About us: Background and media coverage

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 (March 2022), we have some 50 bikes of all types, mostly trekking (all terrain) bikes for longer trips or tours., some city bikes and steel frame road bikes. Whatever your cycling preferences are, you can probably find a comfortable solution. If not, we are happy to recommend other services in Prague and elsewhere.
