Urban Fahrradverleih in Montevideo

The bike rack was quick & easy to find, but it was not at first clear who was responsible for it. Once we went into the shop near it, we found the man responsible and everything went smoothly. Back tire on one of our bikes was low and we had to add air at a gas station. Also, the seat kept falling down until we figured out how to tighten it better. Chain came off once as well. No major issues, just small annoyances. Enjoyed 3 1/2 hours of lovely biking along the ocean as well as through town. Good bike locks. Owner was very friendly.

Ship arrived late and guide waited but it cut the tour short. Bikes are in disrepair and no helmets provided. Seats were deteriorated, gears didn’t work, and no brakes, only manual brakes by using pedals, which is scary on hills. Guide rode extremely slow through crowded streets which made it difficult to steer and navigate. Unsure why they would take you through crowded pedestrian streets. Unfortunately, cannot recommend.

I'm so glad I did this! Rather than expensive cab rides across town to see everything I wanted to see, I took advantage of the nice weather and Orange Bike's very reasonable prices to rent a bike. The communication was great (WhatsApp messaging in English or Spanish), the bike was clearly used but indestructible on the sometimes-rough roads and sidewalks (and I'm confident that had I experienced an issue, I would have gotten an immediate response from the company). I had the freedom to explore any part of Montevideo that I wanted. A lock was supplied so I wasn't worried about theft. Plus, my hotel had clearly worked with them before and stored the bike in their garage overnight for me. Overall, the best way to get the most out of your time in Montevideo.
