Our Trusty Metal Steeds

Steel Donkey Bike Tours have teamed up with one of the leading bike rental companies in the city to provide the two-wheel wonders we ride about town.

These stylish steeds are (appropriately enough) made with steel frames, have wide tyres for stability, comfortable sit-up saddles, and are equipped with three easy to use gears, which is all you need to navigate Barcelona’s mostly flat terrain. Hand-picked for urban exploring, these city bikes are extremely fun and easy to ride with great handling. They are all rigorously maintained, and most are less than a year old, so you won’t be able to rent a more reliable set of wheels in Barcelona!

Alternatively you can opt to take our tour on a state of the art electric bicycle, with a battery powered engine that assists pedalling. Our e-bikes also have sit up comfortable saddles, three gears and easy handling. They are available at a €10 surcharge.

All of our bikes come equipped with bells, lights and lock and we can supply you with a safety helmet free of charge.

After your Steel Donkey bike ride you might be so attached to your new steed that you want to keep it for a while longer, and carry on with some independent exploration. You can extend your rental at a cost of €10 a day for a city bike and €24 for an electric bicycle. No need to book in advance, we can sort this out with our rental partners after your tour.

As for what to see, our things to do list together with our alternative guide to Barcelona, might provide some inspiration – although when you meet us we’ll give you plenty of tips in person!
