TopBikes Rental Altea

Amazing service from Patrick, a former pro cyclist. He went above and beyond to make sure I was properly fitted on the road bike I rented ( Pinarello Angliru with Di2 components) even working around the normal posted business hours. I didn’t think it was going to be necessary at the time but he offered to come get me if I ever had any problems on the bike. True to his word he came to my rescue when I suddenly experienced a major unexpected road hazard.
I will definitely rent again from Patrick when I return to Altea and I highly recommend you do as well. 6 out of possible 5 stars !!!

Amazing service from start to finish.

I'd planned a last minute cycling trip to Altea and when I arrived it became clear my bike I'd brought with me had been damaged in transport! I quickly started looking for places to hire a bike as a backup plan should I not be able to get my bike sorted easily.

I asked locally (Hotel Cap Negret) & they recommended Topbikes, but explained they wouldn't be open until the following day. So that evening I went onto Topbikes website which was super easy use and booked online expecting not to hear anything until the following the day, around 5 minutes after placing the booking I had an email from Patrick confirming he"d seen my request and said he could have the bike ready for me for when they open the following day, The next morning I was met by Miguel who had the bike ready and setup to the specifications I'd requested (stem length, cassette size, bike position, etc) and off I went.

After one ride on my chosen bike I went back to the shop to see if I could swap it for another bike as I saw they also had some Pinarello's and thought I'd like to try one, Miguel happily swapped the bikes over made all the same adjustments on the new bike and while he was doing this I explained about what had happened to my owe bike, Miguel suggested I bring it in for him to have a look at.

less than 24 hours later I'd been informed my own bike had been fixed! I'm now back home and my bike is working better than ever, and have fond memories of a fantastic holiday thanks to Patrick & Miguel.

Thank you

I am a member of a cycling club (NBCC) here in North Co Dublin, Ireland . We recently returned from our cycling club away trip. I was the organiser of this trip. I don't often write reviews but I particularly wanted to write a review of Saskia and Tim at Topbikes as they simply couldn’t have done more for us and the trip was fantastic. They really deserve to do well with their business.
From the first communications with Saskia late last year, to our final day of our trip Saskia and Tim couldn’t have looked after us better. The communications with Saskia was always very easy and prompt, the package they offered was exactly what we were looking for and their cost was competitive. Unlike other larger operators over there, their payments terms were really flexible and reasonable.
We stayed in Cap Negret hotel just outside Altea. Honestly the hotel was FANTASTIC. In fact we all agreed the photos don’t do it justice. Lovely rooms, many with great views, location right on the beach, and most importantly within easy cycling distance of mountains and numerous climbs,. There's a reason the pros stay here! Also - fantastic bike facilities .
There were 27 of us in total of varying skills and fitness levels. We had a number of cycling groups each day, all led by very experienced guides. Saskia and Tim did a fantastic job of organising all the groups, different routes each day, fabulous scenery in the mountains , and for many of us it was the best cycling experience we have had. They even managed to time a coffee stop on the last day so that we bumped into the world road race champion Remco Evenepol!
The bikes were very well fitted to each of us in advance (as per our bike measurements given in advance). Weather was perfect sunny temperatures!. Organisation – 11 out of 10!
Saskia even helped us greatly with booking local restaurants for a few nights as we choose not to eat in the hotel every night as we like to eat outside the hotel for a bit of variety .
I couldn’t recommend Topbikes more. They made my job so easy . I had put in lots of hours researching various providers in the area and getting quotes before contacting them. So if you are a member of a cycling club looking to book a trip in Costa Blanca - save yourself some time and hassle and go straight to Saskia and Tim at Topbikes. You won’t do better!

Excellent service from people who care and know cycling inside out. Great location, fair prices and best quality bikes. Well done Patrick and team.

We hired e-city bikes for 2 days, staff couldn't have been more helpful from booking, all equipment and map with suggested routes. We had a great time exploring outer Altea and seeing some new wildlife. Would recommend.

