Biking around the city is a healthy, sustainable and fun way to see Madrid. When traveling by bike, you can go at your own pace, but have the advantage of moving faster than with your own two feet.

The city is constantly updating and improving its network of bike paths, making it easier than ever to explore. Bikes can take you to all the major sights in the city center, as well as off the beaten path where you can discover the best hidden gems. This guide to renting bikes in Madrid will show you where to get started.<\/p>

It’s easy to use, too: simply register using the machine at one of the docking stations and choose whether you’d like to use the service for one<\/a>, three<\/a> or five days.<\/p>
