While 22% of the options explicitly list "Bicycle Provided" in their inclusions, the activity type itself is predominantly a Bike Tour (69% of options). Even if a specific listing does not highlight it in the summary, the mode of transport is overwhelmingly by bike (75% of options), meaning you will almost certainly be riding a provided rental rather than using your own gear.
