Pedal Power Cycling Ltd

Rented two bikes for our Coast to Coast trip. Great bikes, convenient delivery, clear and fast communication. Always a pleasure to deal with professionals. Looking forward to the next trip with pedal power cycling

Fantastic self guided tour on the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway. Pedal Power set up all we needed to enjoy a fantastic tour.

We ride a lot of bikes but still found the 4 days of cycling program challenging enough. The Dales has a lot of climbing which provides amazing views.

We had a great experience with Peddle Power on our coast to coast Hadrians Wall bicycle trip. Ian was excellent in helping set everything up, and Darren was excellent for support out on the trip, full of good tales, suggestions, and helpful information. In general, the Pedal Power folks are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and well organized. We wanted to do a bicycle trip across the Hadrians Wall route in UK but had little knowledge of the route, accommodations, sites, etc. Pedal Power was great to work with, full of good suggestions, never pushy (another company that works in the area can be described as such) and always responsive. They also provided good bicycles for us. We had first arranged our trip in 2021, but Covid busted that deal. Pedal Power was completely understanding and accommodating for cancellation—no troubles. On our 7-day trip May 2023, our accommodations were good to excellent, located in great areas, had good food and drink, and good atmosphere. Darren’s logistical support was flawless. The bikes performed without a hitch. Based on our experience, we can certainly recommend Pedal Power; in point of fact, we are thinking about a second UK bicycle trip and will use them again.

Can't rate pedal power highly enough for the recent journey back to st. Bees from Newcastle after our coast to coast with our bikes.
They were prompt and efficient and got us back in good time for our celebratory pub meal. Darren, our driver was fantastic and I would recommend this service to anyone needing any help or assistance with their own cycling adventure.

We hired 2 bikes to cycle the N1 coastal path. Great bikes, great service and very reasonable price. Each bike came with a tool kit, lock and pump and was in great condition. 100% recommend.

We hired bikes just for one day - 3 adults and a 12 year old - and had a lovely bike ride from Amble to Alnmouth (via Warkworth) and back. It was self- guided as we're local to the North East. The bikes were comfortable, very reasonably priced, good availability, and communication was very easy. I fully recommend Pedal Power and will definitely be hiring from them again in the future.

My partner and I did the 4-day C2C on road bikes (25 and 28 m tyres) using GPX files produced by Ian at Pedal Power – they were perfect – we only got lost a few times and that was when the Wahoo lost the route but C2C signs were easy to find – just carry straight on until the next one appears. We are a reasonably fit couple in our mid to late 60s and the rides were challenging but we both got up all the hills without stopping (even the three miles up Hartside pass!) An idea of timings is as follows remembering that this was a holiday for us not a race: Day 1 to Keswick we cycled for 3 h 30 mins, day 2 to Alston we cycled for 5 h 10 mins, day 3 to Knitsley we cycled for 4 h and on day 4 to Tynemouth for 3 h and 50 mins (including some backtracking when lost!). The last stage is a short distance but takes time as there are quite a lot of busy roads to cross. Darren picked us up in Tynemouth and drove us back to Whitehaven. He was delightful and extremely knowledgable about cycling and tempted us with some other rides for the future. The bag transfers were also handled by Darren, seamlessly. It made the whole trip so easy (even carrying a stirrup pump in one bag). Accommodation was varied but good quality and we ate and drank well every evening. We had no punctures or technical problems, but having a list of bike shops along the route and knowing if the worst happened we could call Pedal Power was reassuring. We stopped at the bike shop at Nenthead to chat to the owner and a couple with Pedal Power turned up with a bike problem and Ian was on the phone to the shop owner straight away – very reassuring and professional. We would recommend Pedal Power for a great experience.

Really enjoyable ride along the Sandstone way. Good accommodation, great route information, well organised bag transfers and smooth pick up at the end of the ride. Very well organised. Many thanks to Ian, Darren and the team at Pedal Power. Will certainly be using Pedal Power again.

We had been planning to do the C2C for years. Coming all the way from Mexico we knew we would need as much support as we could get. Ian and crew were there to help us through our whole journey and the experience was fantastic since the first engagement; giving advice, bookings, ensuring all our questions were answered, and adjusting the itinerary to accommodate our needs. On-route support was also excellent and they did go the extra mile to ensure a seamless experience for us. I will not hesitate to recommend Pedal Power to all my fellow cyclists wanting to travel all the way from Latin America for an unforgettable cycling experience in the UK.

Amazing trip organised by Ian for us to sample the joys of the coast & castles coastal route. Excellent support with pick up and drop off by Ian and Darren, plus efficient bag carriage between the wonderful hotels and B&B’s they organised for us. Bike hire made everything so very simple so we could enjoy our weekends before and after the ride, in Tynemouth and Edinburgh. Thanks for another great trip!

Wonderful trip round along the Northumberland Coastline for a couple of oldies on electric road bikes. The accommodation they selected was excellent - very friendly and charismatic; the bag transfer was totally efficient; the route was fascinating. The only glitch, which was not in any way the fault of the company, was that in places the route is poorly signposted and in other places unsuitable for road bikes, so an online subscription to OS maps is worth having.

We did the Hadrian’s Wall wall-only cycle with Pedal Power. We really enjoyed the trip and the riding and would highly recommend. The experience was good from the initial enquiry and throughout the trip. Ian and his team were all very helpful and everything went smoothly throughout - all the logistics were perfect. The trip was well planned - with good riding days - and the accommodation options were well chosen with some real stand-outs.

Thanks to Pedal Power for their great service. The bikes were very good and the team very helpful. We spent 5 very nice days on the C2C.

Was a delight to deal with company from initial communication with pedal power to delivery of excellent cycles they talked me through whole process and wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone wanting a cycle hire couldn’t go wrong with this company.

A fantastic week cycling coast to coast with Peddle Power. Ian and his team organised excellent accommodation, transfers and advice.
Great route, scenery . Please thank Darren the transfer driver.
Will definitely book with Pedal Power again.

Rented x2 mountain bikes for a half day (4 hours) ride up the coast. Great value for money and set us up great for a lovely day out :)

Had a wonderful few days cycling from Solway to Tynemouth. Hotels and recommendations for coffee and dinner were all excellent. Thank you so much. Our.luggage was always there to greet us and Ian kindly collected us and took us back to the station. Looking forward to next year.

We were on a bike ride today for charity and the gentleman who helped us repair the chain on the young man’s bike we support. Helped us no questions asked and sent us on our way to a lovely cafe in cresswell. Such a helpful man and made the journey a success!!
Would recommend this bike shop to anyone as he was friendly and such a great help. 😁

Great communication and support, and wonderful places to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our cycle trip along the Hadrian's Wall Cycleway.

Very well organised and good value. We used Pedal Power for a bespoke coast to coast trip. Ian and his team were very approachable, responsive and helpful. Would recommend using this service if planning a cycling trip and we would use it again.
