Situated in the centre of Brønnøysund, the Tourist Information office offers bicycle rental, as well as all the equipment you need for short bike rides or long cycling adventures.

The equipment available includes well-maintained bicycles for men, women and children. Included in your rental are panniers, a tire pump, patch kit, bike lock – and of course a helmet.

Electric bikes and hybrid bikes

In addition to hybrid bikes that are ideal for cycling in town or along the country roads, the Tourist Information Office also offers electric bikes. These make it extra convenient and faster to explore the Helgeland coast on two wheels. The el-bikes are very easy to operate. At day’s end you can remove the battery, bring it inside and plug into any ordinary outlet, recharging it as you rest and “recharge” your own batteries.

When renting or booking a bike, please tell the staff your height, so that they can reserve the bike most suitable for you. The main difference between women’s and men’s bicycles is their size. See the picture below. Please note that the friendly staff at the Tourist Information Office We will be happy to help you plan your cycling voyage.
