I think there is a hire shop in Place Gambetta, near the centre> I'll check it out malcy and post up when i find out.

Hi Malc,

Try these guys, just off Gambetta (very central):

Espirit Cycles - http://www.espritcyclesbordeaux.com/accueil/index.html

And also Cool Bike Bordeaux - they're on the Quais at Chartrons (great location too). They have trailers for hire, which might be a good option if you're visiting in summer (more protection for the little ones than a seat - it can get very hot along the waterfront and on unshaded routes towards the coast and the vineyards):
