Limitations in transporting your bike may exist if any of the above boxes are ticked. We may contact you if we foresee any issues.

If you are planning on bringing your own bike on a PureTrails tour, please take the following into consideration:

Your bicycle does not weigh more than 20kg – including e-bikes (with the battery off). Bikes heavier than this are too heavy for our guides to be able to lift on and off the cycle trailer safely.
The bike is well maintained, recently serviced, and in a good safe condition.
Your helmet is in a good safe condition with no cracks, and can be fastened properly.
The tyres (either mountain bike or hybrid tyres) have a good level of tread on them, suitable for trails/gravel.
A basic bike repair kit must be carried including 2 x spare inner tubes (our bike kit may not be compatible with your bike)
Any major mechanical breakdown is your own responsibility.
PureTrails staff will secure your bike on our cycle trailer when in transit during the tour, but the company is not held responsible for any damages that occur during transportation.

Please note that our bike trailers cannot cope with mudguards fitted to front tyres, so if your bike has these please remove them before you join your tour (rear guards are fine).
