Guide Review - CityBike: Using Bicycles In Stockholm, Sweden
Dedicated to ecological transportation alternatives, Stockholm is continually expanding the bicycle rental service CityBike and already has over 1,000 bikes and 80+ parking stations for the bicycles.
If you wish to get one of the bicycles at these stations, you will need either a one-time card for SEK 25, or a season card for SEK 200 (bonus: free helmet). The cards are widely available.
Watch the clock, as the loan time per rental is 3 hours - after that, you will have to return your bike and get a new one if needed.
CityBike's bike parking stations in Stockholm are to open for lending daily between 6 am - 6 pm between April 1 - October 31. However, you can return bikes around the clock.
From here, you should visit the Stockholm Travel Guide for more useful travel tips for this Scandinavian destination!
