Work carried out with care and attention to detail and sensible recommendations made when the bike was delivered back.
Thanks guys, really appreciate it and will be back to use your services again

I had the whole family over for our wedding and they all wanted to ride Al Qudra. The guys at Vélo Presto were awesome, they organised rental bikes and delivered them to the track. Top shelf service.

Top quality service, friendly, helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Turned up on time, left us with bikes that looked brand new, and at very competitive prices. Can't rate them highly enough.
