Once we arrived on the train, we made our way through the subway beneath the railway tracks and found a tourism noticeboard. One advert that stuck out was for a cycle hire place located at the station. The Lundahoj bike garage has an impressive large capacity for indoor secure bike storage for commuters. I had a quick chat with one of the staff to see how easy it was to hire and pocketed some brochures to take away and mull over.
Once we'd had a bit of a walk around, we grabbed a bite to eat and read through the info and maps before deciding to go for it. They required some photo ID and we'd to fill out a contract before we got a quick brief on the bikes and paid the 20SEK 24 hour hire fee. So having picked a route out of town towards Lomma on the coast we set off at 1400 hoping to make it to Malmö before it got dark.
After a few checks to see where we were using the excellent Cycla I Lund map we'd been given, we got onto a deserted cycle path that ran alongside Väg 103 towards the coast made good time to Lomma despite a bit of drizzle. The route from there ran down into Malmö and we got back to the hotel in good time.
The next day we headed for the Kirseberg area of town hoping to pick up the cyclepath towards Steffanstorp that we eventually found before heading North back into Lund to return the bikes at 1300.
The map we were given was produced by LundaMaTs that appears to have been a cycling initiative by Lund council (my Swedish isn't too good).
