Bicing Barcelona

Bicing
(Bike rentals in Barcelona)

Barcelona is a great biking city and has a lot of designated bike lanes. We saw a lot of these rental bikes.   I think because of it was winter, not many were in use. 

It looks like you get a prepaid card which allows you to use the bikes.  You tap your card on the screens and one of the numbered bikes gets unlocked.  The are many pick-up and drop-off locations on the street, so it is pretty convenient.  Some areas are more popular than others, so once in a while, Bicing vans pick up surplus bikes to deliver to bike-less areas.
