Where to buy/rent bicycles​ in Phitsanulok?

[Elkski]

I am wanting to buy 5 pedal bikes in Phitsanulok.  2 adults and 10,12&14 yr old.   These would be for riding along the Nan river.   

Where is a good place to buy or rent?  

What expense am I looking at?

these bikes are  just to make some great family memories.

The only bike shop I know of in PHS.  I don't know if they rent either, though probably not.

 

I hope this helps.

Lotus or BigC.

 

BigC is marked on this image and Lotus is on Highway 12 far right of screen.

About how much would you guess these department store bikes cost?

I bought a couple of bikes from Lotus this week, 1 for gf cost 2,590 baht (24” wheel with the basket and rack on the back ) and 1 for me at 3,690 baht (24” wheels with 6 speed Shimano gears and rear suspension )
The ladies bikes probably range from 2,000 to 3,000 baht and for the guys up to 6,900 baht for 26” and more ( and better) gears.

Kids ?, can’t help you there.

Obviously for the price you’re not gonna enter the Tour de France but we bought them to have a gentle pedal around the locality and I’ve been out twice a day so far on mine and the gf joins me for the longer ride out around 5.00 pm .

Thanks.   A good full suspension mountain bike in USA is 55,000 baht and up.    I talked to some road bikes who were at the River Kwai in some sort of organises road ride.  They said typical road bikes are 70,000-100,000 baht.    I have some fond memories of biking along the Nan River.   I just needed a bike that fits my 183 cm.   And want the kid's to join.

The shop that I referred to in post #2 is where you'll find your top-of-the-range super-expensive road bikes and Lotus and Big C your runabout bikes I would imagine.

Obviously I’ve given you the “cheapest of the cheap “ option !
As I don’t plan to do much mileage, a thirty minute ride at best, they suit me fine.
If you’re looking for something to last then a dedicated bike shop will have more options some better quality and buying 5 at a time should surely give you some bargaining power.

Googled “ bicycle shop phitsanulok “ and got 6 or 7 options .
