Dunno if this lot are still going, but I've hired from them before and they
were pretty good and very reasonably priced:

If they are still around, you could make it a fly-ride holiday - Lisburn's
not a million miles from the airport (though you'd probably need to get a
taxi).

If you are biking over there, make sure you take in the A2 coast road from
Larne round to Portstewart. You might also want to do a lap or two of the
Ulster GP circuit (about a ten minute ride from the bike hire place, all on
nice quiet public roads).
