OUR BIKES
OUR BIKES
Our fleet of bicycles for adult sizes consist of road bikes 49” to 60”, hybrid bikes 49” to 58” and electric bikes 50” to 58”. The road and hybrid bikes are Specialized brand and the e-bikes are Sinus. Road bikes have thicker treads to prevent flats. The seats are fairly wide and padded or choose racer style. If your bike size is not listed, don’t fret, we have access to comparable bicycles. We do not rent our bicycles; they are part and parcel of the tour package. Bicycles are included in the cost of every tour, with the exception of electric bikes which are an upgrade for 300 euros for an eight day tour.
ROAD BIKE
Our Specialized Allez road bikes were built for speed and comfort. The bikes combine minimal weight, razor sharp handling, and exceptional efficiency. They feature feather light aluminum frames with carbon fiber front forks. For cyclists wanting Drop Handlebars we offer the Allez Sport, 18 gears, double chain ring, 34/50 crank set front and 11/32 rear cassette. See Allez Sport Specs.

CARBON ROAD BIKE
The G7 is an ultra lightweight carbon road bike made by BH, a family enterprise in Spain manufacturing high end bikes since 1909. Weighing in at 17 pounds (8 kg), the bike is a pure carbon machine — frame, seat post, handlebars — all carbon which makes it an ideal match for Greece’s hilly terrain. The G7 is a minimalist endurance bike for cyclists who want to enjoy the road and their rides. See Bike Specs for G7.
HYBRID ROAD BIKE
Trek FX2 and Trek FX3 are versatile hybrid road bikes (also known as fitness bikes). Both have an aluminum frame, flat handlebars and powerful disc brakes. Both are lightweight at 25 pounds (11.3 kg). Both are compatible on asphalt and loose terrain with semi-skinny tires. The main difference is that FX3 has a single front chain ring and 10 gears while the FX2 has a double front chain ring and 9 gears. There is no advantage per se to one over the other – they are both primed for performance, comfort, and utility. See FX2 Specs. See FX3 Specs.
HYBRID CITY BIKE
Our Specialized Crossroads XC Expert bicycles are built for adventure and comfort. They are constructed of sturdy and lightweight aluminum frames which are supplied with front suspension forks to smooth out the ride. The bikes have triple chain rings with 27 gears and flat “H” handlebars. They ride lightweight onroad while durable for offroad trails. See Hybrid Specs
ELECTRIC BIKE
The Winora Yucatan 12 is a trekking bike designed for long distance tours. It is sturdy, reliable, easily maneuverable and comfortable. It is a pedelec which means the motor will not take effect unless it is turned on and you pedal. The e-bike is non-governing in compliance with European regulations that cap speeds at 25 k/p/h. The bike weighs 25 kg, 55 lbs but, like all e-bikes, the excess weight is trumped by the power boost.
The Yucatan 12 has four drive modes – High, Standard, Eco, +Eco. The modes are easily accessed via the control display unit mounted on the handlebars. The 630 watt battery permits distances up to 250km, 155 miles at an average speed of 20 km/h on lowest mode. The Yamaha compact rapid charger fully charges in two hours

Tag alongs are for youngsters ages four to nine weighing no more than 35 kg, 77 pounds. The bike has an orange safety flag.
