Why rent a bike in Lyon with Mobilboard?

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.

  • Explore the banks of the Rhône and the Quais de Saône in complete tranquillity,
  • Cross the Presqu'île and easily reach the Confluence district,
  • Ride to the Parc de la Tête d'Or (117 hectares) along the landscaped banks,
  • Climb up to Fourvière or Croix-Rousse on our electrically-assisted bikes,
  • Take a day trip to Miribel-Jonage, the Monts d'Or or the ViaRhôna.
