I ride a lot and this guy knows his bikes. It’s essentially a high end bike store with some rentals. My partner and I rented an EBike and standard road bike and they both worked flawlessly. Helmet,wire lock and repair kits included with both bikes. It’s probably a tad more expensive than other rentals but you’re paying for well kept bikes that likely won’t fail on you. Would rent again. Plus the guy running the joint was super nice.

We booked our bicycles one month in advance online and had no problems securing a reservation (this was in late November). We got decent new cross city bikes. Please check your bikes as some of the bikes can have problems with gears, seat adjustment etc. The staff at the Onomichi bike rental shop was helpful but did not speak much english. We were given some instructions to read and filled up some forms before we were off with our bikes. The bikes come with bicycle locks. Helmet rental is at a separate charge and is optional. For hassle free cycling, we arranged for our hotel in Onomichi to forward our main luggage to our hotel in Matsuyama the next day using a 3rd party Takkyubin service provider. We carried a small day pack for our 1 overnight stay in Omishima. Please note that same day luggage delivery is possible only for selected accommodations within the cycling route. Our itinerary was as follows First day we visited Onomichi->Mukoujima->Innoshima->Ikuchijima (visit Kosanji temple museum)-> Omishima (overnight) On the second day Visit Oyamamizumi shrine,ryokan dropped us off at Sakari Port for ferry ride to bunny island with bikes-> return to Omishima-> Hakata -> Oshima-> Imabari. The route is easy to follow (just look for the blue lines) and the elevations are carefully managed. The ride is not technical at all but some physical conditioning is advised as the route is long (we clocked around 96km mileage with some other small detours or stops). For those who are not entirely comfortable cycling on the roads (especially when there is heavy traffic), there are additional paths parallel to the official cycling route in large stretches on which you can also cycle. In terms of scenery, there is a mix of coastal views, soft industry and citrus orchards. There are restrooms, convenience stores, cafes/restaurants and/or rest stops interspersed along the route. I felt that 2 days was just about right for the trip. Any less and you will probably not be able to do any meaningful sightseeing.
