点评:Cyprus is a great destination for cycling with clear roads and decent tarmac across the most of it, stunning scenery and really good climbs for those inclined. However that is if you hire a bike from a reputable bike hire shop that knows what maintenance is and how to treat clients when they report failures in the equipment. Extremely poorly maintained bike hired which only became apparent a few miles in to the ride when the rear tyre bead allowed the inner tube to pop through as the tyre basically had perished in that area. Return to shop for replacement - replacement done and on my way - further issues with gear selection, dry chain and brakes, all liveable with but not in any way pleasant given i was planning to ride some pretty long distances over the weeks hire. More issues with front tyre this time, again due to perished tread, so new (very used) tyres and inner tubes sent out as i was in Ayi Napa and shop in Larnaca and said i can change them over if sent out.
rest of holiday got by, with the other issues still there but bearable. Return bike with Colin not there to speak to. Come home and find a significant charge levied from Larnaca pro cycle to my card without my consent or knowledge, for replacement tyres and tubes, as well as a further charge for not returning to old perished tyre with the bike !!!! - Colin refused to discuss or refund any monies - got bank involved and they were not able to recover monies as Colin stated this is all in the Ts and Cs you sign up to.
Steer very clear of this guy and this shop - there are others and they will be counting on repeat business im sure and if you do get involved check meticulously the bike and maintenance before leaving the shop
翻译:塞浦路斯是骑自行车的好去处,这里大部分地方道路干净,柏油路面不错,风景迷人,对于那些喜欢骑自行车的人来说,爬坡非常好。但是,前提是你在一家信誉良好的自行车租赁店租一辆自行车,这家店知道什么是维护,也知道在客户报告设备故障时如何处理客户。租来的自行车保养得非常差,骑了几英里后才发现后轮胎的胎圈让内胎弹出,因为轮胎基本上在那个区域坏了。回到店里更换——更换完毕,我正要走——还有齿轮选择、干链和刹车的问题,这些都可以忍受,但一点也不愉快,因为我计划在租用的几周内骑相当长的距离。这次前轮胎出现了更多问题,同样是因为胎面磨损,所以我把新的(非常旧的)轮胎和内胎寄出去了,因为我在阿伊纳帕,在拉纳卡购物,我说如果寄出去我可以换。
剩下的假期就这样过去了,其他问题仍然存在,但可以忍受。归还自行车时 Colin 不在场,无法与我交谈。回家后发现 Larnaca pro cycle 在未经我同意或不知情的情况下向我的卡收取了一大笔费用,用于更换轮胎和内胎,还因为没有随自行车一起归还旧的损坏轮胎而收取了额外费用 !!!! - Colin 拒绝讨论或退还任何款项 - 银行介入,他们无法收回款项,因为 Colin 表示这都是您签署的条款和条件中的内容。
远离这个人和这家商店 - 还有其他人,我相信他们会指望回头客,如果您确实参与其中,请在离开商店前仔细检查自行车和维护
