Eat Sleep Cycle - Girona Cycling Hub.: Reviews
Fantastic experience: We did an event with them. Nicest most welcoming team. The ride to France was amazing thank you!
Fantastic experience: Amazing, recommend it 100%
Fantastic experience: I rented a road bike: everything perfect. Thx
Fantastic experience:
Exceptional service received from the workshop staff last Thursday evening, 30 minutes before closing, to replace a broken spoke on my ENVE wheel. After visiting 3 other bike shops in Girona without success, the guy at Eat Sleep Cycle took care of my repair despite the late hour and did an impeccable job fixing my wheel that same evening so I could ride the next morning. Being from Canada and on a cycling holiday for the week in Girona, I really appreciated this service. Professional and very welcoming staff, I highly recommend this bike shop, truly a 5-star service, hats off to the whole team!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I don’t usually leave reviews, but the team here truly deserves it. Everyone is incredibly friendly and goes out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. The shop is fully stocked with the latest and greatest gear—everything you didn’t know you needed—and they’ve got some of the nicest bikes you’ll ever ride. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience:
Thanks to Felix for your kindness. Nice place for a coffee, beer or to eat. We will return!
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience: Took my bike in on Saturday at 5:45pm as I'd had a problem with the chain during the day's ride. I had to wait about 40 minutes but Antonio was very helpful and friendly. He was able to regrease my ball bearings and replace a spoke while I waited. Cost €42:00.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend eat sleep cycle more for renting your bike in Girona. I had a Willier SL that worked great for the enthusiast cyclist. I was supposed to have carbon wheels but it had on alloy and they switched it right away. I had a flat one day and unfortunately the saddle pack was missing the 6mm so I needed to get a taxi back into town which they refunded me for. Great service all around. Also hit up the cafe pre or post ride!
Fantastic experience: Very customer focused! On two separate cycling trips to Girona I have had mechanical bike issues. In both cases Eat, Sleep and Cycle has expedited repairs within two hours to diminish cycling downtime on a one week trip to Girona. Great bike shop!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place if you want to share good times after epic rides. The great organizer of group rides also. A must to try!
Fantastic experience: Great experience riding with the guys from ESC whilst staying in Girona, it happened to be their Anniversary cycle on my second weekend here, had an amazing time and got to tick off MDM with a great group of people!
Fantastic experience: Lovely store, cafe and welcoming community in Girona. Fun group rides too ✌

Best coffee in Girona with a perfect cycling atmosphere. I recommend it! The food is great!

Fantastic experience: Great place, great service and great people. They really take care of cyclists here, they go on big rides and the prices are very reasonable for repair and servicing your bike.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic shop with great products. Saved my bacon several times on a trip to Girona
Fantastic experience: Brilliant and fast service, super nice employees! I’ve been travelling by bicycle, and they fixed my issues straight away while I waited in the shop. Shop also has a brilliant selection of bike gear and nutrition. Thank you a million!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely top-notch rental. I use e-bikes now because of a condition. The Trek didn't let me down. Great electronic shifting of gears and battery. Rode the Mare De Deu Del Mont Loop (120km) and still had 40% charge left at the end. Bikes were all well maintained. Their cafe is brilliant for breakfast. Highly recommended. We didn't do all the rides we wanted so will be back next year. I know where I will be hiring my bike from. Once again thank you.
Fantastic experience: I’ve ridden bikes all over the world. For a 10 day gravel riding trip to Girona in a group of 10 riders most of us hired bikes from Eatsleep. Communication was excellent, no problems trying to get a bike fitted and one or two people needed a bike change. All no problem. These people are very good at what they do. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience:
Great service
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience: Good bikes though a little pricey, very friendly and knowledgeable staff make for an overall very good experience. Pedals seem subpar, especially for the extra they charge, and expect a queue to take your bike.
Fantastic experience: Been coming to Girona for a few years now and these guys are a central hub for cycling. Fantastic shop with lots of cool gear. Their hire place is excellent with lots of amazing bikes. For me, the workshop is incredible, especially Antonio who saved my holiday twice over the last couple of years with emergency repairs to my bike that I brought over. Lee and the team have built an amazing community in Girona and I can't wait to go back. Cheers
Fantastic experience: If you're thinking about joining one of the Eat Sleep Cycle Group Rides - Register and DO IT! Yesterday was the Vallter 2000 organised ride and what a ripper of a day! Not only was the whole day super organised by Louise, with clear briefing, route, awesome ride fuel to get us to the first rest stop - it didn't stop there. The support vehicles and super nice guys were waiting at each of the set points with food, water, gels, bars, drink mix and encouragement. In addition to the organisation, what a great bunch of riders to form bonds and memories with. I won't lie... it was a slog to get home in the heat and wind but we looked out for each other and got it done. Back at ESC it was beers, pasta and stories all round. My only suggestion is to run these every week! Thanks for a top day out, some great memories... and sore legs.
Positive experience:
I'm looking at the website and it only works in English. It doesn't work in Spanish or Catalan. I also don't see the bicycle sales section. Thank you.
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience: I was looking for sunglasses from Oakley, when walking past I saw that they had multiple models for sale. I had some questions and a very nice gentleman helped me to find the model that suited me the best. He gave me great advice and was very nice to me. I would definitely come back if I would live nearby!
Fantastic experience: Great company, nice people take the time to adjust your bike!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend for bike rental or any advice in Girona.
Fantastic experience: Nice place to have a beer post ride. Very conveniently located on the way back, shaded from direct sunlight, not overcrowded, overlooking fellow riders. Quietly reflecting on the epic sprints you have won while riding with your buddies up in the mountains.
Fantastic experience:
We went to have an espresso, a latte, and a piece of apple pie. The coffee was very good and the apple pie was super fluffy, not too sweet (which is appreciated) and crispy on the outside. The place is nice. Inside they have air conditioning and outside there are two places with tables on the terrace. The restrooms are spacious and very clean. They also have a brunch menu and some tapas. I recommend it!!

