"Great service! We hadn’t booked our bikes so knew there was a chance we’d not be able to ride but Explore By Bike managed to provide two bikes along with a lock and puncture repair kit. First we rode from Bodmin to Padstow with a stop off for lunch before cycling back. We also cycled the section to Wenford Bridge which is also part of the Camel Trail. End ride distance was 40 miles. By the time we reached Bodmin. A lovely route, it does get busy as you near Padstow with lots of families. Thank you Explore By Bike" - TripAdvisor
