Valenbisi
Are you staying several days in Valencia and would you like to use a bicycle for a little city tour, but as well to travel from point A to point B? Then the Valenbisi system might be a very interesting possibility for you.
Valenbisi bikes across the city
Valencia offers around 2750 bicycles, spread among 275 stations in Valencia. You can rent these bicycles for short term, but also for long term. You can recognize the bicycles by the “Valenbisi” sticker on the bike. All bicycles have got a basket, an adjustable saddle and a biking lock. You can choose between a card for a long term period (you can rent a bike during the whole year, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day) or a card for a short term period (during 7 consecutive days, you can make use of the Valenbisi bikes 24 hours a day). The bikes are distributed over 275 Valenbisi bike stations in Valencia. On the website of Valenbisi, you can find an overview of the distribution points.
Keep in mind!!
If you are not used to the city yet, the Valenbisi system could be a bit unpleasant. For example, when you are looking to grab a bike on Monday morning and you find out all the Valenbisi stations near you are empty! Or if you want to spend your Sunday afternoon at the beach and take a Valenbisi from the centre, to find out later that there is no more parking space left at the Valenbisi parkings at the beach. Only if you know where the stations are located and you’ve found out which stations have enough (or not enough) bikes at certain moments, the Valenbisi system could really come in handy. If not, another option could be long term rental.
How does it work?
If you are going to use your long term card, keep in mind that you first have to scan your card and then enter your code. The first time you have to read the conditions of Valenbisi, then you will be able to choose a bicycle. During 60 seconds you have time to push on the unlock button in order to get the bicycle disconnected of the bike station. From the moment that you take the bike, you have got 30 minutes of free use. When you return the bike at a bike station, you need to connect the bicycle to a pole at the bike station. If you hear a bleeping sound, then you know that the bike is connected to the station.
