3 ways to rent a bike in Granada
A robust bike rental service has yet to evolve in Granada but it may just be a matter of time before quality bikes are available to rent here. Granada’s tourism department has published info (in Spanish) about where to rent bikes on its website and we’ve provided instructions at the bottom of this post on how to access that information. We’re also highlighting a few shops where to rent a bike (marked on the map below) that we’ve either worked with or have been recommended to us based on the quality of their bikes and service.
Bicicletas la Estación, Granada
Bicicletas la Estación is located close to the center of Granada at Calle Molinos, 20, and is easy to get to by foot. They offer carbon fiber road and mountain bike rentals, as well as urban and e-bike rentals. They also provide a more economical option to rent aluminum road and mountain bikes. Rentals start from a modest 25€ for a full day rental and they offer special pricing for groups and multi-day rentals. The best way to reach them is via email, bicicletaslaestacion(at)gmail.com, or simply pass by the shop if you’re exploring downtown. They are open Mon. – Fri., 9:30-13:30, 17:00-20:30; and Saturday, 10:00-13:30.
Kona fatbikes for rent at Balakook
Balakook, Granada
A little farther away from the city center in the direction of the Sierra Nevadas is Balakook. It is within walking distance of downtown just slightly off the main drag heading toward the mountains and it’s also the only shop where you can quite literally start riding off-road from the shop’s door at Calle El Purche, 10. You can rent Kona and GT 29″ and 27.5″ mountain bikes, and fatbikes. Prices start at 25€ to rent a bike for a full day and come with helmet, lock, spare tube, and pump. The website is a bit out of date so your best bet is to email them, info(at)balakook.com. Shop hours are Mon. – Fri. 10:00-14:00; 17:00-20:30; Saturday, 10:00-14:00. Summer evening hours (June, July, August) are 17:30-21:00.
BSM Bikes, Churriana de la Vega
BSM Bikes launched its rental service in 2017 with Scott, Orbea, and Focus road, mtb, and e-bikes so it’s a good option if you’re visiting with a large group. Located 7km southwest of Granada at Carretera de Alhama, 54, in Churriana de la Vega, you can either go to the shop or book rentals directly via the dedicated rental website. You can also arrange for the bikes to be dropped off and picked up for a fee anywhere in the province of Granada. Fees for dropoff/pickup range from 20€-160€ and the website includes a map divided into zones that display fees for each zone. Rentals start at 30€ per day and include spare tube, tire levers, a pump, and a multi tool. All bike rentals require a 100€ deposit. FMI call +34 617 162 187.
