  • This review is for a bike hire for 2 people. The bikes were picked up in Cagliari and dropped off in Olbia following our multi-day hire with their one way transfer option. The team was highly communicative and accommodating throughout the process including when we were 1 hour late to pick up the bikes on their day off due to the train strikes. The bikes (Canyon Small and Large) were in fantastic shape and we were given extra tubes, tools and locks at no cost and hired a bike rack for our car and high quality helmets. The guys in the shop are absolutely delightful and we were pumped to find them on the roads of Sardinia throughout our rides. Thanks, Gio and team! :)
  • Today we visited Sardinia cycling on a whim. We did not have reservations, and they normally deal with more expensive clients. But they accommodated my partner and I, and found some bikes for us to ride, as a result we had a wonderful day. Thank you everyone at Sardinia cycling SRL. 5 stars!
  • I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a bike from Giovanni at Sardinia Cycling, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the shop, Giovanni and his team went above and beyond to ensure that I found the perfect bike for my needs. Giovanni's expertise and passion for cycling were evident from the start. He took the time to understand my requirements and preferences, guiding me through the selection process with patience and insight. His attention to detail ensured that I found the ideal size and style of bike, providing me with confidence in my purchase. Moreover, Giovanni and his team ensured that the rental process prior to my purchase was smooth and trouble-free. They handled all the logistics efficiently, allowing me to test the bike thoroughly before making a decision. Their professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction were truly commendable. Overall, my experience with Giovanni at Sardinia Cycling was outstanding. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone in search of quality bikes and exceptional customer care. Thank you, Giovanni, for your outstanding service and for making my cycling experience truly memorable.
