Loved this place - we stopped by while waiting for our train. Really nice coffee and concept store along with bike rental. Such a unique place. We stayed for an hour playing uno :)

We rented two bikes here to travel along Via Rhôna in the first week of September. During the online booking our questions were prlmptly answered. As we collected the bikes, we discovered that the owner speaks German and we didn't have to struggle with our rusty French. Our bikes were robust and had everything necessary for a week's trip. We are greateful for the service and we recommend the Cycletic without reservations.

This is the best place to rent bikes if you are cycling the Rhone river. The bikes were great and Valery provided superb back up and advise. There were 6 of us in the group and the trip could not have happened without the input from Cycletic Velo. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I rented two bikes for a day and the bikes were amazing, the staff was very welcoming! I didn't get a chance to stick around for the food, but the ambiance felt great!

This is a cafe and a wonderful bike shop and repair center. I turned up in the middle of our 3 month tour at 3:00 pm and by 5 they had replaced my rear tire, put in new brakes and brake cables. The next day they did some work on my wife’s bike including a new chain and cassette. The staff are exceptionally friendly and do a complete check of the bike not just the part they are working on. Can’t say enough about them. Thank you guys!

I am super pleased with the work they did on my bike, it rides like new! Like others have said, the mechanics didn't only look at the problems I pointed out, but also did a general check-up of the bike and fixed a long list of issues that they discovered. The price was still in the range that I was given when I left the bike to be fixed. The repair was also very speedy and I got my bike back the same day. Although I didn't buy anything else, I was pleasantly surprised by their selection of bike equipment and bags/backpacks. I would definitely recommend this shop to a friend.