Fantastic experience: I was in the Perpignan area and spent a long time looking in vain for special small parts for a Fazua drivetrain. Then I came to Girona for a visit and happened to pass this friendly bike store. I asked for Fazua accessories and was sent to the workshop. The guys took care of it immediately and looked for comparable screws from a box with which I could solve my problem. They were totally relaxed and super-nice, and I didn't even have to pay for the small parts. I hadn't expected such a fantastic, friendly service. Many thanks to the whole crew!
Fantastic experience: Professional mechanic and top service. I rolled in late in the day with one of those mysterious bottom bracket noises and Antonio managed to fit me in and resolve the problem. My bike is rolling smooth and silent and I feel like I received a lesson in bike maintenance at the same time.
Fantastic experience: I did the "Classic Climbs of Girona" with three friends from Oregon (USA) - and we were beyond impressed! The two guides were wonderful (Guisep, Zippy), the routes are so beautiful and epic, and every evening the dinners were top-caliber and included excellent wines. If you are looking for a quality outfitter for Girona or other locations, LOOK NO FURTHER. We were all so impressed and commented amongst ourselves how pleasantly surprised and impressed we were. The "Classic Climbs" isn't easy, but it was conducive for epic rides that we won't forget. We stayed at Hotel Ciutat - the rooms are small which is (normal for Europe) but otherwise the breakfasts were great and the hotel is centrally located with everything in walking distance.
Fantastic experience: They've always been so helpful whether I've been renting a bike or turning up at the shop with a minor repair issue. Antonio was especially friendly and helpful and fixed my small issue with my folding bike straightaway this morning.
Fantastic experience:
Unmatched attention. Both mechanics were really nice, they made room for me to fix a couple of things on my bike and they did it with a smile. Highly recommendable, I felt super comfortable at all times. Top place!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: I got outstanding same day service despite the town being full of people for the Traka. Antonio even stayed after the store closed to fix my bike. He pulled out a tube I had to put in as the tubeless did not hold pressure, he even cleaned the old liquid to make sure not to mix brands before assembly again. Top service from Antonio.
Fantastic experience: Great shop, friendly service, amazing rental. I bought a beautiful bike there, got some bike fitting and it was ready the next morning. During the last days, my friend crashed on one of their rentals - they fixed what was broken and didn’t even ask for a service charge or let him pay for the scratch on the pedal or derailleur. I can definitely recommend Eat Sleep Cycle to everyone.
Fantastic experience: I hired a bike for a week in April. There were some initial problems getting it reserved but ESC resolved the voucher issue. Bike collection and drop off was super smooth. Being able to use their lockers exceeded my expectation. Having ESC branded rental station, bike shop and coffee shop grouped together is very cool. Keep up the good work guys.
Fantastic experience: I bought a new racing bike here, which I used during my holiday and then had sent home to Germany. Everything went really well, especially Mike's advice beforehand, as well as Antonio's technical service. Very friendly, very fast and reliable. Antonio even repaired the first minor paintwork damage that occurred during a tour without being asked, before sending the bike home to me. That's what I call service!
Fantastic experience: We had an excellent lunch today and super service from the team. The weather turned and we were moved inside and looked after very well. I had the keto plate and my husband had the salmon wrap - both fantastic. As usual, excellent. See you again in the summer!
Fantastic experience:
A perfect pack of superfoods and cycling club. The food is tasty, healthy, and made with fresh products. The service is friendly and professional.

Fantastic experience: As an avid cyclist training in the beautiful terrains of Girona, finding the right spot for nutrition needs was crucial for me. 'Eat, Sleep, Cycle' has been an absolute game-changer. From the moment I stepped in, the welcoming staff made sure to understand my training regimen and nutritional requirements, offering tailored advice and products. Their extensive selection of high-quality, cyclist-specific nutrition products is impressive. Whether you’re looking for energy bars, protein supplements, or hydration solutions, they have it all, and more so, products are from top brands known for their effectiveness and taste. The store’s ambiance, with its cycling-themed decor, creates a community feel, making every visit enjoyable. As someone training far from my home in Montreal, the personalized service and expert knowledge at 'Eat, Sleep, Cycle' have been invaluable. Highly recommend to any cyclist looking for top-notch nutrition support in Girona.
Fantastic experience: Rented a Ridley gravel bicycle for the weekend from them. Got top class service, adjustments and recommendations. Plus they got a high quality bike shop and a vegetarian coffee place. Very good experience.
Fantastic experience: Antonio in the workshop was really helpful this morning. He helped us seat our tyres after getting them out of the bike boxes. Highly recommended for helpful and friendly service for people travelling with bikes.
Fantastic experience: In Girona for a long weekend and finished every long trail run here. Menu was simple, filling and tasty, plenty on offer and just what was needed. Cafe was clean, tidy and inviting. Staff very friendly and accommodating, especially Logan and Alaitz.
Fantastic experience: Eat Sleep Cycle (ESC) is a great brand & bike shop in the heart of Girona. I rented one of the road bikes for about a week and thought it was well worth the price. I had a concern regarding the bike's tires, the mechanic took a look, and replaced the tire to reassure that I would be safe while descending the incredible climbs in Girona. Additionally, ESC had organized a group ride where I was able to meet other cyclists and ride on some awesome roads. Lastly, they have a cafe right next door that serves great coffee & food at reasonable prices. Truly, a one-stop shop while you're in Girona. Cannot recommend enough!
Fantastic experience:
Excellent service and the midday menu is delicious :)
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Eat Sleep Cycle is highly recommended for their fully equipped workshop for all bike servicing needs. They offer excellent service for a wide variety of bikes, ensuring a quick turnaround to get you back on the road without any hassle. With a well-stocked inventory of parts for mountain bikes, road bikes, and gravel bikes, they've got you covered. Also good to know: their expertise extends to e-bikes, making them a fantastic choice if you need a BOSCH motor software update. You can trust in their commitment to delivering outstanding service and ensuring your cycling experience is smooth and enjoyable. Give them a try, and you won't be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: I recently rented a bike from Eat Sleep Cycles and I have to say it was a great experience! The staff was really knowledgeable and helped me find the right size bike for me. The bike was in excellent condition and I felt safe while riding. I appreciated the fact that they had a full range of bike accessories for rent as well. I would definitely recommend Eat Sleep Cycles to anyone looking for a reliable bike rental service.
Fantastic experience: 3 Great shops in one, the cafe which does great coffee and is a cool place to hang out after a ride, the maintenance side then the shop with lots of options and great kit. Whilst on this occasion I was not shopping for myself I found 2 beautiful jerseys with the Eat Sleep Cycle logo on with very happy faces on delivery. Great shops, very friendly team, and certainly worth a drop in if you are in Girona.
Positive experience:
They are very nice and the place is very beautiful.

