I was thinking I could only walk a short way using crutches around Uluru and was able to hire a bike to cycle around the base! This was a fantastic way to go around the base of the rock. The height of the seat was adjusted and I was able to test ride prior to the full hire! I could take my time and use their mobile if I needed assistance. Everyone is given a map and the mobile number. The ride is mainly flat and some sandy areas during the first section of the cycle. There were bicycles for families including tag along and seats. Helmets were supplied as part of the hire.

Comfortable and well maintained bikes and clean helmets, convenient location, good payment options and no annoying paperwork or deposits required. There are bike racks located at the key sidetracks around the rock. Tag-along and kid seats are available too, but it does pay to call ahead to reserve these. Go early and allow the full three hour booking to do it thoroughly at an easy pace for the kids. Kids younger than about seven will probably need the tag-along as they may be too short to ride the kids' bikes, but even if you have not used one before they are very easy to get used to. You are advised to go anti-clockwise against the flow of pedestrians. The first half of the journey involves some narrower tracks, patches of soft sand, and lots of photo stops and areas to explore, but you make up a lot of time around the second half where the track is wide and hard and there are less reasons to stop. We did the ride twice in the week we were there and would not hesitate to do it again with our three kids aged nine, six and four.

We really enjoyed our bike trip round the rock, we went pretty slowly with plenty of water and photo stops and it took just over 2 hours so you can really take your time. The bikes were comfy, clean and well maintained. Only problem is getting there if you don't have a car - we asked around the resort and the only option was the Uluru express - costing $60 per person, a massive rip off as it's a 20 min drive. This is not the fault of the bike company, the guy told us he had tried to set up a combo deal but the bus people were more interested in ripping people off! We hitch hiked and easily got a lift there and back but this might not be an option for some people, which is a real shame as it was such a great experience! Thank you Outback Cycling!

This is a fantastic was to see Uluru. The guy running the business is nice and friendly. It is great to be able to stop and admire the rock close up and wander around the parts the interest you. Plus you can take heaps of photos of different areas of the rock. The only thing was that apparently the park requires that cyclist travel anti clockwise (as pedestrians travel clockwise) but if you are doing this early in the morning, you end up on the sunny side at the end. Would make more sense to do the trip clockwise and do the shady side last. Definitely do this as early as you can because it does get warm towards the end.

I loved it. Easy riding, excellent comfortable bikes and I suspect we were the envy of some of the walkers we ( carefully) rode around.We were offered baskets to put our things in which was very handy. Stopping where you wanted was a great way to indulge the senses with views or just giving space to the awe of this magnificent place. Go early to avoid crowds and heat.$30 per person for 3 hoursHighly recommended.

Jerry was great. 3speed easy bikes. A little sand at the start but then easy riding. We stopped a lot for photos and made it around in 1.5 hours so we did a second trip around really fast non stop (except water). Was not too hot between 7.30 and 10am and we were well hydrated so second time around we stopped once for water. Highly recommend this your. No guide necessary.

Great way to see Uluru. We hired bikes and rode around the base of Uluru, much quicker than walking and an enjoyable way to see it. Great staff at Outback Cycling, very friendly.

Stumbled across the bike hire arriving at the Rock and decided to give it a go instead of walking. What a good decision it was! Not only is it faster and probably easier, we could see more, the momentum provided a breeze, and the flies couldn't keep up! If you think you'd enjoy using the bike to get around, do it because you will!

My wife and I cycled around the rock and found it most enjoyable. You cycle anticlockwise against the foot sloggers. Some of them were struggling and appeared not set up properly with footwear , water etc. Our only concern is that the bike helmets are not cleaned properly between different riders.

We used this on Boxing Day 2014. It's absolutely the best way to go around the Rock because a) it's not too hot, b) it doesn't take too long and c) the flies can't keep up!. Staff were friendly and efficient and couldn't have been more helpful. We hired 3 adult and 2 children's bikes. All were easy to ride, with coaster (pedal back) brakes, so easy for young and old. We had plenty of water in the baskets provided, and also there are bottle holders on all the adult bikes. We set off at about 8.30am and made it round comfortably, with several stops (and 2 children and a Nana) within 2.5 hours, well before the 3 hour hire limit was up. A couple of sections are a bit sandy and were quite hard going for the youngest and oldest of our group, but if you get off and push, it's only really a couple hundred feet and then you're back on a good path again. It was brilliant, and highly recommend it!
