The rental menu lists city-mountain bikes (26"), trekking-touring and gravel-touring bikes (28"), classic e-bikes, strong e-bikes with or without fat tires, tandems and kids' bikes from 17" to 26". The about page says renters and tour riders get a helmet, lock, lights, a repair kit and storage options, plus pre-planned routes sent as QR maps to your phone.

Guided tours start from the shop at Dlouhá 24 in Prague 1, which is open daily, 9:00 to 18:00 from March 15 to October 15 and 10:00 to 16:00 in winter. The tour pages say tours run "Daily in English or by reservation in Dutch, German and other languages," and cap groups at "Max 12 per tour for a top-quality ride. Less people, more fun!" The All-in-One tour needs a minimum of 4 but is "available for solo travellers and couples."

The practical rules are spelled out on the tour pages. Riders "must be able to ride a bike, no training is provided except how to control e-bike." The weight limit is under 125Kg on a standard bike, and the e-bike rule is over 45kg and under 120Kg. The minimum age is 1, with a rear child seat for kids up to 22kg, and a tag-along or child seat on request; the site says "E-bikes not recommended for children under 14 y.o."

Tours operate "rain or shine," every day except Dec 24, 25, 26, 31 and Jan 1 and 2. The booking form adds that the pace is easy and "using an e-bike will not make you go faster, but makes the trip easier."

Booking, guides and extra services

Tours are booked with the "Book Now" button or through a request form ("Not sure? Ask! Send request"), and private tours can change the start time, place and length. The shop also offers luggage and bike storage, delivery of bikes and luggage, bike repairs and sales, a merchandise shop and equipment for children. Contact is by email at info@prahabike.cz or phone on +420 732 388 880. The site runs in English, Czech, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish and German. On sustainability, the about page says the team repairs and reuses bike parts and maintains every bike daily.

What the site does not settle

The menu links to a "CANCELATIONS & REFUNDS" page and a "Safety, Cancelation, Insurance" page, but the tour pages themselves do not state the cancellation window or refund terms themselves. Prices also differ slightly between pages (the about page shows the Prague Highlights at 32 € while the tour list shows 33 €), so check the price at checkout.

Praha Bike suits visitors who want a relaxed, small-group guided ride through Prague or out to Karlštejn and Průhonice, families who need child seats or kids' bikes, and independent riders who want a good rental with a pre-loaded route for a day or a multi-day ride to Dresden, Vienna or Cesky Krumlov.
