bicycle rental
A staffed station or automatic installation where non-motorized bicycles are available for rental.
A bicycle rental facility is a place where non-motorized bicycles can be rented. This can be a manned station or an automatic vending machine with bicycles available.
The bicycles are non-motorized. The definition does not require a staffed counter because automatic rental installations are included.
Motorbike rental covers motorized cycles. The method of propulsion distinguishes that use from the bicycles rented here.
