If you didnât bring your bike with you on holiday you can just rent one here at Beics Brenin. You can rent specialist mountain bikes from just ÂŁ25 for the full day. Considering the fun you can have in this forest Iâd say that itâs well worth the money. Donât forget to book in advance though, because bikes cannot be guaranteed during busy periods of the year.
