From vintage bike collection to rentals and touring support
Transphere (Bikerentals.cz) is a bike rental and tour service operated by Czech Ltd Transphere, s.r.o., registered and based in Prague. George Pacurar, the founder and owner, is a bike lover and collector of steel frame road bikes from the 70s and 80s and started renting out second hand bicycles to support his growing collection of vintage vehicles. Besides, he occasionally works in his original profession, journalism, e.g. covering cycling and mobility topics for Welovecycling.com.
At the present time (April 2023), we have some 40 bikes of all types, mostly trekking bikes (all terrain) for multiple day tours (“bike-packing”). Whatever your cycling preferences are, you can probably find a comfortable solution. If not, we are happy to recommend other services nearby.
