Mountain bike hire now available from 2 sites, Belair National Park AND Fox Creek Bike Park.
We now offer bike hire, along with great coffees, snacks, and MTB Day Trips near Adelaide in our new base in Belair National Park, and on the weekends at the “Goat at Fox” kiosk at Fox Creek.
PREBOOKING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED- walk in pricing is more expensive, if available! Bike hire is per session/hire.
Adelaide trail bike hire from just $50. We know what it’s like to get somewhere and be keen to hit the trails, but then struggle to find a decent bike to rent, so we are happy to rent our bikes out too. We only provide bikes we would be happy to ride ourselves, so you can be sure they will be great bikes, in good condition.
See below for our list of adult bikes, we also have a fleet of 20″ and 24″ kids mountain bikes, baby seats, and a kids’ trailer to hire, so there is something for everyone!
Our Adelaide mountain bike hire service now operates from our Goat Shed in Belair, and Fox Creek bike park. All bikes need to be picked up during opening hours — unless pre-arranged. We strongly recommend that you pre-book your MTB hire so that you can avoid disappointment. Pick up MAY be available the evening before IF the bike is available.

Our main MTB Hire Service Is Located In Belair National Park
Our main Goat Shed hub is conveniently located in Belair National Park, a 20-mins drive or train ride from the city near some of the best trails around- Belair has a nice mix of easy fire tracks for families and more technical trails on ‘The Adventure Loop’, and it’s just a short spin to the MTB trails of Sturt Gorge, Craigburn Farm, Mitcham and Shepherds Hill, and we can even provide you with maps of where to go. Pick up and drop off may also be possible. See the below link for our ride recommendations.
Pick up a bike, and grab a coffee and cake to go!
For the best South Australia trail info, we recommend using the Trailforks app on android or iphone. This will give you a GPS map with most of the local trails on.

Testimonials
The scenery on the way down from Lofty is so beautiful. Both tours highly recommended!
We had a great time doing the Lofty Descents tour with Ian. A really interesting way to see parts of Adelaide you wouldn't normally get to see.
