About US
Welcome to Beach Bikes Valencia, your premier destination for bicycle rentals in Valencia’s vibrant beach district.
Our Story
Originally from London, England, our founder Chris arrived in Valencia in 2014 after extensive travels. Enchanted by the city’s transformation into a premier cycling destination—with over 200 km of bike paths, flat terrain, 300 sunny days per year, and mild winters—he envisioned sharing this cycling paradise with others.
In 2017, recognising the potential, Chris established Beach Bikes Valencia Rental Shop near the beach, offering access to many scenic routes for example, north to Port Saplaya (Little Venice), south to Albufera Natural Park, and west to the city via the Turia River Park.
Our mission is to rent top-quality, well-maintained bicycles to enhance your exploration of this beautiful city.
What Sets Us Apart
At Beach Bikes Valencia, we prioritise cleanliness, safety, and customer satisfaction. Our bikes are meticulously cleaned and inspected after every rental, ensuring a comfortable and reliable ride. We equip our bicycles with anti-flat tyres and offer fair-use insurance for peace of mind. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our 5-star rating on TripAdvisor, with over 200 reviews from satisfied customers.
