About bicycle rental

Let's Go cycling with your family and friends by renting an e-bike, cross bike, road bike, or MTB in Wakayama. I would like to start a road bike or MTB, but I don't know if I got on it or it will last long, so I want to try it for the time being! If you want to go with your family and friends to go cycling, but don't have a sports bicycle, AVANT GARDE's rental cycle is recommended!
