One day bike rental/tour in Marrakesh - any recommendations?

[baxb]

Hi all, off to Marrakesh for a long weekend in early March, have seen a few places that offer bike hire and organised one day tours - E.g Ride Maroc, Oasis Road.

Anyone tried one & has any recommendations? I'll have Mrs B as pillion so not looking for any off road stuff, just be nice to have a day out of the city exploring.

No first hand experience of this but i spent a week in Marrekesh a few years back, it was 40+deg and the roads were utter chaos

My advice would be hire a car, i know its not the BB way to do things. I can't imagine the hired safety gear is very good while the likelihood of having an accident is greatly increased by crap roads, poor driving and being uncomfortably warm on an unfamiliar bike.

edit: one days tours may be okay i thought you were suggesting just hiring a bike
