Lyon is one of France's most pleasant cities to discover by bike: over 1,000 km of cycle paths, a largely peaceful city center and two rivers lined with landscaped quays. Renting a bike in Lyon means choosing the freest way to visit the city, without having to depend on transport timetables or parking spaces.
Our branch is located at 6 quai Romain Rolland, in the heart of Vieux-Lyon, a 2-minute walk from the Vieux Lyon metro station (line D) and right on the banks of the Saône. When you leave the store, you're directly on the ViaRhôna and Voie Bleue: no busy streets to cross before you start your bike ride around Lyon.
Our city bikes are designed with Lyon in mind: comfortable upright position, soft saddle, mudguards, kickstand and luggage rack to carry your belongings. Their simple, smooth drivetrain makes it easy to tackle short climbs, while remaining fluid on the long straights of the banks of the Rhône.
They're perfect for a day's bike rental to visit the Presqu'île, reach Confluence or make a family loop to the Parc de la Tête d'Or. The wide tires provide stability and comfort for your bike ride around Lyon.
For effortless climbing of Fourvière or Croix-Rousse, our electrically-assisted bikes are available from €20 for 2 hours. With a range of up to 120 km, they're also ideal for the ViaRhôna or the Voie Bleue to Trévoux.

For families, we offer children's bikes (sizes 20" and 24") as well as baby seats and trailers (subject to availability). The frames are light and easy to step over, with reassuring braking and gears adapted so that younger riders can keep up without tiring.
As a guide, the 20" size often fits around 120-135 cm and the 24" around 135-150 cm (store fitting recommended). Helmets and bells are supplied for a safe outing on the banks of the Rhône or in the shady lanes of the Parc de la Tête d'Or.
From our departure point in Vieux-Lyon, here are three bike itineraries tested by our team to make the most of your rental:
Around 8 km round trip via the quays of the Saône and then the banks of the Rhône. 100% flat, entirely on cycle paths, perfect for children. Ideal with a 2-hour rental package.
Around 15 km from Vieux-Lyon to Confluence, the banks of the Rhône, Parc de la Tête d'Or and back. Almost 100% on cycle paths. Choose a 4-hour package to take time out for breaks.
40 to 60 km round-trip south of Lyon, along the Rhône, on a serviced cycle route. Our electric bikes are particularly well suited to this day trip.
