Travelling by public transport and bicycle offers greater flexibility – whether you use your own bike, a Bike & Ride scheme or a hire bike. At the same time, it makes a positive contribution to climate protection.
Various bike-sharing providers are available within the MVV network. An overview is provided below. Detailed information and rental terms and conditions can be found directly on the providers’ websites. The relevant links can be found under the respective menu items.
The locations of the rental bikes can be viewed in the MVV Travel Information service and in the MVV app. On request, the travel information service can also calculate combined journeys using public transport and a rental bike.
