  Buying a bike Cuba
SarahC1 21st May 2011
I'm trying to find information about buying a bike in Cuba but not having much luck in getting a definite answer. I have been to Cuba a couple of times before, and am planning a third visit this July / August. I will fly into Havana and plan to take either the train or viazul over to Santiago de Cuba and spend a few weeks slowly cycling back to Havana. After much deliberating back and forth about whether to bring a bike or not I've been given advice that it's not necessary as it's now possible to buy a decentish bike from a shop in Havana or alternatively I could rent a hybrid from a Canadian company who have an office in el centro. I'm just wondering if anyone on here has had any experience of buying a bike in Havana and could give me some information in terms of costs, whether they already have a rack, quality etc. Thanks so much for your help.
