It’s easy to get lost in the streets of the old town, even if you’ve lived here for years! If you think you’re lost or know that you’re going to arrive a little late, try to let us know as soon as possible. If you call our offices, somebody will be on hand to advise or provide you with directions. If your group has already left, they may even be able to take you to catch up with them. However, it is always best to arrive as punctually as possible in order to avoid any disappointment, so plan your route accordingly or familiarise yourself with the neighbourhood beforehand.

Come rain or shine, Barcelona eBikes Tours hits the roads. Luckily, Barcelona enjoys about 300 days of sun a year, so you’re not likely get caught in the rain. However, in the unlikely event that your stay in the city coincides with a wet spell, you will have to come prepared as we are not able to provide ponchos or rain-macs for everyone.

Helmets are a legal requirement for all riders under 16 years of age. For anybody over 16, helmets are not obligatory but recommendable, especially if you’re not a confident cyclist. Barcelona is a safe, relaxing city for cyclists but the important thing is that you feel comfortable so you can be free to enjoy what the city has to offer.

Barcelona is a very safe city for cyclists of all ages and abilities. The established routes have been planned with safety in mind and are either equipped with cycle-lanes or have been fully pedestrianised.

However, as always, you will need to use your common sense and pay attention to the vehicles around you.

And as with all bikes, there’s always a risk of oil – so avoid wearing your best whites! During the hottest months, you should also keep sun-cream and an extra bottle of water with you at all times.

The tour will last approximately 3 hours (1100-1400). However, this can vary according to start time, group size, and the ever-present risk of flat tyres. We therefore give ourselves a grace period of about half an hour. Except in rare circumstances, tours are almost always finished by about 1430. If you have other commitments before this time, please let your guide know so that they can make any necessary changes to the itinerary.
