Where to rent a bike in Paris Our addresses for two-wheeled cycling in the capital

Whether you're looking for a mechanical bike, an electric bike, a cargo bike, a child's bike or a bike with a seat for your little ones, the rental stores in Paris certainly have what you're looking for! Not to mention the many accessories: helmets, panniers and more are also available with a bike rental, for a small extra charge. Generally speaking, you can rent your two-wheeled machine for an hour, two hours, half a day or a full day, and if you want to try the big adventure and go on a cycling trip over several days, the package can be adapted to the length of your rental.
