Biking in Vienna is so easy. There are bike paths everywhere, and when the weather is pretty, it’s a real pleasure, even for a non-biker such as myself.
What’s really great is the city has what is called CityBike Wien It’s a program with over 25 bike stations throughout the entire city which allows you to rent a bike at a very low cost. All you do is find a station on the very easy-to-navigate website. Go to the station (usually near an U-Bahn), register at the station, pay using credit card or ATM card, pop the bike out of its docking station, and you are on your way.
The bike condition isn’t bad at all. I thought they were going to be beat up and abused, but both my bike and Paul’s were fine. We started out in the 12th district, which is more on the outskirts of the city, and rode the bikes into the Inner City.
Finally we have something else to do on a boring Sunday other than just go to a coffeehouse.
just for info – no offense: there are already 60 bike-stations in Vienna
I stand corrected! Thanks Helimax.
