Lefkosa with the other being on the main Lefkosa/Famagusta road.

If you look at Turkish Airlines you may be happy to bring your bike for an extra 30 Euros! That must be cheaper than bike hire here?
