Thanks for the kind words! With the bikes getting so much use it's not surprising that they've all go their little issues, but A to B cover this off with an island wide breakdown service included in the hire price. Not sure about the other rental shops, but A to B certainly get the thumbs up from us!
of course me, being a dumb Yank, hadn't heard of Sark. 🙂no cars. how do the islanders get their supplies? from the ferry, obviously, but once the ferry drops them off, how do they get to the shops, homes, etc? hang on, that was a tractor that I just saw! and later on, a truck! so, no cars but yes to tractors and at least one truck?. ok, well, that probably answers my question about delivery of supplies! 🙂 talk about action filming on the bike! that one man invasion attempt was probably the most excitement the local bobby had in years!
Ah eagle eyes!! It looks like Sark has quite a few different ferries throughout the day bringing passengers/supplies etc, and most islanders had some sort of tractor or truck with which to get around. The lack of any tourist vehicles makes the island such a peaceful and pleasant place to be! We've just updated the description with a link to a bit more history about the prison/the one man invasion, explaining it much better than we can! On some websites, the chap even tried again the following year?! Determined!
Really enjoyed this! Such a curious place - hopefully one day I'll make it to all of the channel islands
They're such brilliant little islands, definitely take the opportunity to go if you can!
Best explore of Sark I've seen, very enjoyable thank you.
They need to service their hire bikes better though for sure lol.

The only motorised vehicles on Sark are the tractors, E-Bikes and Mobility scooters, no trucks.
Why flash text up on the screen and not allow time to read it . 😢
Ah, we'll note this for future!
