Bikes in Barcelona

By Chloe Battaglia in Barcelona  |  1 year ago  |  0 comments

While Barceloneta Bikes or BudgetBikes can be rented by everyone, including tourists, Bicing is a public eco-friendly program initiated by the mayor especially for residents. Bicing is a new way to travel from one point to the other and reduce noise and pollution in the city. Most of the bike centres are close to bus stations, metro stations and parking areas.

There are more than 300 bike centres in Barcelona. 

Choosing your bike

By Emilia Despa in Anywhere  |  2 years ago  |  1 comments

When you decide to buy yourself a bike for the first time, it is important to choose what fits you well.

You need to take into consideration 3 things:
What is your height?
What is more important for you: comfort or speed?

If you're a woman, there are several manufacturers that have specific models created for ladies.

Buy a hybrid bike if you plan to ride city roads and see lots of places as a tourist. In Barcelona, the bikes they rent are hybrid bikes. They combine the advantages of an upright mountain bike with the efficiency of a road bike.
