How does Bicing Barcelona work?

22-10-2020

Bicing is urban transport based on the shared use of mechanical and electric bicycles. A simple, practical and sustainable service that you can use on your trips around the city. To go where you want and when you want, without smoke or noise. In addition, it is an ideal way to enjoy the corners of the city, while you exercise and contribute to the environment.

Its operation is as simple as carrying out the online registration, paying the annual subscription, finding your closest station and starting pedaling to your destination.

It is important to note that Bicing is a service designed for citizens of Barcelona, ​​not for tourism, since for eventual visitors to the city there is a wide range of bicycle rental companies. To ensure that the service is accessed by resident users or users who regularly frequent the city, a valid DNI or NIE associated with the subscription holder is requested at the time of registration.

But don't worry, since when you stay in Barcelona Residencias Sardenya throughout the school year, we will help you with the registration procedures so that you can be a user of this service.

Is Bicing a comfortable mobility option from the residence?

The answer to this question is a big YES, since right in front of the residence there is a Bicing station, where you can both start a journey, and park your bike when you return.

The station is located at C / sardenya 326, that is, at the door of the residence!

For this reason, added to its low cost of membership and fees, we believe that Bicing is one of the best options to move around the city. And you, what are you waiting for to start pedaling around the city? Barcelona is better adapted to cycling than you think. Do not miss the following map of the lanes for cycling throughout the city, and remember that the bicycle is one more vehicle and, as such, you must circulate with caution and respect traffic regulations.

For more information about this service, consult the Bicing website.
