Bicing

Organized and maintained by the city council of Barcelona in 2007, Bicing has taken the city by storm. It’s based on a sharing system where cardholders take an available bike from a bike station and return the bike to the closest station to them at the end of their journey. To activate the card, users must pay an annual fee of 48€, the first 30 minutes of travel are free, but each 30 minutes after, the user will be charged 0.74 € more. For this, and the fact that users must have a NIE/TIE document to use Bicing, we recommend this system for people are staying longer than 3 months and who plan to use the bike systems several times a day, all year round!
