Bike Tours in Stockholm
Guided Bike Tours – We Are Not Fans!
You cram forward between 20 other cyclists. You can just about hear your yellow-vested guide tell you that the house of parliament was constructed in 1900. Or was it 1800? Before you manage to take a photo, the group is off. Hastily you pack down your camera and rush off to pick up with the group. You’re getting warm. But no time to take off your jacket; the tour goes on. You get cut off by a traffic light. The rest of the group already crossed. Where is the guide? It starts to rain. Oh, how lovely it would be to find shelter in that lovely cafe on the corner.
Sounds like fun? Nah, we didn’t think so either. That’s why we came up with an alternative to traditional bike tours in Stockholm!
Self Guided GPS Bike Tours – Freedom & Fun!
We’re not huge fans of guided city rides if you haven’t noticed. That’s why we came up with our GPS bike tours. The best way to explore Stockholm on two wheels. At your own pace. At your own pick. At your own time. Don’t expect our bike tours to tell you in which year the house of parliament was constructed. We wouldn’t know! What we do know is that it’s not what you come for anyways. You came to find Södermalm’s best freshly brewed cappuccino. The place where local lovers go to watch the sunset. The best parks for a bbq with friends. We will show you Stockholm. Where real life goes on. The spots which we love, in the city that we love. A city that’s best explored on two wheels.

Other important information
- You need a charged smartphone with an internet connection and Google Maps.
- This tour is contactless, there is no staff involved. You unlock the bikes yourself with the provided codes and follow the instructions on how to get the route going.
- To save you the hassle of getting another app we made our biking route as a layer in Google Maps. This means that you will always see it on map view, and that a directional (navigational) view is not possible. It is important therefore that you have basic map reading skills.
- The tour does not include an audio guide
