I'll be in England in early August for a few days and would like to rent a road bike in order to ride the TdF Stage 1 route to Canterbury. I'm no racer, but retracing an actual TdF stage has been on my life to-do list for a long time. I would greatly appreciate suggestions as to where I could rent a bike comparable to my Lemond Sarthe 59cm, as I'm quite partial to steel and comfortable geometry. Alas, it would just be a one day rental, as my time in England is limited and the schedue is already rather full. After meeting the family there to tour the cathedral, I'd like to take the bike back to London the the train. Is this a feasible plan? Also, is there a more detailed map of the TdF Stage 1 route available on line than
