REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS

"We visited just before Christmas on the 13th and had an incredible experience! Our first adventure in the area (visiting from Queensland) was a scenic 20km ride from Timboon to Port Campbell, and it exceeded all our expectations. We met Lindon at the bike shed in Timboon—what a genuine, down-to-earth guy! He was super helpful and set the tone for a fantastic day. The ride itself was amazing, even with a few light showers along the way. Port Campbell, a charming little beachside town, was the perfect destination to cap off the journey. Lindon went above and beyond by picking us up in Port Campbell, driving us back to our car in Timboon, and sharing some fascinating local history along the way. His service and hospitality truly stood out. This was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had—not just for the ride but for the outstanding service. We highly recommend Ride with Us to anyone visiting the area. You won’t be disappointed!"

"Absolute 10/10!!! I can’t recommend Lindon enough, incredible service and the e-bikes we hired were awesome!!! So perfect for adventuring around the local trails, they go fast up the hills and have great suspension for going down. If you are looking for a great way to explore the area give Lindon a call and hire some e-bikes!"

"4 friends hired e-bikes to ride from Port Campbell to Timboon. These people were lovely, so helpful & easy to deal with. They even dropped the bikes off to the place we were staying at Port Campbell. It’s a beautiful ride (20kms) & lots of fun on e-bikes."
