im just wondering what peoples opinions are regarding my idea to start a bike rental business in spain(which has some stunning bike trails for all enthusiasts), renting decent quality mountain bikes, but also offering racing & kids bikes, plus safety gear & car racks for transportation.
also to keep my costs down i would store the bike in my garage & the rentals would take place by delivering the bikes to clients
any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

You probably want to consider the location. You do not want to rent good bikes to your common English holiday yob. This probably means setting up in a location desirable to bikers and families. You would need to set up a premisis at the area. I think that delivering bikes is going to increase your costs and have you running from pillar to post.
Look at locations that you would like to ride in (Mountains/ woodland). Also, see if you can make contact with some of the biking holiday firms. Get their input and perhaps look at a holiday package partnership.). You will probably also need to find out about the law, especially regarding liability.
Write to MBR and see what they say.
Good luck.

Whereabouts in Spain....you don't say. There are loads of cycle renting businesses out here.
Do you speak the language? Would you be near the coast (tourists) or inland?
What are you planning to use to transport the bikes. You would need to be registered as a business and pay taxes.
Believe me, it's not easy.
