If you are looking for a green, healthy and fun way to explore the beautiful town of Stratford, look no further than Stratford Bike Hire. The cycle rental company delivers bikes to your starting point, allowing you to pedal off around the streets and cycle paths of the town to explore its nooks and crannies and to enjoy some of the well-known sights in the area.

As well as helping you venture around the town made famous by British playwright William Shakespeare, you can also explore other routes around the Midlands, from Coventry and Leamington Spa to the Cotswolds and the wider Warwickshire area. Conveniently, the company can deliver the bicycles to your home, hotel or the train station and then collect them when you are all done. It is possible to make the most of the two wheels for either a half-day period (9.30am-1pm or 1.30pm-5pm) or for a whole day (9.30am-5pm).

Cyclists receive, along with the bike, everything you will need for your day of exploration, including a tyre pump, a lock, a helmet and a tool kit should you be called upon to make some running repairs. Maps, a first aid kit and drinks containers are also available should they be needed. A range of bicycle types are available; there are bikes for men and bikes for ladies, bikes for children and bikes with child seats or trailers. Hybrids and touring bikes are another possibility. This ensures people of all ages can get into the saddle and travel around the area to see what Stratford has to offer and to relax and have fun with the family.

As part of the Sustrans national cycle network there is a five mile track in Stratford known as the Stratford Greenway. The course, which makes the most of a disused railway line, is a safe and manageable route, and travels along past the River Avon, through nearby villages and next to the Racecourse. Another option is to join up with the local Shakespokes cycling group which starts at the Stratford Market on the first and third Sundays of the month and travels around the nearby area.
