Bikes & support for your cycling trip

The Czech capital lies in the heart of Central Europe. This makes it an ideal starting point to explore the region by bike. At Transphere, we specialise in multiple day tours, both in the Czech Republic and its  neighbouring countries. Prague-Dresden along the Elbe bike trail has been the most popular choice for our clients since 2015. Others go as far as Budapest, often making it a combined bike-and-rail trip. We provide the bikes, planning support, local expertise and transfer services.

Karlštejn Castle Day Tour
#relaxed cycling #scenic rides #foodie proof
#good for families

Karlštejn is a gothic castle about 30km Southwest of Prague and one of the most visited sites in the Czech Republic. Apart from its architecture and collection of medieval art, this is a beautifully located place in the wooded hills of the Berounka river valley.

Cycling from Prague to Karlštejn is a rewarding experience and easy to do even for less seasoned cyclists: no climbs, mostly bike paths (no cars), and a train back to Prague every half hour. On top, there are some great eateries,  breweries, and an internationally awarded cider maker to lift your spirits along the route.

Self guided tour for €29

Great location

Both our service points are located just off the popular A2 dedicated cycle path, ideal for trips South, e.g. to Karlštejn castle. You avoid the busy traffic of the Old Town and start cycling safely.

Easy booking

You can book your bike on-line (contact form. email), make an appointment and we'll prepare everything for pick-up. This makes for a swift check-out and gives us enough time for a chat.
If you forgot to reserve, you might still get lucky and find a suitable bike left, please call or text us.

Highly Personalised Service

Whether it's a day trip to Karlštejn castle, a tour to Dresden or a loop of the best breweries around Prague, we always try to give you good advice. The more you tell us about your cycling plans beforehand, the better we'll succeed,

Budget friendly

With fees of under €14 (for up to 24 hours), our rates are well below the city average. It's easy to check on the internet. If you see a lower price, it might well be a three-hour rental.

is a bike rental and touring service based in Prague. Originally founded as a niche business offering refurbished “vintage” bikes for rental and city tours, we soon refocused on bike-packing, as more people discovered the Czech Republic as a top destination for cycling holidays. Today, we offer standard city/trekking bikes for short-term rentals and more versatile models customised for multiple day tours.
