good bicycle rental place in helsinki area
Posted: Thu June 26, 2008 09:33 PM UTC
i am training for an ironman race in the fall. i am looking for a nice bike for long rides (5-7 hours of length) where i will cover up to 180km. any thoughts? there is a greenbike.fi website but the hybrid bike does not look that good. is there a higher end store/place that might rent a real triathlong bike? i could take my own bike for the three weeks that i am visiting my wife's family in helsinki but it is a pain to disassemble bike, reassemble bike and it is expensive to bring it with me on the flight from nyc to helsinki....appua...

I do not think that anyone has a special triathlon bikes for rent here, because in Finland almost everyone have a bike (and a boat) this rental kind of business is not that developed here.
I found one place that is renting nice bikes as seen in the link here:

But with the prices it will cost you for 3 weeks and the euro - dollar rates these days, maybe bringing your own bike is not such a bad idea after all.

Hi!
I know one shop what rent bicycles.
http://www.chebici.fi/
http://www.chebici.fi/index.php?section=2
Shop is in Jarvenpaa, what is 40km from Helsinki
I know that they have road bikes but don't know if they rent them.
If you have any Fin speaking friends they can ask from the bicycle clubs or riders forum
http://www.fillarifoorumi.fi
One club (moutain bike) with english pages is
http://www.mtbcf.net/content.php?content.49
e-mail them there are members from the road raceing too
or
e-mail to jari.aaltonen@heltri.net
member of the triathlon club helsinki
Funny that I coudn't find an english pages even from Helsinki university bicycle club.
