Things To Do In Toronto: Bike Tours

By Thomas Powell


When you go on tour there is plenty of admin that needs taking care of. If you plan to take your bike with you, when looking for things to do in Toronto, it would mean having to pack it carefully, carry it around and making sure that nothing happens to it especially before the tour starts.

The main problem with bringing your own is that you would have to look after it the entire time and if you plan to stay a little longer to sight-see, you will have to continuously worry about damage or loss. This is why so many people opt for hiring so that they don t have to bring along packaging. They can park it wherever they go or even give it back to the store until they are ready for it again.

Rental stores are just like any other, the aim is to make sales. Most of the time, they are not familiar with the criteria required when someone asks for a cycle specifically for lengthy races. The tires need to be a certain thickness, the handles need to be a certain width and much more. If you are also unsure, you may want to bring along someone to guide you.

Usually, with big races, they rarely happen locally especially if it includes people from all over the world. This means your cycle needs to be in great shape and you may not want to use it to explore the city as it may cause damage before the race. This is where hiring comes into play. It will allow you to spend your free time exploring places that you have never been to before as well as seeing it up-close.

Always choose a hiring company that offers a fee for insurance. Anything can happen whilst exploring or even whilst in the race and these companies will charge you a large fee that could possibly be more than purchasing the cycle itself. The insurance is a small fee that you pay that will cover and damage caused whilst in your care.

Online shopping offers complete convenience. If you are planning to take part in the race, your mind would be on keeping fit and making sure travel arrangements are done. The last thing you can do is get to the city and not be able to contact or find cycle stores. This is why you may want to book it before-hand to avoid any mishaps or incidents.

If you are adamant about using your own cycle, keep in mind the costs to have it transported to your destination. If it is abroad, it will cost much more than expected. A way to get around this is to ask the rental store to do the shipping on your behalf. They may get discounts and it will be safer coming from a business than a personal package.

There are plenty of reasons to settle for a rental while you are in a new country. However, have a plan in place so you know how long you need it for as well as where you would be traveling to with it.