Great bike rental from Patrick and his staff. The bikes are excellent quality and value. We had some comfort adjustments made by Patrick very quickly so we where soon on our way again. We will be back for our third visit soon.

Really good bikes, great value for price. Polite and really nice service. If you need a rent good bike in area - this is the place! My bike was fitted for me, got map with the rides, owner was flexible with opening hours (my plane got delayed due to fog in London and I was worried I won’t be able to pick up the bike in time). I recommend book bike in advance and call to agree the pick up details.

10/10 would recommend! Would rent there again in a heartbeat.

Patrick was super helpful and offered the best service! We discussed everything before so the road bikes felt like our own! Cycling on a Merida scultura was an amazing opportunity for us to try carbon bikes in basically new condition.
Patrick offered us to get the bikes the night before so we would already have them at the first day.
Thank you so much again! We are for sure coming back!

Great display of bikes. Called in when my di2 battery died and was kindly helped out.

Fantastic rental services from ex cycling pro Patrick and his wife Kathy. The bikes are of high quality and have been maintained excellently. Also very nice for the hilly type of terrain are the disc brakes.

But what really makes TopBikes stand out is the hospitality. Patrick and his wife are so friendly and welcoming. They really want to make sure you have a great time cycling around Altea.

I will come back here!

Rented Bikel Bikes for a few days. Allowed us to travel further than our legs would carry us and not have to rent a car to do it. Patrick and Miguel are very friendly. Good internet booking system and able to adjust bikes for height, etc. would recommend.

Excellent bike rental service. Me and my partner who are both cycling novices walked in and enquired about renting bikes and Patrick couldn’t have been more helpful. In half and hour we had secured two bikes for use the next day and were given a handy leaflet with six routes to take with detailed descriptions of their difficulty and distance.

The next day we returned to the shop with two bikes waiting for us which were then adjusted to suit our heights. The bikes were top notch and smooth as anything to ride and by the end of the day my partner and I had covered all but one of the routes.

For €25 you can’t go wrong and it has definitely spurred me on the buy a bike of my own and start cycling more often now I’ve returned home.

5/5

perfect bike, no trouble at all, good and friendly service by owners Patrick/Kathy. absolutely a great place to rent your top-level road bikes for Altea area.

I rented a road bike for two days (minimum ) in advance online.
The very friendly owner was always reachable and courteous.
The bike was in top shape and I was pretty happy with it.
On site you are able to download certain tours and the owner supported and advised professionally. I can definite recommend and thank you for that professional service .

Can just confirm the previous reviews: excellent and we'll maintained bikes coupled with outstanding and flexible service, flavored with true hospitality. This is service at its best. Thanks Patrick + Team.

Top Bikes were first class in all aspects from rental to guiding. Additional praise for Saskia for booking the hotel Deloix in Benidorm which was a very late request and turned out to be great meeting all our needs. My cleats were not compatible with the latest version of the look keos and Patrick went out of his way on Sunday to fit the older version. Not forgetting Tim for his attention and friendliness to both Noel and myself. Thoroughly enjoyable experience...look forward to the next trip.

Absolutely the best service. Patrick contacted me well in advance and we discussed bike setup. Just just jump from your own bike and sit on rented bike without noticing it: same size, same setup. Bikes are well maintained, looks almost new. Who wants to stop somewhere in the nowhere with broken unreliable bike. But not with one rented in Top Bikes. They are really TOP!

Really enjoyable week cycling with TopBikes Rental & Tours in Altea. Bike setup perfectly and the guides were great. Really knew the area and routes. Would recommend.

It was a great pleasure. The bike (Pinarello Angliru) ran like a train and was in perfect shape. Patrick is a great host and super gentle, nice and of course super cool!!

Thanks go to Patrick and his team - Great service!! 5*
We stayed at Diamante Beach in Calpe and the very new and perfectly serviced bikes were delivered exactly at the time agreed. Communication throughout was great and time was taken to give us a few route tips whilst up in the mountains.
Why hire elsewhere -these guys care about their customers.
