Very good walk!! - Good address to rent bikes on Pisa!! They are very friendly and professional people, we took electric bikes to make the ride to the sea on a safe bike path and absolutely do not regret!! It was a first time for my wife and daughter on electric bikes and they were super happy!!We were able to make ourselves a small terrace restaurant by the sea, it was nice.
Thanks to Elena and Mario.

Best place for bike rental in Pisa area - Very convenient, close to the train station. Service was very professional from the beginning. From the moment i contacted Elena for the booking, she made recommendatiins on what to visit. You will find different types of bikes. Highly recommended.

Great service, Neat route - Quick and fantastic service, even when many customers were there! We had only 20 minutes to catch our train (which was only a few blocks away) so they sped us through the return process and we got to the train with 5 to spare.
This route was flat and easy, but a bit longer than we expected. We stopped and swam in the sea halfway through, which was a nice reward.

Best Bit of the holiday - This was by far my favourite afternoon of the whole holiday. Fantastic cycle path, beautiful countryside and a brilliant bike. Will be back as soon as I can!

Fun bike ride, would recommend - Friendly and helpful staff. We cycled to the coast/port. Easy ride almost entirely on cycle path.
Found the app hard to read whilst cycling - didn’t really use it in the end.

Ride&Smile are great! - Great service by Ride&smile.
Easy to book, did the day before.
Easy to get started, the girls in the the bike shop were super helpful.
Easy to ride, we followed the app which had lots of interesting stories to tell about where you were.
Easy to extend, we booked the ride to the sea but when we returned to pisa a bot early decided to do the city tour as well, all downloaded on the app.
Ride&Smile just about covers it!
Thanks for a great day out.

Finally cycle paths in Italy! - It is wonderful to cycle to Marina di Pisa via the Trammino cycle path. About 10 km, flat, once out of the city. Friendly welcome with explanation, very good e-bike with accessories, power bank for a small additional charge. For the route I used Google maps instead of Izi. A nice end to three days in Pisa!

Perfectly wonderful cycling - Perfect, we went to the sea with the tandem. The path was nice for cycling, but don't expect super nice views along the way. The people in the shop are very friendly and helped us a lot. Highly recommended!!

Great fun but not as easy as it looks - I definitely recommend this bike rental and tour even though I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars! The experience is really fun, the bikes are in great shape, and the people at Smile and Ride are really nice. We were going to be late due to a train strike that delayed our arrival and they were flexible with our time slot. There are probably less expensive places to rent bikes, but with this organization you know you will get good quality e-bikes and reliable support. They are very conveniently located by the train station. The reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars is more to advise others to be aware of a few things: 1. the app is not very good. It will drain your phone battery, is hard to see, and not user friendly. If you use Google Maps and set it to bike travel you'll get EXACTLY the same route, much easier to use, and easier on your battery life. 2. Parts of the route are not as easy as you might think. There are a few places at the beginning where you are riding on city streets and through non-scenic areas, which is fine, but the scenic, safe parts are more the last 3/4 of the trip. 3. I don't recommend the side quest to the medieval chuch unless medieval churches are your thing. The route for that part is on a busy two-lane road without a bike path. Just stick to the main tour. 4. You don't have a whole lot of beach time. We had time to eat lunch and briefly go to the beach. But that's OK--it's a rocky beach not great for swimming anyway. We did ride over to see the leaning tower and the Keith Haring mural too, but were a little pressed for time. Overall, I recommend this tour but only for people who are already pretty experienced on bikes. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 12 or who isn't already pretty fit and capable on a bike. I commute to work by bike every day and this tour was surprisingly challenging in a few spots, just in terms of road safety. But the fields of wildflowers and sunflowers really are pretty! Thanks for a great tour!
