Drover Cycles – Hay On Wye
Welcome to Drover Cycles, your friendly bike shop, hire centre, workshop and café at the gateway to the Brecon Beacons. Based in the heart of Hay on Wye, we’ve been helping locals and visitors explore the surrounding hills, trails and quiet border-country roads since 2007.
Whether you’re planning a big day out, a gentle family ride or your first taste of e-biking, our hire fleet has something for everyone, from mountain bikes and gravel bikes to road bikes, e-bikes and kids’ options. Every bike is carefully maintained and ready to roll.
Our fully equipped workshop offers servicing, repairs and custom builds, while the shop is stocked with quality kit, accessories and clothing chosen for performance and reliability.
And if you’re just stopping by, our on-site café is the perfect place for good coffee, homemade treats and post-ride chat.

Highly Recommend Drover Cycles - looking for things to do while away for a week with the family we rang up on the chance we could hire bikes on the same day. Jon couldn't have been more helpful, taking it all through, getting the bikes ready, advising us where to go and arranging drop off / pick up of bikes up at the Bedwyns nearby. Our boys loved burning some energy on the grassy tracks on mountain bikes - including a climb up the circle. If you like outdoorsy things with the family - give Drover Cycles a call!

I rented mountain bikes from Talybont-on-Usk and was always very pleased with the kind service and willingness to be helpful on itineraries, etc. The bikes were all in good shape and well maintained and it was easy to get the bike and return it. Very pleasant experience in a magnificent part of the country, the Brecon Beacons.

We had a fab experience with the team from Drover Cycles. We hired four bikes (3 MTBs and 1 eMTB) for a pick up from the shop in Talybont - very convenient for us as we were in a B+B 100m away.
Luke dropped the bikes off for us, talked us through their use (particularly the eMTB) and provided us with spare part bags. He also advised us on the route we were proposing to take - the Gap ride - which was a super 40kms circular route up to the "gap" between Pen y Big and Cribyn.
The bikes were like new, in great condition and were also great value. At the end of the ride we left the bikes for the DC team and went next door to the cafe for well-deserved sustenance!
We have hired from Drover Cycles before and will continue to do so when we're in Talybont.
Highly recommended.

We hired touring bikes for a four day trip. The bikes were excellent and very comfortable. We based our route on the Welsh Marches one on Drover Cycles' website and it was very good with a lot of variety of scenery and terrain. The staff were friendly and helpful both before and after the trip.

It is the 2nd year in a row we have hired electric mountain bikes for the day. The bikes were in pristine condition. We had great fun & can highly recommend it! Great service & lots of tips on where to go with a free map. Back again next year!

Couldn't be more impressed with Drover Cycles. They give you detailed and personal care for your cycling plans, assisting with everything you need, including gear such as waterproof panniers, helmets, locks etc. Also they are flexible around arrangements for pickup and collection of the bikes, and this factor alone made our entire trip possible, so we were really grateful for it. Troubleshooting was not a bother to them at all, and the staff were friendly, capable and helpful.

Rented gravel and ebike for several days with personalised bike pick up and drop off by Anna. The bikes were awesome, the gravel Kinesis was responsive and fun to ride with tubeless rubber and performed flawlessly. The Cube ebike was powerful with more capacity that my wife could possibly need despite some long days and big climbs. Communication great, coffee great, advice great. Bag transfer great! All really great! Vote Drover!

Great e-bikes for a great ride and John was so helpful at the Talybont branch.
