Bike Info & Rentals

Our Bikes

For all our tours we use well-known makes of mountain, hybrid or road bikes (depending on the tour) with lightweight alloy frames, 24- to 27-speed gearing, v-brakes and Shimano components. Mountain bikes all have front suspension.

In Thailand we have a fleet of TREK 4300 mountain bikes. TREK 7200 hybrid bikes and Trek 2.1 C road bikes. Our bicycles are available in sizes ranging from 13 inches to 22 1/2 inches. Please note that a certain frame model is not guaranteed.

On short tours we include bike hire in the tour price, while on longer tours we offer bike hire as a supplement in case you prefer to bring your own bikes. Prices vary depending on the length of the tour and the country, please check the tour website or the Factsheet for the hire cost.

In Bangkok and Chiang Mai we offer babyseats, tag-alongs, and child bikes for children. In Bangkok the single-wheeled tag-along bike attaches to the seat-post of an adult bike and allows your child to ride with you. There's no age limit to the bike, but there is a weight limit, children need to be under 36 kg.

In Chiang Mai we have gators -- a pole attaches from a child's bike to the adult bike, making it easy to take on and off. Please let us know when booking if you would like a baby seat, child's bike or tag-along.

Bikes for General Rental

Bikes are also available for general rental from our operations office in Bangkok on an availability basis. There is a small chance that all our bikes are out on tour and we will then be happy to assist you with finding a bike elsewhere.

In case you want to go it alone or just need a bike for a day, the following are rental prices per day from Bangkok:

No. of Days Rental	Mountain and hybrid bike price per day in THB	Road bike price per day in THB
1-7	THB 400	THB 800

We require a cash or credit card deposit of THB 20,000 for each bike rented.

We rent helmets for THB 50 per day and require a THB 1,500 deposit.

A rear bike rack can be rented and fitted to any of our frames for an additional THB 50 per day.

Replacement tubes, pump, tools etc are not included with the rental. Please make sure that you have these necessities. Please note that if you are renting a bike for use on one of our tours, we take care of the replacement parts/maintenance of the bike.

Mechanical disclaimer: Generally, it is the responsibility of the renter to maintain the mechanical suitability of the bike after it leaves our shop. All bikes leave our shop adjusted, greased, lubed, and prepped. Mechanical failures caused by the user are not entitled to a refund (this includes chain, derailleur, shifters). Flat tires, broken spokes, etc are not entitled to a refund. If SpiceRoads determines that a mechanical failure was due to circumstances unrelated to the user, then we will determine an equitable refund solution. Any damage to a frame or its parts will be assessed a fee for replacement (ie. a broken chain). Please be a responsible rider.

Renting for our tours

Renting one of our bikes not only saves you hassle but means you have more luggage allowance available.

Our bikes are renewed every two seasons and are always fully serviced before a trip. We always carry spares for every emergency and plenty of extra tubes.

We supply helmets with all our rental bikes (except when just renting a bike) but you may want to consider bringing your own if you are taking a long tour as helmets are a personal item.

On all our tours we provide a SpiceRoads water bottle, which you are welcome to keep at the end of your tour. Each bike comes with a single water bottle cage, if you prefer more you are welcome to bring your own. If you have your own saddle that you are comfortable with you are welcome to bring it and we'll fit it. On long tours women specific seats are recommended.

We can provide strap-style toe cages if requested, but you might like to consider bringing SPD clip pedals if you use them. If you do bring your SPD pedals, please make sure to bring your shoes and cleats.
