OK, opposite the port near where the big wheel was. 2 rental shops there. If you stand with your back to the bus station where the wheel was you will be facing the bike shops.

Download wallapop, buy one for 20 euro a few streets away.

Abandon it with a sign "llevarme, soy gratis!" When you are done with it, or sell it on wallapop again.

I was thinking if its 15 euros a day you may be better going to decathlon and buying a brand new cheap bike. I think they start at 69 euros. Surely someone would give you 25 euros a week later for the bike.

Ive seen companies advertising bike rentals in grapevine and the like. How on earth can cost more to rent a bike than a car?????????

We hired electric mountain bikes in Lanzarote, 2 days cost 80€ .... more than a week's car hire! Ordinary ones were less of course, but not by a huge amount.

Crazy old world we live in. I bet someone will pop up and blame it on Brexit...

Juat as a small finnicky aside, I would suggest that you will need to travel a fair way out of Malaga before you would actually need a mountain bike, just a thought !

Actually you only need to go along the sea front to the south and there is some great rough ground next to the Gauadolhorce for mountain biking but even going into the Montes most cyclists are on road bikes.
