"Barcelona is a perfect city to discover by bike. At El Ciclo we offer quality bicycles, that will take you anywhere through town. By bike you will see a lot more and you will feel like a local.
Our Bikes
Our bicycles are perfect for a day around the city and will even get you to the Sagrada Familia or even Park Güell or Camp Nou without any problem. We offer quality city bikes (different sizes included XXL), extra comfort bicycles, e-bikes, and we also have different bikes for kids of all ages, child seats, and a carrier cycle (Dutch ‘bakfiets’) among others. Most of our bicycles are 3-or more speed bikes.
Are you considering renting a bicycle? We recommend you, particularly in peak season and during school holidays, to reserve before hand. Because we are a small scale business (by choice), we have a limited bicycle supply.
Important Information
Keep in mind that it’s very important to always lock your bicycle, and that you should never leave you bicycle anywhere unlocked. El Ciclo provides you with 2 locks per bicycle. Make sure you use them! Besides that, it is forbidden to lock your bike to anything else but designated bicycle parkings. If you do so, the city will confiscate the bicycle. Therefore, always lock your bicycle to a bicycle parking spot.
