RÊVE DE VÉLO | Ventoux

As a 6’3” rider I’m always skeptical of a store having my size. I struck luck at La Route Du Ventoux. The service was impeccable. This is the rental store you need for your epic climb up the Ventoux. They were also able to supply me with a mount for my Garmin Edge 530. I brought my bike shoes and they also had look pedals in stock to fit my existing cleats. One thing to note for my future self is to pack my power pedals as most rental stores don’t have power meters in stock including this one for rent. Doing the Ventoux on perceived effort worked out great as I’ve done the climb virtually on Zwift. I was quite thrilled with my performance as I beat my Zwift time by 20 minutes. Be wary of the Strava segment at the finish as it finishes at the Tower. Best of luck on this most epic memorable climb. Also, doing the climb from Bédoin and descending via Malaucène is the route I took and surely recommended.

Another amazing experience with France Bike Rentals/ Reve de velo. My husband and I rented bikes for 7 days in early October. The bikes were set up exactly to our measurements and worked flawlessly. All the guys in the shop were wonderful and extremely helpful. Highly recommend!!! Will be back again.

Fantastic bike hire company and shop. Made my morning cycling up Mont Ventoux a pleasure. Bike was ready in the morning and didn’t need any adjustments, shower at the end, all staff friendly. Perfect.

We digitally made an reservation for two bikes. Upon arrival they really took the time to make sure the bike they selected for us was our size and helped with choosing the right route to climb the Mont Ventoux. The service is really great, the online form was very easy to fill in and the people in the store were very helpful and compassionate with what they do and the bikes were super! I would definitely recommend renting with them!
