About Lake District Bikes
Lake District Bikes is a dedicated cycle hire and guided tour operator based in Lowick Green, just four miles south of Grizedale Forest and two miles from the shores of Coniston Water. With a fleet of over 100 bikes covering every type and size, they are one of the largest independent bike hire operations in the southern Lake District, and they specialise particularly in e-bikes for the region's challenging terrain.
Their rental fleet includes road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, children's bikes, road e-bikes, and mountain e-bikes. Guided bike tours are their standout offering — all tours are bespoke and led by local guides who tailor routes to clients' fitness and skill levels. Options range from gentle road rides through quiet Lakeland lanes to full-day off-road adventures through Grizedale Forest and beyond. Half-day and full-day tours are available, with lunch included on full-day outings.
The Lowick Green base offers free parking for all hire customers and sits at the gateway to a network of quiet off-road tracks, trails, and country lanes ideal for cycling. Lake District Bikes has built a strong reputation for their knowledgeable guides, well-maintained fleet, and ability to show visitors parts of the Lake District that most tourists never see. Group adventure tours on electric mountain bikes are particularly popular for their combination of thrilling descents and powered climbs.
