Exploring the surrounding area and Mont Ventoux requires the necessary effort. Just like transporting your own (race) bike. Around the Mont Ventoux there are several rental companies with high quality bicycles. Here are the links to two rental companies at the foot of the Ventoux.

It may be convenient and practical to arrange the rental from home as the availability may be limited on a certain day.
In addition to MTB bikes, they also offer all-terrain bikes, electric bikes, and race bikes for rental.
The bike shop is located on the right as you enter Malaucene from Vaison la Romaine.

p.s. we have no commercial interests in mentioning this bike rental business but rather personal positive experiences.
