Our Favorite Bike Rental in Lyon ❤️! This is already the third time we’ve rented bikes from Holland Bikes in Lyon, and every time has been an absolute pleasure! We just love this activity with our son. Holland Bikes truly is the best place in Lyon to rent a bike, whether you're looking for a regular or electric one. The quality of the bikes and equipment is excellent, and they offer everything you need for a family outing, from child seats to trailers and more. Everything is clean, well-maintained, and clearly chosen with comfort and safety in mind. The location couldn’t be more perfect. As soon as you're set up, you can hop on your bike and ride straight along the riverside path, right from the doorstep of the shop. It’s scenic, peaceful, and ideal for families. Frank is absolutely trustworthy, incredibly friendly, and always gives us the best advice on where to ride based on what we’re looking for. His local tips have made each ride even more enjoyable. We can't wait for our next trip and of course, another ride with Holland Bikes. Here are a few pictures from our recent family adventure! We simply love Holland Bikes. Highly recommended !! 🤩🚲👶

Excellent service! We're old school, so we rented mechanical city bikes :) They worked smoothly on the 30 km we rode on both rivers' sides. I liked the automated lights. ^^ An amazing bonus was that we received detailed plans (routes and map) suited for our ride as well as a list with the best places to eat in Lyon (we tested one and it was great). So tourist-guide services were included and much appreciated.

Rented some bikes at this place for my group of friends. The service was excellent and they offer an option for me as I don’t ride bikes 😂 they gave us an e-bike with the cargo so I could join the group. The bikes are good quality and comfortable :)

We rented a group of 9 bikes from Holland Bikes this week and had a great experience. Frank was professional and flexible, helpfully communicative and it was a great way to see Leon. We didn’t book early enough to do a tour, but it gave us a lot of flexibility to see the park, ride along the wide bike paths along the River, and stop for lunch. A great experience at a really reasonable price for the day!
