At Mobilboard, you can choose to rent a bike for free or for a guided tour. If you'd like to go at your own pace, we'll be happy to advise you on the best places to go and the safest, most accessible routes. Have you chosen a guided tour? Follow the guide! We'll help you discover Lyon through our little secrets and anecdotes. Here are just a few of the things you can do in Lyon by bike:
The banks of the Rhône
This is where the ViaRhôna passes through on its way to Geneva or the Mediterranean. The ViaRhône crosses Lyon over 7km from north to south with this beautiful, traffic-free promenade.
Parc de la Tête d'Or
One of our favorite spots. With its 114 hectares of greenery, the Parc de la Tête d'Or is Lyon's green lung. You can stop off to enter the tropical greenhouses, discover the animals in the animal park or stroll through the magnificent rose garden. With Mobilboard, bike locks are included in the rental price, so don't hesitate to stop and take in the sights!
The banks of the Saône
From Île Barbe to Confluence, cycling along the Saône is a must and a particularly pleasant experience. You'll love seeing the different landscapes unfold before you: natural waterside to the north, urban and contemporary to the south. You'll also pass through Vieux-Lyon, one of the city's historic districts and undoubtedly one of its most emblematic.
La Confluence
Formerly an industrial wasteland with a market-train station and the old port of Lyon, today it's a contemporary district with a thousand faces. You'll love cycling here, and even stopping off at the Place Nautique for a relaxing moment with friends or family.
Prices vary according to equipment and duration. For example, expect to pay €20 for a half-day bike rental, €25 for a 2-hour electric bike rental, €40 for a guided tour of the Grand Tour de Lyon or €39 for our Food Tour by bike!
Yes, families are very welcome at Mobilboard. We have children's bikes from age 6 (20 inches), child seats (up to 20kg), a single-seater trailer (up to 45kg) and a 4-seater cargo bike to take your tribe with you.
You can choose between 4 types of bikes for rental:
The anti-theft device and basket are always included in our rental packages. Our helmets are available free of charge (not compulsory for children over 12).
We offer 17.5L touring panniers, puncture-proof bombs and rain jackets for hire, subject to availability. We recommend booking in advance on the website.
There is no assistance in our rental packages. In the event of breakage or a puncture: we can't pick you up, you must return by your own means. We invite you to give us a call so that we can direct you to the easiest way back.
Our bikes are under warranty for each rental. In the event of a breakdown or puncture, repair costs will be invoiced, but you will only be charged the deductible of 10% of these costs.
Yes, we've designed our tours to be as accessible as possible. That's why the majority of our tours are on flat itineraries, like our 2-hour tour of the Parc de la Tête d'Or or our 3-hour Grand Tour.
However, the 2h Panoramic tour is only available on electric bikes, and is therefore accessible to people aged 12 and over.
The only requirement is that you already know how to ride a bike without wheels. If you book a tour and you don't know how to ride a bike, you won't be reimbursed. To learn to ride a bike, we recommend the services of the association La Maison du Vélo Lyon, which organizes sessions.
Yes! After the summer and back-to-school seasons, we can sell some of our bikes. We invite you to visit our soft mobility vehicles for sale page.
