Bicycle tour
Discover the authentic Barcelona during our popular bicycle tour. A private guide, a local who’s been living in the city for a long time and knows all hidden gems, will show you the best of Barcelona. Our guides adapt each tour to our clients’ needs and wishes, and give numerous tips for a perfect city trip.
Rent a bike
At El Ciclo you can rent comfortable city bikes to discover the city with. Baskets, seats for children, good locks and a helmet are included in the price. Feel like a local and get to know Barcelona from a bicycle! It’s recommendable to make a reservation.
Bicycle concept store
El Ciclo is not your average bicycle store or rental. Our passion for bikes and for what we do helped us to convert our small scale shop into a true tribute to this two-wheeler. Feel free to come by and have a look. It’s our pleasure to share our work and bicycle love with you.
Why would you choose El Ciclo?
El Ciclo is a true family business ran by the Argentinian bike lover and artist Ramiro Sobral, and by the Dutch journalist and Barcelona specialist Annebeth Vis. Ramiro can usually be found in the shop, where he will be working on his bicycle art (come and take a look in his atelier), and Annebeth shares her passion for the city by managing the bike tours.
A personal approach and flexibility are important for us at El Ciclo. We build our store with a lot of passion and love, and we are happy to invite you to have a look. Our bicycles for rental and tours are of a very high quality, and our tour guides are locals who’ve been living here for a long time, and know the city like the back of their hand. With their knowledge and tips, your stay in Barcelona will be even better.
