Bike Bus is a mobile unit delivering bikes and bike services to an area spanning the whole of the Périgord Noir and sometimes beyond. We have no specific base as such, but we do have our favourite customer meeting points and one of which is at Camping Maisonneuve.
This is a conveniently situated 'Hub' at the head of the lovely Valley du Céou, just outside Castelnaud La Chapelle. It is the perfect departure point for famillies cycling with young children and for novice and accomplished mountain bikers too. For mountain biking routes, you can now download GPS files from this site .. click here
The quiet valley road starts here and has little or no traffic on it. The 11km to Daglan can thus be done far away from moving cars (except for a 100m stretch of D-road) and back again within 4 hours (half-day hire)
Around the valley, there are 350km of fantastic off-road trails over a pleasant mixture of forest track, limestone rubble, and sandy rutted single track and each circuit is way marked and mapped.
We deliver the bikes for free to the destinations indicated in green on the map. Otherwise, the delivery fee depends on the distance from Hub #1.

"I can confidently say that my time spent with you and swimming in the river and having that wonderful dinner is truly one of my best memories of France. I was feeling pretty intimidated knowing that I was just starting eight weeks alone in France, and being able to spend two wonderful days with you made me feel like I could, in fact, get through the rest of the trip."
