Want bicycles around Anuradhapura or Polonnaruwa without buying a full guided package. Is self-hire still easy at guesthouses, and what should we check before we roll out.

Guesthouse bikes are common. Check brakes, seat height, and lock before you pay — and carry water.

Self-hire is enough for a short circuit. Guides help if you want deep history, not if you only need wheels.

Start early and return before the hottest stretch. Ancient-city asphalt radiates.