Fantastic experience: Started my bikepacking tour in Girona today and realized I’d left my set of spares back at home. I didn’t expect to be able to replace everything easily, e.g. my tubeless puncture repair kit. Not only did they have every single piece of equipment I needed but they were extremely helpful and passionate about cycling culture!
Fantastic experience: After I booked the Air B&B and flight for a cycling trip to Girona, Spain, I looked into renting a bike ahead of time for the week I’d be staying there. Eat, Sleep, Cycle had a fairly expansive presence on the internet because of all they have to offer, from the delectable goodies, coffees, and teas in their cafe (and live music on Friday nights) to a variety of clothing available from their retail kit shop (including a high-end eponymous line of clothing) to a separate retail store for bikes, components, and accessories, to descriptions of rental bikes available from their separate rental bike shop, to a helpful list of recommended road and gravel routes throughout the region (which are available as downloadable maps for cycling computers). The online process for choosing a rental bike and then booking it was easy and quick, and they had a number of different kinds of bikes available, all very high-end with sticker prices in the thousands. However, I had paid more per day for lesser bikes that I’d rented in the U.S. I booked my Basso Astra and looked forward to a fun week of intrepid exploration and spectacular riding. Which is indeed what I ended up experiencing, but only after my iPhone was stolen by a pickpocket as I boarded the train from Barcelona to Girona. That first day was miserable as I made my way to the Air B&B by asking locals and cafe employees for directions and taking notes on the only paper I had with me—the pages of a book of crossword puzzles I’d picked up at the airport (I wouldn’t even have had a pen if it weren’t for that). I found my way to the Eat, Sleep, Cycle cycling hub centrally located on the edge of the old city where employees were immediately helpful when I’d mentioned my stolen phone. Mike gave me the wifi password so I could finally connect my computer to the internet, and the barista brought over a large bottle of cold water. As I was unable to load my maps onto my cycling computer without the companion app on my phone, Mike would later hook up my cycling computer via cable to the store desktop and sync whatever routes I wanted onto my device. If it weren’t for that, I would have been lost—unable to follow the intricate directions needed to successfully navigate these multi-hour loops. The mechanics in the rental bike shop were laid back and extremely helpful with the initial bike fit and any questions or concerns I had later in the week (they even advised I stop in midweek so they could swap out the batteries for the electronic shifting system). Employees in the retail clothing store gave me an immediate 10% off on E.S.C. brand items. The bib shorts and jersey that I got there are the most well-made and high-quality that I’ve ever owned. And they were priced competitively, even without the 10% off, less expensive than similar but more poorly made items from several other bike stores in the old quarter. The city block that E.S.C. takes up, with its cafe, outdoor seating, equipment shop, touring office, clothing shop, and rental shop, is truly a hub where any cyclist can spend much of their waking day when not actually on the bike, eating, drinking, shopping, and hanging out with other cyclists. When I return to Girona, I will definitely rent from E.S.C. again, and I look forward to picking up more clothing to add to what’s becoming a high-end collection of kit.

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing time on a Eat Sleep Cycle, self-guided trip through Cosa Brava. The staff at Eat Sleep Cycle were a pleasure to work with. They put together a wonderful trip with great routes. They obviously knew the best tracks to take in the area. The bikes were very high quality. The communication was good and everything was well organized and timely. I can’t say enough about Roger and his customer focus, and ability to improvise. We requested a couple of changes mid route, due to our own specific needs, and he was able to come through with great options. We would use them again in a heart beat.
Fantastic experience: I purchased a Factor Ostro bicycle online, equipped with the new Campagnolo Super Record wireless group set, and I had the pleasure of being assisted by Chris Edge throughout the entire sales process. As a dedicated bicycle enthusiast, I had high expectations for this purchase, but I must say that this bicycle exceeded all of them. The attention to detail in component selection and the quality of assembly are truly exceptional. It's a fantastic job! What truly set this experience apart was the outstanding support I received from Chris. He went above and beyond to ensure that my bike was delivered in time for my upcoming race, which was scheduled shortly after I placed my order. Thanks to Chris and the entire team's dedication, I had the pleasure of participating in an excellent race in the Swiss Alps with an extraordinary bicycle. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire process and the exceptional product I received. Thank you, Chris, and the entire team, for making this experience unforgettable. Your commitment to meeting timelines and delivering a top-notch product is truly commendable.
Fantastic experience:
A 10 for the workshop! I took my bike to repair. After a couple of days, the back light, which was something I asked them to check, stopped working. So one day I went with my family to have a coffee at their café and since I was there, I went in to ask. As soon as I mentioned it in the workshop, two mechanics came out to the coffee square, took my bike and returned it to me perfectly in 10 minutes. Excellent service!! Thank you very much. I'll be back.

Fantastic experience: I am just back in Ireland having spent 9 days in Girona. Eat Sleep Cycle was like a home from home. All of the staff members were so friendly and welcoming. The cafe / bar is amazing. The pinnacle of my trip was the Vallter Slayer last Saturday, what a fantastic event that I will be back to do again!! Many thanks again to Louise, Lee and all of the staff in Eat Sleep Cycle.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Vallter Slayer 2000 ride today with Lee, Louise and an amazing crew. Great support, loads of fun and great new friendships. If you hit Girona, highly recommend anything they do.
Fantastic experience: Joined the team for the Vallter Slayer. Great organisation. Felt looked after the whole day. Start and finish at the cafe. Always great service, great food and overall one of the most accommodating places for cyclists in Girona!
Positive experience:
Details that are worth a lot.

