Ironman Thun Switzerland - Bike rental

Triathlon Forum
1

I am registered for Ironman Switzerland to be held in Thun on July 9, 2023.

Anyone have any idea where I can rent a Tri bike for the race?

I don’t really want to bring my bike and schlepp it all around Europe for two weeks when I tour with the family.

Any leads would be appreciated.

so you want to sit on TT bike which is not fit on you for 6+ hours on a tough course and then run a marathon…
what else?

@ Plissken - why so angry? let him/her do whatever they want.

Check out FBR, which is France Bike Rentals. They were on-site in Thun at the race. They may have rentals and did a great job transporting my bike from Thun to Cervia a few years ago.

I contacted them as they were the official bike rental in 2020, which was cancelled.
However, they said that IM Thun was not in their event list this year.

YES I DO!
And yes I can.
And yes I have done it before, long before you were born son.
Can you?

Anyone happen to know a bike shop in Thun that would rent a tri bike for IM Switzerland this year? France Bik Rentals doesn’t have it on their schedule this year. There’s no way I can bring my bike with me, but I finish a work trip the Friday before in Paris which is so perfectly timed I’d like to not pass up the opportunity.

Might be tricky in Thun. Maybe Bern is a better option to look at, although Triathlon bikes hm - a simple road race velo for sure tho. Mietvelos und Velokoffer – SCHALLER Radrennsport
