bike hire
does anyone know where i can hire a decent mountain bike- my wife has expressed and interst in going for a ride so i was hoping to hire a decent bike so she will get the most out of it and therefore more enjoyment therefore more likely to want to get a good one, dont want to buy a cheapy if she only rides it once and decide she doesnt like it. dom

Hi Dom
If you were to ask certain local bike shops they might let you test a bike for a fee. I know several shops that do this on high end bikes, I have done it before. I think the fee is around $100 for the day but she will get a top notch bike which is what you want her to ride if you want to create the right impression
If this sounds like the ticket PM me and I can tell you where I went, but I would imagine there are a few shops that would do this, to be honest it would be in their interest I would think.
Manly Cycles does hire... although I note their pricing has increased somewhat from the last time I looked. Perhaps they have dualies on offer now?

Click the 'Hire' menu (stupid flash based site)
Bike Addiction had a sign out the other day - new model demos available .
Pretty sure KOM at Neutral Bay hire, couldn't tell you what their rates are, check out the website.

Ye olde bicycle shop at bundanoon hires out good demo bikes as well. Plenty of riding options around there - esp wingello

Yeah... That's the place.
Plus, if you hire from there, as someone already said, there are plenty of great trails in Wingello to try it on. The shop has maps of them too.