Fantastic experience:
Highly recommended. The follow-up for the purchase of an electric gravel bike, looking for solutions at any time.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Very helpful, my groupset was not shifting so good when I arrived...(out of bike box) I called in for help..they did an immediate tune up on the indexing & derailleur adjustment on my bike, very reasonable price. Chris is very helpful with local advice on routes & good deals on nutrition. The food in cafe is very good...the combination breakfast is the best value in town. Logan is great in the cafe. Great for post spin coffee. Very highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Amazing breakfast in Girona. Logan was so attentive and recommended super yummy dishes. We loved the granola and pancakes. Super fresh OJ too. Rubin made an amazing latte with a unicorn of foam milk. I will definitely be back (probably tomorrow)!
Fantastic experience: This is the best bike shop in Girona in terms of customer service and mechanics. I had an issue with my Di2 and the mechanics fixed it quickly and efficiently. I also got a new tire put on and they had exactly what I wanted. Chris is such a joy to see when you walk in the shop, always smiling and a pleasure to speak with. Everyone knows their stuff here, I highly recommend for all your biking needs when visiting Girona.
Fantastic experience: Rented road and gravel bikes and purchased clothing and nutrition on several occasions. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Service department is also great. They saved me a couple of times with priority repairs on the spot.
Fantastic experience: Fixed my own bike twice during a two week holiday (including finding a broken shifter that impacted my front brake). Would have been in trouble if they hadn't so very grateful. Each time it was fixed on the same day and they talked me through what work was done. Very good value.
Fantastic experience: Eat, Sleep, Cycle, ...Great Food and Drink, and above all Wonderful People. That's what I'd name this place. Became our daily routine. The rental shop has amazing bikes, the mechanics are quick and ready to help, the merchandise is of the highest quality, and the cafe has a great selection of food and drinks. Everything you need. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Thank goodness for this place being open on a Sunday! What a relief. The staff were beautiful and accommodating charging my phone. Logan was such a nice guy! Free water refills is a WIN on a 35 deg day.
Fantastic experience: When I was in Girona at the end of May this year, I had several issues with my bike (di2 issue, ratchet issue,...). The service these guys offered me was best in class. They were very helpful and did all they could to get me back on the bike as soon as possible, and this is what makes one happy. They all do it with a smile and you feel welcome each time again whatever problem you have!
Fantastic experience: I had a great bike rental experience at Eat Sleep Cycle. I wasn't prepared to bike on our trip so didn't bring everything I'd need but figured I couldn't pass up biking while in Girona. They have a wide selection of bikes to rent from at a range of price points. I ended up renting a gravel bike and riding the Via Verdes trail. The bike was in great shape and nice and clean. Luckily they had a pair of bike shoes my size I was able to use. A great experience overall!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience renting bikes from here. Bikes were top and in great condition! We had a flat tire and the whole team was super helpful to help us, all with jokes smiling laughing and happy vibes. Antonio the mechanic is amazing ❤️
Fantastic experience: I had a broken spoke on a carbon Roval rim while in Andorra. I tried 4 shops in Andorra including a large Specialized store. Nobody was able to help. Antonio at ESC in Girona fixed the spoke. He did an excellent job despite being very busy. The job was fairly priced. Thank ESC. Great work
Fantastic experience: Great bike hire and central location. Affordable option. Staff were friendly. Quick to issue bikes even though we hadn't booked. Happy to make adjustments to seat height and recommended routes available. No issues.
Fantastic experience: Great experience with the bike rental. Easy booking process, fast pick-up and friendly staff. And for the first time ever I had a saddle that was more comfortable than the one I have at home :)
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the amazing team at Eat Sleep Cycle. First and foremost, a big thank you for organising the airport pick-up. After the long flight from Australia with two bikes and a ton of luggage, having the airport pickup made our experience so much smoother and hassle-free in getting to Girona. Our driver Raimon was absolutely fantastic. He was super helpful, friendly, and truly went above and beyond. Now, let's talk about the workshop. I was thoroughly impressed! Not only was it well-equipped, but the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were incredibly professional. I had the pleasure of interacting with Pablo the bike mechanic, and he was an absolute delight. Nothing was too difficult, he was patient listened to my concerns and allowed me to sort out a few things on my bike while I was there as well. Overall, I can't praise Eat Sleep Cycle enough. The service provided is top-notch, and the people working there are simply amazing. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of bike-related services. Thanks again for everything!
Fantastic experience: Great coffee and food, wonderful bike rentals, and amazing bike apparel. When we arrived two of our group’s 6 bikes were not available. The Manager made it right by giving us a discount and accommodating us as best they could. The busy time at the shop was a bit chaotic, but we were happy with the outcome and the flexibility of the Eat Sleep Cycle Team. May update after we get in three days of riding!
Fantastic experience: Best mechanic in town, fixed a wheel after my race (traka 200) on a very busy weekend, ready in less than 24h. Not expensive, very friendly, job well done (saved the sealant from the wheel)! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place, both if you're there for the café or for the bikes \o/ I went to Eat Sleep Cycle café almost every day in Girona, it's a perfect spot for a beer in the sun after a bike ride. I rented a bike on my first day there, but unfortunately, the bike was not working well. There was something wrong with the gear and that made my ride of 100km quite annoying. I told them about the problem and they looked at the case. A couple of days later I was approached by them and was told that they found the fault and that they would like to return the money for the bike rental as the quality was not how they want it to be. That was a perfect way to deal with the issue and show how serious they are with their business! Well done, guys! I would definitely rent there again and recommend it to anyone!!
Fantastic experience:
Excellent and professional service. Communication via WhatsApp is fast and effective. Attention to preparation times for delivery, they can be long (one week for a bike), but then delivery is really fast (24h from Spain to Italy). Frame kit received in perfect condition, well packaged. Thank you!
Translated from Italiano
Fantastic experience: Feels like home! I stopped by their service shop without making an appointment and I was attended to in a very efficient and welcoming way. Immediately a mechanic named Antonio took care of my bike. If you are riding around Girona, this is a MUST GO place. Not only for the great service shop but also for their premium coffee spot.
Fantastic experience: Their service is amazing. For our friends visiting Malaga, I have rented a bike several times. Every time the bike is clean, well-maintained, and adjusted to the length and weight of the rider. Jose and his team are an added value for Malaga. Their location in the historic center is perfect.
Fantastic experience: I managed to bend the gear hanger on my bike when putting it back together after travelling to Girona. They rapidly sorted it out and charged only a minimal sum for excellent personal service. Thank you so much for your kind attention to my problem. I highly recommend ESC for any bike servicing.
Fantastic experience: This was my third time renting bikes from the ESC guys, and I can just recommend them if you plan your next cycling vacation. No matter if it's a guided tour, shopping, rental or you’d just jump in for a good coffee or meal. Both in Girona and Malaga you will be treated well..:)
Fantastic experience: Excellent cycle experience. From the main shops to the rental, and cafe everything was superb. Hired 2 road bikes for a couple of days, the bike I initially rented wasn't available so got upgraded for no extra charge. Excellent condition and spec on the bikes. Garmin mounts were also included on the bikes which is always handy. Staff in all of the shops were super friendly, just down to having a general chat about the area and what we were up to rather than pushing any products or services. There was an organised gravel ride for one of the days which we were unable to ride, but there were plenty of people there for the ride which shows how popular the place and people are there. The shops themselves were excellent, boutique-like with high-end products from bikes to clothes. Would definitely recommend and will use again when back in Girona. A friend and I commented that if they had some of the apartments above the shops it would be a perfect cycle holiday destination as they would have their own little corner of the market in Girona.
