Cobbles and canals — ride slowly, it is a pedestrian-heavy area.

Strasbourg's landmarks by bike

How to read these times

Strasbourg is flat, so your average speed depends on traffic lights and pedestrian traffic rather than climbing. In the old town at busy hours, expect closer to 12 km/h.

On the canal and Rhine cycle paths there is almost nothing to stop for — that is where an e-bike genuinely saves time.

For long days out (Obernai, Colmar) add your breaks: 33 km is about two hours of pedalling, but a full day is realistic once you stop in the villages.

Frequently asked

How long does it take to cross Strasbourg by bike?
West to east through the centre is roughly 4 km: 15–20 minutes on a classic bike and 12–15 minutes on an e-bike, traffic lights included.
Can you cycle from Strasbourg to Kehl?
Yes. It is about 6.5 km from our shop over the Passerelle des Deux Rives — around 30 minutes on a classic bike, 20 on an e-bike, with no border formalities.
Do I need an e-bike for the wine route?
No, but it changes the day. Obernai is about 33 km with a gentle rise towards the vineyards; on an e-bike the outbound leg is comfortably under two hours.
Which rental rate should I pick?
Under eight hours out: the half day covers it. A full day, or a ride that finishes late: take the 24-hour rate and keep the bike overnight.
