We visit Barcelona often and getting bikes at El Ciclo will now be a fixed appointment every time... the friendliness, flexibility (we could even get bikes on a Sunday when they are closed!) and perfect bikes are just some of the reasons why you should go and check them out!!

Being Dutch and thus practically born with a bicycle, an e-bike tour was the best way to discover Barcelona. Our tour guide (Mathieu, if I wrote that correctly) spoke in our native tongue and I would recommend him to any Dutchmen or Belgians. I had a great day thanks to him and I learned a bit about Gaudi and Keith Harring along the way (again, no clue if I wrote those names correctly).

We LOVED Ramiro's bike shop! We stopped because it looked so beautiful and ended up renting bikes for the afternoon. After we came back, we ended up chatting for a bit and our friends bought one of his lamps that he makes from bicycle parts!