Fantastic experience: Been here a number of times for goods & services, and it has always been an incredibly friendly & helpful experience. Antonio, the mechanic, is fantastic - he fit the work into a really busy day, did a great job, and even took the time to lend some maintenance advice. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience:
Very good service, attention, knowledge, and very good cycling material. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: My train got delayed and arrived in Girona one day later. Mike moved my booking to the day after. This is top customer service. Besides, the whole Eat Sleep Cycle team is super nice. Thanks Pablo for the recommendations on a ride!
Fantastic experience: Great mini break with Eat Sleep Cycle! They were super accommodating and flexible with a very last minute tour request in Girona. Definitely look forward to joining a future ride again either in Malaga or Girona.
Glad you had a great experience and look forward to welcoming you back soon :)
Fantastic experience:
Simply spectacular!! Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding. We went during our vacation and loved it. We will definitely be back.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Super cute spot with yummy, quick food. Our server, Logan, was great! (A transplanted fellow American who even charged our phone for us. ;)) Cute indoor and outdoor seating on the edge of the gorgeous historic district. A perfect light dinner (have the lentil salad!).
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic service and super friendly staff. My friend and I hired two gravel bikes for the SGRAIL100 competition in Girona. The bikes were excellent and exactly as described on the webpage. I had a Ridley Kanzo Fast with a butter smooth SRAM gear shifting which took me reliably through the 93km with 1100m gain. The shop is an absolute recommendation.
Fantastic experience:
The best cycling store in Girona, quality brands and excellent service from the staff, in my case Mar attended to me and I was delighted with her advice and explanations. The prices are not cheap but you are paying for quality for several years. I will definitely return.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: There are a lot of great bike shops in Girona, but this one is among the best. All of the staff -- from the shop, to the rental desk, to the cafe, and even those I cycled passed on the ESC tours van -- are super warm and friendly. All of the ESC folks seemed interested in conversing and connecting with me, and not just because I was a customer. That genuine culture is awesome to have in a company. (The shop was always slammed by the way, as they are quite busy!) The bike hire was really simple. They were quite patient with me and helped me dial in a setup, as I forgot to bring my tools/torque wrench. I highly recommend interacting with Eat Sleep Cycle, whether you rent a bike, just browse the shop in Girona, and/or stop by the cafe. They have a really great thing going on here!
Fantastic experience:
Good place to get started with filtered coffee. I had never tried it before and we liked it a lot. However, maybe they served us too much in a jug for just one person. Ideal for going with energy all day!
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience: Great experience from booking my bike to picking it up. Bikes are in a great condition with the basics been taken care of, just bring your helmet and cycle shoes and ride. Thanks to Mike and Mar, great service!! Will definitely use again!
Positive experience:
Quite good coffee ☕️, nice outdoor terrace, the vegetarian burger for €12 with a salad bouquet was not bad, but it didn't blow us away either (lightly filled, little sauce). The service was attentive and friendly.
Translated from Deutsch
Fantastic experience: Great shop and service. We were able to pick the bikes up the night before our reservation so we could hit the road early. The bikes were clean, well setup, and finely tuned. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: First of all, I have to say the whole team of Eat Sleep Cycle was very kind to us! With a group of friends, we rented some bikes for a 4-day bike packing trip and everything went very smooth. The mechanics adjusted the bicycles as we requested and remained patient with me when I requested more little changes. On top of that, they checked the Strava routes we made ourselves because we didn’t know the region nor the roads. Now, the people at the shop were also amazing. We had a good chat with them and they made us feel welcome. The same goes for the café, which makes it the perfect cycling experience. Well done guys!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant experience. We rented road bikes for a few days, they were spot on, super nice guys working at the shop, friendly and always ready to help. We also stopped by the cafe a couple of times and the service was superb. Friendly, polite and smiley people. (As a side note, there were some very rude clients around and the cafe manager handled the situation perfectly. It would be great if one could review clients as well, they would for sure get a ZERO.) The food was also decent and not too pricey. 100% recommended if you are into cycling or just want to sit for a beer or a bite! We will definitely come back, thank you thank you Eat Sleep Cycle! Cheers.
Positive experience:
Quite pleasant, good place, in the heart of the old town of Girona, under the trees the place feels very nice, it offers not only a good coffee with milk, with a good aroma and taste, but also sells bicycle items and even coffee. Friendly and pleasant service.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with the team at Eat Sleep Cycle, Girona! The bike I hired was perfectly serviced, spotlessly clean and an absolute pleasure to ride around the beautiful roads of Girona. The team was friendly, super efficient and were happy for me to leave a small bag in a locker at the store. The Eat Sleep Cycle coffee shop next door is also such a convenient spot to meet your riding friends and to ride from. Pricing was very fair and I would highly recommend this rental business to all my friends planning a trip to Girona. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Felt like a professional shop and service. My bike was fully ready for Transpyrenees, but I bought their water bottle as a reminder of this beautiful place.
Fantastic experience: There are a LOT of bike shops and bike rental places in Girona. This one is great. Friendly and helpful employees, outside seating for the cafe and convenient to get out of town quickly on your ride. The large number of pros at the cafe and the long line of riders returning their bikes at the end of the day tells you how popular it is. Don’t return your bike at the last minute or you’ll be stuck in that line too!
Fantastic experience: These guys are awesome. In-store service was obviously awesome. But I happened to catch a tour guide leading a group on the coast, told me about the best beach to stop at, where to put my bike, etc… Overall just a great team and store. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience:
I was very happy with the bike rental service! I was looking for a mountain bike for a one-day route, but they told me that the closest thing they had at that time was a gravel bike. Since I have no idea about road bikes or gravel bikes, I decided to give it a try, and it was a fantastic decision. The service was impeccable, and they answered all my questions about the bike and more in person.
The rental period for one day is from 9:00 to 19:00, and the base price ranges between €40 and €55 for gravel bikes. You can choose flat pedals (without clips) for free, which was perfect for me, and many other extras like a helmet or a child seat for an additional fee. You must make the entire reservation through the website one or two days prior and pay at the moment.
The bike includes a small bag with a spare tube and tire levers, a pump, and two bottle holders in my case. Other important things you consider will have to be provided by you. Think about getting some bottles or flasks that fit in the bottle holders to stay comfortable and hydrated.
I took a bike with an aluminum frame and a carbon fork for €40 and was thrilled. Super lightweight and all the mechanics worked like new. I was amazed at how agile and fast you go on a gravel bike. I was also surprised that it's not as uncomfortable as I had heard due to the vibrations and imperfections of the terrain. Additionally, the grip was quite good on any type of path, even with mud, loose stones, or a bit of sand.
Overall, I'm very satisfied, and I think I will repeat it on other occasions. If you've never tried this type of bike, this is an ideal place to do it (I'm talking about both the store and Girona). The price may seem high for one day, but it's well worth it, and it's what high-end bikes usually cost (not cruiser bikes).

