Bicing: bike-sharing

Bicing: shared use of bicycles

If you like getting about on bicycle you’re in luck, because Barcelona is a great city for such transport and has many cycle lanes.

In addition, it also offers Bicing, a means of transport based on a shared use of bicycles. It has stations throughout the city, located near to metro and bus stations, to encourage the use of combined transport; all of them have conventional and electric bicycles available.

Bicing users have to be resident in the city and over the age of 16. If you meet these requirements, you can take out an annual pass that will let you use the system’s bicycles. All you need to do is hold your card against the station’s card reader, unlock a bike and start pedalling!

Bicing bicycles are intended for residents and are not an option for tourists or visitors.

You can obtain further information on the Bicing website (only in Spanish and Catalan) or use Smou, Barcelona’s personal mobility app
