I rented a roadbike for a day from Florence by Bike, and it was a great experience. Lia at the front is fluent in English and helped me select the right bike and clear all the paperwork. I am staying in Florence long-term, and she was able to set me up with a multi-day discount even though I am not renting on consecutive days. Only possible in (s)low season. I got a carbon Cannondale Evo, and the bike was in perfect condition.
I like to support the local bike store wherever I go, and this store deserves your attention. Full rental service for all kind of bikes, but also top brands for sale from a full selection of Bromptons to all top brands in MTB, road, gravel and E-bike.
And important: they are just outside the ZTL zone so you can get there by car (but good luck finding a parking spot)

Great service and advice from Florence by Bike !
I rented an e-bike for 14 days in May and I was able to do an amazing journey :
- we biked from Florence to Arezzo, going through the "Strade dei Sette Ponti". Great scenery !
- we spent some time at lake Trasimeno, very convenient for cycling
- we then went to Perugia and enjoyed the beautiful hilly forest and ruins, we also visited Assisi
- We then did a part of Via Fiaminia and slept close to the city of Massa Martana in the mountains. Great scenery and food
- We then biked to Terni and Narni, and spent the evening in beautiful hilltop city of Magliano Sabina
- then we went to lake Braciano, I really recommend to stay at one of the lake's camping and enjoyed the beaches
- We then went to Rome, where we visited and traveled via the Via Appia Antica, a roman road you can bike until Castel Gondolfo, a beautiful lake where the pope has his summer palace
- we biked to Tivoli, south east of Rome, and enjoyed the beautiful antic Villas there
- We then finished the loop taking the train to Montefiascone and the Bolsena lake, and biked to the beautiful city of Orvieto. The lake is absolutely stunning and nature is preserved.
We did between 40 and 90 kilometers a day. Even though it was an e-bike it was quite sportive because we turned the battery off when it was flat or when the hills were not too steep. The battery was more than enough that way.
I personaly also did this trip to avoid carbon emissions on visit places not crowded with tourists. I was able to take the train from where I live (Paris) to Firenze, and even enjoyed a stop on the coast of Genova.
Thank you Florence by Bike to have made this trip possible !