Fantastic experience: Lovely people. Lovely bikes. Top quality service. Did I say lovely people?
Fantastic experience: Great bikes & service, fantastic friendly staff! Couldn’t have been any better!
Fantastic experience: These guys salvaged my holiday after I arrived with a broken bike, they sorted me out with hire of a bike every day for a week at the last minute. Great bikes and fantastic shop to boot. They even organised our taxi back to the airport for us! Will use again, check these guys out if you're in Girona.
Fantastic experience:
Purchase and the service. Very personal and professional.
After 4 months, I had a significant mechanical warranty issue. And they have been more than super correct. They solved everything without delays…. MORE THAN RECOMMENDABLE…. Super good

Fantastic experience:
Without a doubt, I recommend this place if you have a problem with your bike. I had to run the TRAKA 360 and at 7 PM the day before, my tire burst. I immediately went to EAT SLEEP CYCLE, recommended by the organization, where they attended to me super quickly, and fixed the tire in less time than it took me to have a beer... in any other shop you would have sent me to fry asparagus for having the shop as full as this place was, and I'm speaking from the experience of over 10 years competing on 2 wheels... BRAVO GUYS! thank you for leaving my bike as you did and allowing me to finish the 360 km without problems!!!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Awesome service, can't praise the whole team enough. Arrived in Girona with a snapped internal Di2 wire. Without Wilhelm John & Lewis the 2 mechanics a weeks cycling would have been ruined. They sourced the wire and worked through their breaks to get it sorted, top lads. Their workstands were full of bikes after a big event but they helped me out immediately and saved my holiday. Huge thanks guys. Cheers.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Used their amazing service which was meticulously planned for a self-guided tour with my boy around Girona and Costa Brava. Everything was planned in great thought and detail with a perfect match of length, up-hill, and mix of days to allow recovery before harder days. Terrain choice was also perfect and provided a mix of everything. Recommended stops were also nicely planned though some may require checking for opening hours/day. The hotel choice was superb, diverse, and unique. Bikes supplied are in great shape. Overall logistics (e.g., transfer of luggage) was impeccably done as well. Really amazing experience and feeling we're in super good hands even when completely alone in the fields with the supplied navigation. Best way to do a biking vacation!!!
Fantastic experience: Rented two bikes for 8 days. Great selection of bikes and reasonable prices, but, more importantly, they were awesome to work with throughout the process. I made some reservation changes over the course of a few months prior to the rental, and communication there was easy. There was also a minor problem with needing some brake rotor truing a couple days into the rental, and they fixed that promptly. Super experience all around.
Fantastic experience:
They undoubtedly have the best range of bicycles and the best mechanics service. Entering the store is very dangerous if you don't want to fall in love.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: True pros with pro gear in the ultimate cycling location - their website is top notch. Was bummed they didn’t offer Strava routes or Garmin rental. Definitely stop by their cafe next door for pre and post ride food.
Fantastic experience:
Very original concept!!! We went for breakfast and were very surprised. They have a menu with a great variety of sandwiches, healthy combo dishes, and coffees/teas, juices. ✅ Very good quality of ingredients and very well-presented and original dishes. You can tell they put care into preparing them. Lunch for 2 diners: Approximately €20 (Left the menu with the full assortment as of 12/2021). We will return!!

Positive experience:
Surely a cyclist will feel at home. The service is correct. The prices may be for European tourists. The Spritz we had was good (despite the lack of orange) but with the highest price (on the terrace) in Girona.
Translated from Catalan
Positive experience:
Very clean and good service. Excessively expensive, I ordered a supposedly large cappuccino, the other one is normal but they served me one in the smallest possible café au lait cup, meaning, poor but good, at a very high price.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: This review is about the 'eat sleep cycle' lunchroom next to the bikeshop. Perfect coffee/espresso from real coffee lovers and specialists.
Fantastic experience: Thank you ESC for your quick and personal service, sending me a new frame when my current bike broke down. The Palta frame arrived within 4 days (to Sweden). You will stand highly recommended amongst my fellow cyclists! I'll be back;)
Fantastic experience:
Brutal experience renting at Eat Sleep Cycle. Very well-maintained bike and very friendly service. Girona cyclist paradise ❤️
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: This shop provides a consistently great experience! Just one example; I stopped in unannounced regarding an issue maintaining headset compression with my Basso Palta (purchased at ESC last year). Despite being in the midst of a bike build, Willem was kind enough to stop and explain the issue with the stem design and how best to fix it. Wonderful to have access to an expert, who's willing to share his insights. (His fix worked, btw!)
Fantastic experience: I got this very cool MTB thanks to this amazing online shop. It only took 3 days to go from Spain to north of France (free shipping). I'd definitely recommend this seller.
Positive experience:
Cool store, good clothing material, very attentive and friendly staff, local, the one I liked the most, without a doubt, we will return.

