I went to Melbourne two years ago as part of a house swap (never do that again). There are a few places that can provide bikes for hire in Melbourne. It’s not cheap, though – I paid AU$339 (approximately £140) for a Diversion XJ900 for two days/three nights hire in mid-winter to go along the Great Ocean Road. Insurance was limited to third party only with £1,200 excess.

I hired a hornet from Garners (great bike!) and rode it up the Reefton Spur Road (fun road, especially with ice, snow and a 1/2 mile long diesel spill!). I was lucky as they had a half price winter sale on so hire was considerably cheaper. They are located very close to the centre of town.
