We are the original Galle bike company established in 2004.

The best routes, all natural quiet roads, pretty tracks and village paths. No main road!


Top quality bikes and equipment with helmets available for all. The bicycles are mostly imported lightweight aluminium hardtail mountain bikes with shimano parts but we also have a range of upright bikes, ladies step through bikes, kids bikes, some electric bikes and even baby seats available.

Whether one person, a couple of friends, a family or a large group all our tours are private tours –so you can go at your own pace and stop at your leisure.

Flexible start times, ready to ride anytime during daylight hours, whenever suits you. We provide everybody with cool water for the ride, our bottles are recyclable but if possible please bring your own refill bottle, and in addition to king coconuts en route we also provide a comfortable cool spot and cold towels on your return.

Our delightful guides have years of experience with cyclists of all levels and are local to the village. They are knowledgeable, english speaking, engaging and always ready with a smile.

At Idle bikes we have some parking, some secure storage, and toilet facilities.

We also have a backup tuk tuk that is on stand by if needed.

We would recommend trainers, shorts and a T-shirt to cycle in but if you’re comfortable cycling in flip flops as our guides are then they are fine. No shirtless cycling please.

Payment is by cash, we accept local or other major currencies accepted, or by bank transfer, please ask for details.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!
