Brighton to Dover / where to rent a bike?

[Giorgio_92]

Hello,
I'm from Italy and I'm planning to cycling with some friends from Brighton to Dover.
My idea is to rent the bikes near the airport (Gatwick) so our start and end point will be the airport and not one of the cities (Brighton / Dover).

Do you know if there is a bike rent near Gatwick airport?
If not, do you know a way to hire a bike in Brighton and leave it in Dover (or vice versa)?

Thank you!
Giorgio

Hi Giorgio,
I live in Crawley which is the nearest main town to Gatwick Airport, there are few places near to Gatwick that rent out bikes, however this guy may be able to help you. http://www.leelicycles.co.uk/ he is located inn the Crawley area. In Brighton there are a few shops that hire out cycles if you do a websearch, I think this one might be able to offer what you want: https://www.cyclebrighton.com/
I hope that helps
Cheers
Robert.

Giorgio, since you posted this, things have got worse in Italy. All best wishes to our Italian friends.

Just to add, those two suggestions do not seem to offer one way rental, so do ask, but it may be hard to find. Are you fixed on Dover? Could you do a circular tour instead?
