    [Mountain Biking] Renting bike, gear and possibily a van to get to Tai Mo Shan/Tai Lam

    Hey guys,

    Here is my plan. After looking up a bit at mountain biking in HK, it seems there is some really nice things to do. Some friends and I have just applied for the HK permit so that should be OK in a few days I guess.

    I was looking at the HK MBA website and some of the trails in Tai Mo Shan/Tai Lam sounds pretty nice (1 - Tai Lam overview)

    I know you can rent bikes in HK as I did it several times between Shatian and Tai Mei Tuk but that was for easy biking on the road.
    My question is, do you have some advice on how I could borrow some Mountain Bikes and helmets which I could take to Tai Mo Shan/Tai Lam ? I gather there are no rental shops right close to the area.
    HK MBA mentions renting a van and a driver, sounds pretty easy enough but also wondering if perhaps there would be some shop who would rent the bikes, a helmet and provide the van ? Do you think that's asking too much ?

    Please do share your opinion on this as I am looking forward to start MBing in HK !
    Thanks !

    John
