 Plenty of bikes available here by filipdebont
In fact it is a great system; you can pick up a bike at one bike stand, drive to the other part of the city, and leave it at another bike stand.
After you have done your sightseeing, you go back to the bike stand pick another bike and continue your journey.
At their website you can see where the bike stands are located, and you also can see the number of available bikes.
To use such a bike you need a City Bike Tourist Card, which you can get from :
- Royal Tours, Herrengasse 1-3, 1010 Vienna (open : daily 9:00-11:30 a.m. and 1:00-6:00 p.m.)
- Pedal Power, Ausstellungsstrasse 3, 1020 Wien (open : daily 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.)
- or in your hotel
What does it cost:
Fee for the card : 2 euro (per day)
Bike :
1st hour : free
2nd hour : 1 euro
3rd hour : 2 euro
4th - 120th hour : 4 euro
A Useful tip:
As the first hour is free, and after a waiting period (time for a beer), you can take another bike and it is again free for the first hour. Like this you can drive 1 hour for free, rest for 15 minutes, drive 1 hour for free, rest 15 minutes, drive 1 hour for free, . . . .
Loosing your City Bike Card will cost you 10 euro
Loosing your City Bike will cost you . . . . . 600 euro Leave a Comment

 'Free' bikes at Scwedenplatz by Ekaterinburg
Sounds unbelievably complicated ? it certainly seems complicated to me but would be worth pursuing if cycling is your favourite way to get about. The slogan 'City Bikes for Free' is definitely misleading as you have to pay a daily fee to register, but after that, if you're clever you can cycle for free. This would involve changing bikes every hour, as the first hour is always free. Complicated ? Well personally, I couldn't even begin to get my head around it but if you're interested all details are available from citybikewien.at

 rent a bike in Vienna by globetrott
All you have to do is
REGISTER with an Austrian Bancomat-card (ATM-card), registry is just 2 Euros.
the 1st hour is free
2 hours = 2 Euros
3 hours is 4 Euros
4 hours is 8 Euros
every extra hour is 4 Euro afterwards.
Get your bike at one of the many bike-stations ( most of them are close to tourist-attractions in the centre ) and give it back at ANY station, so you need NOT go back, where you started.
When your bike is stolen - you have to pay 600 Euros.
The link below is just in German, BUT the way I understand it, it will not work with a foreign ATM-card !!

Last year a similar company started with bikes that you could rent for a DEPOSIT of 1 Euro and get back the money...
...BUT 99% of the customers did not return the bike and lost that 1 Euro that way.
;-)) I could have told them in advance !! Leave a Comment Theme: BicycleWebsite: http://www.citybike wien.at/

As I didn't see the city by bike I am not sure about costs and timings etc, but it seems that it is very easy to pick up a bike at various locations around the city and leave it at another. If I was staying longer and the weather was good it is certainly a method of transportation I would consider taking. Leave a Comment

I think it most be great to experience a sightseeing tour around the historical part of Vienna in such a bike-taxi or why not cal it the modern version of the rickshaw.
I have no idea what it costs.
But going with such a bike-taxi has some advantages :
- You do not have to cycle yourself, no painful feet from the ling walking
- If it starts to rain, you are covered, so you will stay dry.
So this might be a tip for my next Vienna city trip.
But of course there are also the City Bike Tours.
Pedal Power is one of the bike companies which deliver several services:
- First they rent bikes, they even deliver the bike (and collect it afterwards) at your hotel.
- They also organise guided tours
Prices can be found on their website (see below) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: 01/729 72 34Website: www.pedalpower.at Other Contact: office@pedalpower.at
