WARNING! There is no Guarantee against THEFT or against Breakage of BIKE or (Bike Parts) which will remain the responsibility of the customer !!!

In order to avoid chain breakage problems, always remember to respect the alignment of the chain: “The CHAIN ​​LINE” and shift gears correctly and without forcing! This will avoid any breakage problems !

CHAIN ​​LINE What is the “The CHAIN ​​LINE” ???

From the outside, the chainline seems like a trivial detail that is easy to adjust on a bike, especially if it is equipped with gears. However, you will see that the subject is quite complex! The chainline is a very important element of a bike’s transmission, especially when the bike is equipped with gears. We explain everything about the chainline! “The bicycle chainline”, what is it? The chainline of a bike is an imaginary line that passes through the center of the front chainring(s) and the center of the rear sprocket(s). It is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bike, that is to say the median axis of your bike which passes through the middle of the wheels, the middle of the bottom bracket as well as the center of the head tube.

Why is the chainline important on a bike ?

The chainline of a road bike, urban bike or a VTC, VTT is important for:
• The proper functioning of the transmission elements and gears
• Reducing premature wear of parts (sprockets, chain and chainrings)
• Ensuring better mechanical efficiency of the chain and better performance (although losses are minor, especially with more flexible modern chains)
• The safety of the cyclist, by avoiding derailments and therefore, chain breakage, or the risk of falling !!!

Of course, the more performance you are looking for, the more important the chainline is!

The consequences of a bad chain line

A bad chain line means that the front chainring(s) are not aligned with the rear sprocket(s) or the chain is crossed! What are the consequences on a bike?
• Malfunctioning gears
• Derailment of the chain
• Rattling when pedaling
• Problems changing gears, even when the derailleurs are correctly adjusted
• Or Chain breakage !

Given that we give customers the freedom to RENT bikes for the desired duration during the day: (from 1 hour to 1 day of use!?), and that we note the departure times just at the time of establishing the RENTAL contract and picking up the bikes, then, we will never be able to know who and when, how will return the bike(s)!

TOUR OF LAKE ANNECY How to go around Lake Annecy ?

40 kilometers long with a difference in altitude of 552 meters, the tour of Lake Annecy is the most popular bike ride in the area. Depending on your level and your desire, it can be done sportily in 2 hours or as a discovery ride between 3 hours and 4 hours, depending on the stops, or the day! With its 552 meters of elevation gain, we recommend doing it in a clockwise direction (East bank of the Lake), that is to say, first passing through Veyrier du Lac to return via Sevrier. Go down the East bank and go back up the West bank.

Since the cycle path does not go all the way around the lake, we recommend that you go through the small alleys that run along the edge of the lake between Veyrier du Lac and Menthon Saint Bernard (follow Tennis, then Port de Menthon Saint Bernard). This will take you to the Port, then to the Palace de Menthon where you will be blocked by the Roc de Chère. You will have to go around it by going up the palace road to the D909A (a small car park borders it) and you can go to the right to get the cycle path that will go up to Echarvine (Haut de Talloires) and at the junction continue on the right to go down to Talloires.

Be careful, the descent from Talloires must be taken with caution because it is very steep and therefore very fast with hairpin bends. Use both brakes simultaneously and progressively, anticipating well before each bend.

Then, we advise you to leave the main road to go down into the village of Talloires and its magnificent marina from where you can admire the Duingt castle in the distance.

Then, you will continue your descent towards the south of the lake by cycle path almost all the way. Only a small portion must be taken on the road. Stay well to the right in single file, putting children in the center of the line if there are any. Finally, the cycle path will take you along the south of the lake and its magnificent nature reserve (only accessible on foot) and then turn right after passing under a bridge. From this point on, the cycle path or greenway is complete to return to the north of the lake.

You can leave it at your leisure to return to the villages around it.

ATTENDANCE When are the busy periods ?

The busy periods are weekends, bank holidays (especially May), school holidays and especially summer.

Weekends: In good weather, there are always many more rentals, especially on Sundays. In February, March, April, October and November there are fewer people. In May, June and September, we advise you to come in the morning to be sure to have the equipment you want in your size.

Bridges: In good weather, the bridges attract as many people as in the middle of summer. Annecy being less than 2 hours by road from Geneva, Lyon and Grenoble for example, this allows you to enjoy a long weekend between lake and mountains. We can generally empty our stock of bikes in less than 2 hours. Plan to come early in the morning with your deposit.

PLEASE NOTE, we only have 85 VAE, electric bikes and this is an increasingly growing demand and it could be that 30 minutes to 1 hour maximum after opening, we no longer have this type of bike! Please note that we still have almost 700 bikes spread over the 3 ROUL’ ma POULE stores between ANNECY and ANNECY le VIEUX, SEVRIER!

Be CAREFULL bis, the parking spaces around our stores and Lake Annecy are stormed, hence the obligation to come early enough! School holidays: In case of good weather, we

School holidays: In case of good weather, we have more bike rentals and in particular children’s bikes, trailers and seats. As we have fewer children’s bikes and in different sizes, do not hesitate to check the availability of sizes with us because all 20-inch bikes can be taken out when we will still have 24-inch bikes for example. Plan to come early during school holiday weekends because vacationers as well as locals will increase the number of people in the store. Summer: In case of good weather, this is the high season for all the traders around the lake. The period from July 15 to August 25 is quite touristy and the use of bikes is almost obligatory since the only road around the lake is always saturated with traffic jams that can last up to several hours.

Remember to come early enough to come RENT and CHOOSE your type of BIKE! It will be easier!

Please note, we only have about thirty electric bikes and this is an increasingly growing demand. Beyond 30 minutes to 1 hour maximum, we will no longer have electric bikes !

PARKING Is it possible to park near the stores easily ?

The ROUL’ ma POULE ANNECY store is located next to 5 free and paid car parks and less than 2 minutes walk away.

The ANNECY le VIEUX store is located next to 3 free and paid car parks less than 2 minutes walk away.

The SEVRIER Store is located next to the Carrefour Market located 200m away, with free car parks.

It is therefore easy to park but be careful, all these car parks are on the lakeside and known to all. In case of good weather and during weekends, public holidays, school holidays and high summer, you will have to come early enough in the morning to be sure to find a space. Before 11:00 a.m.!

Annecy is a much more touristy city than it seems and the traffic is dense, especially because only one road borders the lake and the old town of Annecy along the canal at the mouth of the lake is completely pedestrianized. Plan your visit accordingly!

GIFT VOUCHER Is it possible to make a gift voucher ?

All payments must be made either via our website, or on the day because we never know how long our customers will use our bikes. However, the gift voucher can be made in advance if you come to the store by defining precisely what type of equipment you want, the exact rental period and making the payment at that time. People receiving the gift voucher will potentially have to notify us of their arrival in the event of a specific rental (Comfort Bike, SPORT Light Fitness Bike, E-BIKE VAE, LONGTAIL FAMILY VAE, Child Trailer, Dog Trailer, etc. for example) and if they can reserve the equipment. In any case, our team will explain in detail the entire procedure to follow to take full advantage of this GIFT VOUCHER.

OPENING OF THE SHOPS Are the stores open all year round ?

The ANNECY store has an annual opening, from January to the end of December. We also open in December during the Christmas market. We are closed only a few days in January for the holidays.

The ANNECY le VIEUX store also rents bikes and opens for a shorter time during the year, from the beginning of April to the beginning of November.
