Thanks.

No sure about the Old Town but generally there are plenty of places around that do hire them. In fact they seem to be the in thing and they're spreading like a rash. Certainly out here most hotels do them as well as some Ticket Shops. As for cost, they are usually 10 Euro a day for a normal push bike but you have to pay a bit more for one of those motorised jobs.
If you want one for any length of time (e.g. a week or more) it works out quite a bit cheaper to buy a new one from Continente & then try & sell it (or dump it) before you go home.

I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

There is a bike hire shop on left going into Old Town from Explorers roundabout, where all the flood water piled in. They have dozens of bikes, very busy.

Yes I saw that new shop the other day. It is right opposite the taxi ranks and bus stops, in Avenida da Liberdade.

They have a website http://www.algarvebikeholidays.com/bike-rental/" rel="nofollow - http://www.algarvebikeholidays.com/bike-rental/
