Ibaraki and nine towns along the Ring-Ring Road run this shared rental, with twelve sites from Iwase at the top of the old Tsukuba Railway path to Kamisu by the coast. A cross bike costs ¥2,500 a day, a road bike ¥3,000 and an e-bike ¥3,500, and helmets come free. Return the bike to any other site for ¥500 a bike a day.

Book online three days ahead and carry ID. The fleet tops out at medium frames sized for riders up to 175 cm, so taller riders should email the support desk about a longer seat post before booking.

Worth knowing

Plan a one-way day from Tsuchiura to Iwase on the railway path and take the JR Mito Line home.
Check each site's payment rules; Ring-Ring Square and some lakeside sites take cash only.
