What to expect
You'll collect your bike, get fitted with safety gear, and receive a paper map highlighting Madrid's architectural gems and established eateries. From there, you're free to wander cobbled quarters, cross plazas, and pedal through neighbourhoods at whatever speed suits you. The bike itself becomes part of the experience—vintage models give a different feel to modern city cycling. Retiro Park is immediately accessible if you want to break from traffic and ride through leafy paths. Expect a mix of busy thoroughfares and quieter backstreets, with plenty of stopping points for coffee, churros, or a sit-down meal.
