Girona has loads of shops, but on future visits Bike Breaks will always be my go-to for bike rental or picking up necessities for several reasons:

-Bike shops can be unfriendly or pretentious places, and you'd expect that to be magnified in a town like Girona. There's none of that here: the shop feels open to everyone, staff are friendly, and they proudly shows their connection to the pro scene in Girona without feeling too cool for the rest of us.

-They organize an awesome Thursday ride that's free and suited to all levels of riders, a must-do to find good roads for those of us who are visiting.

-The owners seem to really care about people enjoying Girona, and offer up plenty of free advice and route ideas, even while I was riding the aforementioned free shop ride and hadn't spent any money in the shop.

-Finally, when I have rented from the shop the bikes were well taken care of, fairly priced, and with something for everyone (mid-range to high-end, road, gravel, e-bikes, etc).

No other bike shop except Bike Breaks has welcomed me, (and others), like part of their family. Dave, Saskia and all the team care about the cyclists who come in and do their best to meet their needs and exceed expectations. I first rode with Bike Breaks last year and and based on that great experience, I knew who to book with for my next cycling holiday.

I had just returned from Girona, having booked 3 private days of rides with Bike Breaks’ guide Josep and had a fantastic time. Josep pointed out all potential road hazards, like potholes, and gave me an excellent lead on descents, which made me feel very confident on the roads. We explored different areas of the beautiful region on each of the days, climbing up the hills to stunning views of the countryside or beaches. The lunch stops meals were very good, too. Josep gave me not only advice on race strategy and cycling technique, but also told me of the history of the places we visited. He is an encyclopaedia of information. Furthermore, he gave me help above and beyond what was expected when I had a problem with my car.

Girona is a great place to cycle as the drivers are respectful, the scenery varied and best of all Bike Breaks is there to provide you with what you need, whether it is a bike rental, tour guide, advice (not just cycling related), or even your cycling cleats adjusted (thanks, Dave!). I highly recommend the shop and the area and will be back again soon.

The Bike Breaks Team cancelled my booking for the bikes in June and I'm still waiting for further informations about the refund... haven't recieved anything yet. Probably I will be forced to take legal action.

I'm pleased to to say that Bike Breaks Girona is open and just as helpful as ever. What has to be the friendliest spot... for cyclists in town ran a great shop ride this Thursday... and even remembered me two years after my last visit! Met some great people and picked up some good tips for my two weeks here. It felt like hitting the road with a club you didn't even know you were already a member of! Great to roll with these guys againread more

7 of our group hired bikes from Bike Breaks this week, the bike were well specced and in great condition. Staff were... helpful with route advice etc, and were happy to let those of us who’d brought our own bikes use their track pumps, as the hotel ones weren’t great! Unfortunately didn’t get much opportunity to browse the kit on sale as the shop had to shut due to coronavirus lockdown, but if you’re in Girona I’d definitely recommend popping in!!!read more

I road with today’s group ride and to say that David was a strong group leader, is an understatement. Safe,... informative, thoughtful, etc. I’d highly recommend this group ride to folks from out out of town. Three cheers to David-his passion is contagious! He goes the extra step with the album!read more

Wanted to thank you guys again for an awesome experience, special thanks to Josep who we did a guided tour with. We... really enjoyed and learned a lot a about the area, which is so spectacular but laid back at the same time. Josep even gave me cycling tips, which helped in my IM 70.3 Worlds at Nice. I heard his voice in my head- saying “no fear” on the descents. Moltes gracies!!! ❤️😊read more