Fantastic experience: The bicycle was delivered to Sweden in 4 working days. My husband assembled it in an hour without any issues. Many thanks to the Eat Sleep Cycle team, and special thanks to your mechanic for an excellent job. Packaging was excellent; wheels, rotors true; gears, brakes function out of the box with no adjustments needed right after assembly; lines are cut to the proper lengths; hoods sitting exactly where they should.
Fantastic experience: This is a lovely bike shop in the old town part of Girona. They have a great selection of brands (Oakley, 100%, Maap, Patagonia, No22, Moots) and there is a great attitude about the whole place. Very sympathetic. Their workshop prices are also very very reasonable, and far below what I’d expect for such a high-end shop - easily to be recommended.
Fantastic experience: I found myself unexpectedly without a bike. Due to the bike shortage, I found myself not really interested in anything locally here in Toronto. My previous bike was a Focus purchased from a dealer in Toronto, before Focus stopped distribution in North America. I liked the brand, so naturally, I started looking at newer Focus options, finding myself liking the Izalco Max. Eat Sleep Cycle had one in my size and specs and to my surprise, it was on sale! I contacted them through WhatsApp and Bernat responded promptly, sent pics, answered all my questions, and made the purchase very easy and friendly; they even sent me some extra Eat Sleep Cycle goodies at no charge. The important thing was, the company made me feel at ease about my first big purchase online, especially all the way in another country. When Bernat was off, Chris would step in and reply to keep me posted. I had a little issue with FedEx at the end, but no fault of Eat Sleep Cycle, I would gladly take my business to them again. Hope to one day check them out in person and take a tour through Girona. Thanks, Eat Sleep Cycle team!
Fantastic experience:
A very professional store with exquisite taste.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: I contacted Eat Sleep Cycle about a Basso bike. Chris was extremely helpful and straightforward to deal with. I bought the bike and as the UK had just left Europe, it was imported into England. The import took just over a week, and I had to pay 20% VAT. When the bike arrived it was exceptionally well-packaged. Initially, I put it onto my bike trainer, so I was able to set it up ready for a first ride (dry weather, of course!). The bike handles superbly, it's responsive, and resilient. Descents are great because of the confidence while riding. All in all, a great bike. I have no hesitation in recommending this company, based on my experience. If their holidays are as good as their service, in a future year, I will be looking. Thank you Chris and colleagues.
Fantastic experience: The bike I wanted was only available as a demo model. Chris made sure the bike was as new and we came to a satisfactory agreement to compensate for some minor paint damage. Communication and shipment (I bought online) were very smooth and I am extremely pleased with the bike, by far the nicest bike I've owned. If you have the budget, this shop is highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I was looking for a special gravel bike and found it on eatsleepcycle.com. Throughout the order, we had contact via e-mail where they responded quickly and kindly. You can also call them. I sent my body data to them so that the size was right and it worked very well. They were very accommodating and helpful with all my questions and requests. I was able to buy extra parts and change the specifications of my bike. The whole bike was very well packed and the transport went excellently. It was a very nice experience to buy a bike from eatsleepcycle and I can definitely recommend you to buy from them. Very satisfied and fantastic customer service. Thanks for everything.

An excellent service, on 04/10/20 I rented a Ridley road bike for €35 to participate in a triathlon, I received the best possible attention, very high-quality bike, good price, with a mark and spare tube, pedals, a staff of 10. Always with a smile and very professional. :)

Fantastic experience: I have had the great luck of cycling many destinations, and have been in hundreds of bike shops globally. Let me put this very simply, this is the best, most knowledgeable, professional shop I have EVER been in! No pressure, spends all the time you need to making a decision, but most importantly does not try to oversell you and wants you to be happy at ALL times! If you are in Girona, or in the area to cycle, or need bike gear or cycle shopping, go!!! As I like to say, The Best, FULL STOP.
Fantastic experience:
Good bike shop, accessories, and everything related to this means of transportation. The experience was great, very well attended, and with a lot of empathy. Thanks for the advice.

Fantastic experience: Bought an ex-rental bike from them (Ridley fenix sl disc ultegra). They called me and all details were sorted out over the phone. Then they provided me with a tracking number, so that I could follow the parcel on its way through Europe. It arrived well packed, and all I had to do was to pop on the wheels, the rear derailleur, and turn the handlebar and I was ready to go. The bike is in very good condition. Of course, you could tell it had been used, but nothing major, a little paint chip here or there but you will have to look pretty closely to find them. Mechanically it's perfect. Chris from their office was a great help throughout the whole process. Very recommended - if they run their rental business anything like the way they sell their used bikes, you can't go wrong if you are in the market for a rental bike in Girona.
Fantastic experience: Purchased an ex-hire bike from these guys. From start to finish they were brilliant. Communication was excellent & the bike arrived & was exactly as described. Highly recommend & I would definitely do business with them again (just need to get another bike past the wife!)
Fantastic experience: What an amazing shop! I went on a trip with one of the guides who brought us out to Sant Grau, which had some epic climbs and coastal views. I also rented a Ridley, which was sensational to ride and just gave hours of power. I’ll be investing in my own Ridley now. Couldn't recommend them highly enough! Thank you ♀️
Fantastic experience: The customer experience was fantastic! Easy booking through website - used chat bot to ask a few questions... immediate/helpful response. Once I got there, the people at the shop were extremely helpful in getting me set up for my rides: showed me routes, set my Wahoo Roam up... even gave me an electrical charger adapter... My bike was perfectly tuned and ready to go. If you’re ever in Girona, do yourself a favor and connect with Eat, Sleep, Cycle!
Fantastic experience:
Professional and perfect treatment. WE WILL REPEAT!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Fantastic people, service and atmosphere. The fact that I had problems with my cycle ironically only made the experience better. I returned to the shop after the first ride to report some concerns. None of which would have stopped me from riding the bike if it was my own. Anyway, they listened with genuine concern and made sure I was not planning on riding anymore that night as they would have organised a cycle for me. They took the bike in and had it ready for me in the morning. Unfortunately, new concerns arose on the next ride and I returned. They basically thanked me, took the bike again, offering me another cycle if I wanted, and had it sorted. Cycles, as we all know, suffer strain especially when you're in a place like Girona with big climbs and lovely long fast downhills. The concerns I reported were nothing but noises that would have been ignored if it was my bike. It was just such a nice place to ride and such a lovely quiet place that I reported. To be honest, it was more for my sake as if something had gone wrong with the bike it would have been no good saying 'ohh on the first day it was doing this and that'. I let them know so we all knew. Excellent service, lovely people and a great city. 100%
Fantastic experience: Decided on a whim to rent a bike in Girona. They had great bikes and service. I got the impression reserving would have been a good idea but a solid Basso cross bike was available. It cost me a bit more for shoes but they got me all set up quickly. I just rode from the shop and found my way (after a bit of wandering) to some great road and gravel riding. A map would have been helpful but there was decent cellular map coverage. Extremely memorable and a great adventure! Now I hope to return for a longer stay.
Fantastic experience: Great place to hire a really cool road bike! Welcoming and friendly staff, great machine (Factor O2), they fitted my pedals, a woman saddle, and the whole bike to my measures (brought the report of my own bike fit to have all the relevant figures). They also have really nice kits upstairs! Will definitely come back, thanks for helping make my first gran fondo an unforgettable experience.
Fantastic experience: Our members are used to very high levels of service at our Club on London’s Pall Mall and at our Country Club in Surrey. Lee and the team at Eat Sleep Cycle delivered an experience which delighted our group. They went the extra mile to ensure that all aspects of the trip were up to the standard we are used to. Transfers, hotels, bike hire, support vehicle, guides and bespoke roadside catering were all excellent and delivered the ‘Tour de France’ style experience we were looking for.

