“How could I forget to mention the bicycle is a good invention…happy days but sad I´m facin´…How could I forget to mention the bicycle…”

– Bicycle song, The Red Hot Chilly Peppers

Advice for those renting a bicycle

Though there are plenty of places offering excelent conditions to ride a bicycle in Barcelona, don’t just trust the flatness of the pavement. Riding a bicycle with traffic can bring all sorts of unexpected occurrences and riding next to the beach when a lot of people are walking can prove somewhat difficult. Be sure to respect the signs, respect traffic rules and, if it doesn’t cramp your style too much, use a helmet.
