Bike shops in Biarritz?

DeadMan1

Hi there,
I'm flying into Biarritz with a few mates soon, with our bikes and renting a car ... but I'm having trouble renting a bike rack with the car ... so I was thinking it'd be just as easy to buy one. Does anyone know what Biarritz, or surrounding area, is like for bike shops?

thanks
DM

Hi, there is a Decathalon shop in Biarritz (dunno where exactly) but I had an emergency there 5 years ago and picked up a skewer in a hurry late one Saturday.;)
In case you've never been, they are ok on some bike stuff and as it sounds like a budget bike you're after, they could be bang on.

They have a website, google it for the addr/location and you might see sumthin online (there French site is quite decent, not sure if UK one is as good)

Directions from Biarritz airport to the Decathlon store

I stayed in a campsite called Le Reuisseau near Biarritz a few years ago. There was a bike shop around 2kms south from Biarritz airport heading on the old road to a place called St Jean De Luz. I think the townsland where the shop is called Cheya. It's on your right as you head south. There might be a shop selling surf boards and the likes next door. Sorry I can't be more specific than this.

Velo New's 64.

This is the best bike shop in Biarritz and is easy to get to from the airport.

Avenue de Bayonne, 64210 Bidart, France‎ - 05 59 41 06 33‎

Decathlon as above may be a cheaper option.

Velo 64 is great - I was there a few time. Mum lives there. You can't miss it there is a Giant Road bike on the roof.

Aw cycling around Biarritz is great! I cycled from Biarritz to the Spanish border last summer using the coast, it was so scenic and beautiful! Definitely spend some time in St Jean de Luz, lovely town and great food

Also forgot to mention Culture Velo in Anglet it's smaller than than VeloNews64 . It;s located on the BAB' road on the way to Decathlon from Biarritz shop.
Also, Just thought I'd mention, the Decathlon in Anglet referred to above isn't the best for cycling stuff, it has a lot of good stuff but it doesn't have everything like the Decathlon in Bordeaux Merignac for example. The one in Spain across from the Carrefour ( across the border ) is better and a bit cheaper too.
