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!

That is actually a brilliant idea, you would need good security for your garage too though, they are quite fly there. Good bikes and the safety gear compared to what they have there would be really good. Go for it and I wish you the best of luck. Xx

I went on Mike's Bike Tours in Barcelona and Munich and LOVED it. I actually pondered the same question for awhile. I know that they hire Americans. So, I would say send an application to a place like that and try to work for a year of so learning the "in and out' of the buisness. Then, you can figure out how to make it work. Also, any kind of historical or cultural "tour" you could put together should attract tourists (who have $ to spend).
