If you're looking for bike shops in Gipuzkoa, you'll have a workshop nearby almost wherever you go. The bicis.net directory lists 54 businesses for cyclists in the province: 48 bike shops, 50 workshops, 9 that rent bikes, 3 offering guided rides and 1 for bike fitting and coaching (data as of 4 November 2026). Many do several things at once, so the figures overlap: your local shop is usually your workshop too.
Here's how they're spread out, what to check before you go and how to make the most of your visit to ride a territory that never lets up: coast, valleys and short, tough climbs.
How many bike shops and workshops are there in Gipuzkoa
Gipuzkoa is the Basque province with the most businesses for cyclists in the directory, ahead of Bizkaia and Álava. Workshops make the difference: in Gipuzkoa almost every shop does repairs, and there are quite a few rental businesses aimed at people coming to the coast for a few days.
| Province | Businesses | Bike shops | Workshops | Bike rental |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gipuzkoa | 54 | 48 | 50 | 9 |
| Bizkaia | 49 | 44 | 44 | 4 |
| Álava | 18 | 18 | 18 | 1 |
bicis.net directory data as of 4 November 2026. The same business can count in several columns if it sells, repairs and rents.
Where they are: from the coast to the interior
Most businesses are concentrated in Donostia / San Sebastián and the surrounding area, with shops in its neighbourhoods and in nearby towns such as Rentería. Towards the border, Irún has its own cluster of shops and workshops, handy if you ride along the Bidasoa or into France.
On the coast, Zarautz has shops for those riding the coast road towards Getaria and Zumaia. Inland, the valleys have their long-standing workshops: Azpeitia in the Urola valley, Éibar and Elgoibar in the Deba valley, and the Goierri, home to Lazkao. The directory includes, for example, Amara Bike, Beni Ziklos, Arsuaga, Ziklos Lazkao, Ciclos Eizagirre and Kili, among others.
The full list, with address, phone number and what each one offers, is at bike shops in Gipuzkoa. If you only need a repair, filter by bike workshops in Gipuzkoa.
What to check before you go
Call ahead, especially in season
In spring and summer the workshops in Gipuzkoa are busy: between people who ride all year and visitors, a service can take days. Call to book a slot and ask whether they have the part before you take the bike in.
Rain and salt: check the drivetrain
It rains a lot here and on the coast the air carries salt. Chain, cassette, cables and pads wear faster than inland. If you often ride in the wet, ask the workshop to check the drivetrain and brakes every few months, not just once a year.
Coming from elsewhere? Rent
With 9 businesses renting bikes in the province, you can come without yours. Ask what type of bike they have (road, e-bike, mountain or leisure) and whether helmet and lights are included. Some guided-ride businesses will also show you the area if you don't know it.
New or second-hand?
Before buying in a shop, compare with what people ask for a used bike of your type. On bicis.net you can browse second-hand listings and find out what yours is worth if you want to sell it and upgrade. A shop you trust can also check a used bike for you before you buy it.
Where to try out your bike in Gipuzkoa
Gipuzkoa has 29 routes on bicis.net, with 557.1 km in total, 16 climbs and an average elevation gain of 641 m per route (data as of 4 November 2026). Across the Basque Country there are 68 routes. This is short, steep climb country: there's hardly any flat, so check the elevation before you set off.
If you want a climb to test yourself, the Azurki from Zestoa rises between farmhouses towards the interior. To see every route in the area, with its profile and surface, go to bike routes in the Basque Country.
If you come by train, the Cercanías and Euskotren networks link Donostia with much of the coast and the valleys, so you can leave the car and start riding from the station. Check the rules for taking your bike on each service first.