Fantastic experience: Best bike rental shop in Girona. I had a Factor with nice custom color. Worked nicely and the mechanics were helpful with pedals etc. Good cycling around. We did trips to Rocacorba Mare du Mont etc. There are some group rides but you can manage easily with Garmin routes. Recommended ♂️
Fantastic experience: Absolutely perfect! I just completed the Pirinexus route with my wife and we used Eat Sleep Cycle for bikes, accommodations, baggage transport, and navigation. I cannot say enough how easy they made our trip. I scheduled the vacation from thousands of miles away and it was seamless. Every detail has been considered by this fantastic group of passionate cyclists and it’s clear they want to provide the best, and they do! I encourage anyone considering a cycling vacation to consider the Pirinexus and use Eat Sleep Cycle as your guide. One of the many pleasures of our trip was to work with and meet such a wonderful group. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: This time round I did ESC's Christmas Week in Girona Tour, after previously renting out bikes from them twice already in 2018. All the staff in the shop are great and the guided rides for the week were fantastic with the guides knowing their stuff about their routes, and having the patience with me, especially when getting up Rocacorba. I also bought an ex-rental when I was out, and they wrapped the bike, seeing as it was Christmas, a great touch, see pic. There was also a few nights out planned which were great, and we had Christmas Lunch in a cracking restaurant Can Pol with a crew and fellow cyclists, see pic. The place to rent or buy any of your cycling needs when you're in Girona.
Fantastic experience:
A few months ago, I discovered Eat Sleep Cycle while strolling through Girona. At that time, I was only riding a mountain bike and had tried the road bike a few times. Due to my recent initiation into triathlon, buying a road bike was going to be my next step, but I wanted to try a few more before making the investment.
I walked in without much expectation, as I thought it was a place exclusively for tourists. When Lee greeted me, I was amazed by his friendliness and the good vibe in the club. He quickly showed me several rental options and explained the different routes and trips that ESC organizes. Moreover, I was left in awe of the place! The products of the highest quality, the workshop, the service they offer, the location right in the center… everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail.
That's how, a few weeks later, I returned to rent a road bike: Ridley Fenix SL 105 Mix. Comfortable, carbon, with a spectacular geometry, a good brake system, 50/34 chainrings. It was the perfect bike for my cycling training! Plus, being short has its advantages: it had been rented very few times and was like new. It coincided with the end of the season, which is when they sell the rental bikes, so more than words about the experience, what I had were facts: The next day I was back at the club to pay a deposit for it.
Brian was very kind, explained a ton of things for its care, fitted everything for me, and offered me the services I am entitled to for having bought the bike, which are not few!
I have been enjoying my bike for almost three months now and I am more than satisfied. Additionally, I went out one day with the ESC girls' group. Louis organizes these outings. Fun, friendly, and attentive, with her you are guaranteed a good time. Going with them is the perfect combination to practice your favorite sport in incredible settings, meet new people, and practice English.

Fantastic experience: Best Shop in Girona! I have visited Girona a number of times. Great place for Triathlon training. Didn't have great experience with local bike rental shops before. This time I used Eat Sleep Cycle. Totally Class AAA experience. I used their service to unpack and re-pack my TT and also rented a classic bike. The mechanics are super, I have been traveling for years and yet to see such professional packing. The bike rental service is best of class. Most important the staff is nice, professional and eager to help. I will be back! Don't think twice, the best in Girona! Dr. Uri Geiger

I had the opportunity to go out with them on the opening day of the store. What a detour to get to Rocacorba. A lot of skill. Very kind and attentive.

Fantastic experience: Looking to rent a bike in Girona? Look no further. Great service from very friendly staff, they made sure everything was perfect before I set off. High quality bikes, at fair prices. I couldn't recommend them more. I'll definitely be renting from them again next time I'm in Girona!
Fantastic experience:
An amazing store!!! A lot of international cyclists' atmosphere that were about to go out riding with a guide.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Fabulous place to hire bikes in a fantastic part of the world to cycle. Having had several years in Majorca for our cycling trips, we fancied a bit of a change this year, so booked a trip to Girona. Eat Sleep Cycle were superb. The communication whilst organising was great. The bikes we had were really top notch. Overall highly recommended. And the cycling has been superb. We will be back.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience! 6 of us just completed a 6 day, 600km cycling trip with 15,000 feet of climbing. Eat Sleep Cycle did an amazing job making this a truly once in a lifetime experience. It began with their detailed planning of a customized trip. They were incredibly responsive every step of the way. And their expertise of the different routes, options, food and hotels ensured that everything would be great. Once we arrived in Girona, that superb level of service continued. I brought my own bike and they picked it up from the hotel, put it together and made sure it was working properly. Once out on the road, our guides for the week, Lee, Rien and Peter really shined. They supported us in every way possible, from detailed explanation of the routes, terrific food during stops and strong pulls into the wind! Despite the complexity of getting 6 flatlanders over a dozen cols through 2 countries and 6 hotels, all of the logistics were perfect. Most importantly, they made the trip an incredible amount of fun. I couldn't recommend Eat Sleep Cycle more.
Fantastic experience: Rented an Orbea Ocra (The Beast according to Brian ;-)!) via the website for three days and was pleasantly surprised how it handled and was set up! Brian did a great job helping me out and picking the bike up at our B&B in Sant Marti Vell after I had already returned to the flat plains in The Netherlands. Great service Brian! All in all I had three great days cycling in the Catalonian sun going up some hills, seeing lovely panoramas and enjoying the bike. Needless to say I fell in love with Girona and its surroundings: I will return. Keep up this great business you guys at Eat Sleep Cycle!
Fantastic experience: Every fit cycling enthusiast should ride the Pyrenees and Eat Sleep Cycle has put together a fantastic trip to do just that. Their inaugural trip in September 2016 was a huge success. Brian, Lee, and Louise, the owners of Eat Sleep Cycle, made it fun and they understand the need for hydration, nutrition, and rest on such an epic ride. Every night we stayed in great places that were quiet and we had huge delicious meals. On the road, we had excellent support ensuring we never got hungry or thirsty. The route was absolutely magnificent. I would highly recommend a trip with them.
