Bike shops and services

Two of the most frequently asked questions are : "Where do I buy a decent bike in Doha?" and "Where can I rent a bike". Here's the answers. This page doesn't pretend to be comprehensive, although if something is wrong or missing, do let us know. Each of the shops that we have listed here sell quality cycling equipment but each has its own USPs and brands so rather than reviewing each of them in detail, we'll leave it to you to decide who has what you need.
Rasen Adventure Shop are the only place to rent a bike in Qatar if you exclude Saikel who provide leisure bikes in Al Bidda Park and at track nights at Losail international Circuit. Rasen's rentals include both road and MTB options from Cannondale. These are not top end performers but perfectly suitable for a Friday Ride or even a race. Bring your own pedals if you prefer clipless.
When looking for something specific, it is worth phoning ahead to find out whether the item is in stock.
