Found Vern online and organised a bike hire from overseas. It was easily organised and once on holiday collected the bike with no issues. The bike was low spec but in good condition and well maintained. Vern was helpful and knowledgeable and I strongly recommend his services.
Perfect experience renting a road bike from Vern, I can give my best recommendations for him
Perfect experience renting road bike from Vern
We rented two e-bikes from Vern for a circular route of about 45 miles. It was a glorious ride! The bikes were perfect for the up and down of this countryside. Vern got us all geared up and was available by phone for when we returned. A perfect day on excellent bikes!!
Vern rented us 25 bikes and was unbelievable throughout! He sorted a route, adapted plans, found an electric bike for one person. He also coordinated to pick some people up early who found the cycle challenging. Thank you so much, Vern. You and Dave were amazing. We look forward to renting from you again!
My girlfriend and I hired two hardtail mountain bikes from Vern, to explore Nidderdale. Vern was fantastic - flexible with pick up and drop off, provided us with a map and was really friendly. We rode out from the pick up point and past Gouthwaite reservoir and Scar House Reservoir. The bikes dealt with terrain effortlessly and we had a lovely day out, despite rain and wind. I would recommend getting the bikes dropped at a starting point, so as to minimize the time spent on roads. Cheers, Dave
Vern was very helpful and did a wheel swap to enable me to complete my 96 mile cycle spotive for Prostate Cancer. Highly recommend this genuine guy.
Extremely friendly and helpful service, great assistance at short notice and excellent bike, can't go wrong! (Mountain bike hire)
Brilliant time renting 2 mountain bikes, great service and excellent hard tail mountain bikes, would highly recommend!

Such great service. We couldn't find a local hire shop with what we needed, but Vern delivered two perfect MTBs to us in Hellifield. He was very flexible and went out of his way to make sure we had what we needed. Very reasonable charge and we had a fantastic week, though my legs are properly tired now! Highly recommended.
We rented 4 bikes from Vern for a couple of days. The bikes and delivery/collection service were excellent. Vern was also really flexible with timings and was very willing to share his local knowledge to advise us of appropriate MTB routes. Highly recommended.
My Explorer Group hired 9 Mountain bikes to take out for the day, It was a really affordable hire. We were given brand new Mountain Bikes that the Explorers loved, Vern was very knowledgeable and suggested routes based on our riders experience. Great place of hire, would use again and recommend to anyone visiting harrogate and the local area.
Massive thanks to Vern for servicing my bike. Excellent customer service and the bike feels like new. Would highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vern has a great selection of bikes and was very helpful upon arrival. Easy access from Harrogate. Would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience. Rented a brand new trek for 3 days. Really great service and affordable.
A really great Bike Service done by Vern Overton this week, just been out on the bike, it is working like a dream and feels like new again. Great service, good value, Vern is a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend.
My bike needed a service as it'd been some time since it had one, and the gears had started to seize up somewhat. I took it to Vern after seeing his reviews on here. After he'd finished, I was delighted that the bike ran as good as new. Very flexible on drop off and pick up times. Superb service and result - would highly recommend.
We used Vern’s bike hire in October 2020 (sorry for such a belated review, Vern!) and the service was fantastic. Flexible pickup/drop-off times, great price and invaluable route advice. He even came into Harrogate to help us work the gears after we’d picked up the bikes and headed off!

Would highly recommend Vern's services. Really profeciinal and friendly. Did a great job.
Top quality bikes for hire and fantastic customer service from Vern. He not only delivered the bikes to us but also pointed us in the right direction for some spectacular cycling routes in the Dales. Thoroughly recommend.
Top quality bikes for hire and fantastic customer service.
This review is way overdue - but i want to say that Vern went out of his way (literally) to deliver the bike to me at Harogate Station and pick i up after my week of cycling. The bikes were in top condition, reasonably priced, and Vern helped us out with route planning too. Highly recommend.
Just completed the repair and servicing of 20 road-bikes and 6 mountain bikes. Staff and students at the Army Foundation College are now free to make the most of the better weather and get out on their bikes.
Our 2-day MTB Leader Course is being held in beautiful countryside close to Harrogate in North Yorkshire. We will provide you with the necessary knowledge,
You never know who might call next! Just hired-out 30 of our bike’s to Wolverhampton Wanderers FC who were carrying out Pre-Season Training at Aldwark

Great bike, great service. I will certainly use Vern’s services again in the future.
Perfect experience renting road bike from Vern
Rented a bike for the Etape du Dales sportive, and the service from Vern was excellent. Rode a great carbon Trek Emonda. Would definitely recommend cycling in the area, if you like steep climbs ;), and renting from Vern.

Excellent and timely servicing of my bike. Rebuilding of my wheel and fitted gear components. Great service, on time and on cost.
Two weeks of fantastic cycling with a great bike from Vern
We hired 2 Mountain Bikes and Vern himself for 2 hours. He took us & 2 boys on a fabulous 30km ride around the area including a mountain bike course! Great way to see the sites, fantastic knowledge & support! Definitely recommend Vern, his stock of bikes etc was amazing!!
Brilliant time renting 2 mountain bikes, great service and excellent hard tail mountain bikes, would highly recommend!

Back home after a fantastic weekend cycling in the Yorkshire Dales. 214km and 10 hours in the saddle. Beautiful scenery, top weather and some cheeky (hard) climbs. A big thank you to Vern Overton Cycling and the guys for the banter, and for waiting at the top!

Thanks to Vern, I had a fantastic cycling holiday exploring the beautiful Yorkshire countryside for over a week without the effort, stress and carbon emissions of bringing my own bike to the UK. He set me up with a lovely road bike and couldn't have been more helpful. Communications were always prompt and friendly. There is so much cycling to be enjoyed in this area whether you stay local or venture far out into the Dales. Thoroughly recommended.
Vern Overton Cycling is an amazing company with the best customer serice a person could ask for when planing a cycling advernture.
Big thanks to Vern for delivering a bike to allow me to explore the Harrogate hinterland for the past couple of days. Excellent customer care and a diamond geezer to boot. Can heartily recommend.
Incredible customer service, knowledgable, attentive and so helpful. Bike service handled professionally, diligently and speedily. Bike now runs super smooth and I'm super happy. Very highly recommended.
