Pick up a copy of the bike path map, available at MétroVélo agencies and the tourism office. It has many ideas for pleasant bike rides.Description:
MétroVélo is Grenoble's bike rental system that allows clients to use a bicycle for anywhere from half a day to a full year. With more than 280 kilometers of marked, dedicated bike paths, cycling around Grenoble is safe and easy, even for visitors.Prices range from 3 euros for half a day to 100 euros for a yearly rental with maintenance service. Students under 26 and young people under 19 can also get reduced rates with proof of identity.
Renting is easy. You go to a MétroVélo agency, either near the train station or at the university campus, pay, and pick out a bike. A deposit, ranging from 90 to 150 euros is required, but it is reimbursed when you return the bicycle.
Recently, the city installed 22 MétroVélo boxes around the city, making it possible to rent a bike without going to an agency. A seven day rental is the shortest available with the boxes, at a price of 4 euros.
