This is a ladies' bicycle to hire and ride yourself in Sri Lanka, the kind of upright town bike with a low step-through frame that is easy to get on and off in everyday clothes. It is a simple, sociable way to get around a beach town, a lakeside neighbourhood or the lanes between guesthouses, cafes and markets at your own pace.
The saddle is cushioned and adjustable, and a front basket carries a day bag, a bottle of water or whatever you pick up along the way. Front and rear reflectors are fitted. Frame material, wheel size, brakes, suspension and gearing vary between the bicycles in the fleet, so the one you receive may be single-speed or geared.
A helmet and a first-aid kit come with every hire, along with 24/7 roadside assistance. If the bicycle is damaged in an accident or breaks down, a replacement bicycle of a similar category is arranged around the clock.
The bicycle is insured under a vehicle rental fleet cover for the rider, the bicycle and third-party damage, and your own liability is limited to the refundable deposit taken at the start of the hire. The minimum rental period is seven days, which suits a longer stay in one place rather than a single outing.
