Bamboo Bike Tours – Europe's First Bamboo Bike Tours and Rental Service

Explore Barcelona on a bamboo bike for an eco-friendly and sustainable tourism experience

Since 2015, Bamboo Bike Tours has been committed to promoting responsible tourism in Barcelona, emphasizing sustainability and respect for the local environment. Our small-group guided tours take you through Barcelona’s iconic sites and hidden gems while preserving the peace and charm of the city’s neighborhoods.

Our bamboo bikes, handcrafted in Barcelona, offer a sustainable, eco-friendly mode of transportation, perfect for authentic exploration. Made from natural, renewable materials, they help reduce our carbon footprint while supporting local artisans and fair trade practices.

Commitment to Sustainable Tourism and a Circular Economy

Our mission is to minimize environmental impact while boosting Barcelona’s local economy. Through our brand, ETIKA Bikes, we create unique bikes designed in Barcelona that combine artisanal skill and high-quality materials for a comfortable and responsible ride. Since 2018, we have partnered with José Manel Gruas Figuera, a farmer in Lleida, to co-manage a 5,000 m² bamboo plantation, ensuring a sustainable source of local bamboo.

Socially Engaged Tourism

By choosing Bamboo Bike Tours, you are supporting ethical and community-driven tourism in Barcelona. Once we become profitable, we commit to donating 10% of our annual profits to local associations supporting youth integration in Barcelona’s underserved neighborhoods. Currently, we invest all our resources into developing different bike models to provide a high-quality, sustainable mobility solution. We also work to make our activities accessible to all, offering mobility solutions for people with disabilities and creating inclusive job opportunities.

Why Choose a Bamboo Bike to Explore Barcelona?

Bamboo is a naturally resilient and flexible material, ideal for bike frames and forks. Its flexibility absorbs road vibrations for exceptional comfort. Additionally, crafting a bamboo bike consumes about 10% of the energy needed to produce an aluminum or steel bike, making it a highly eco-friendly option.

Tailored Tours for a Unique Barcelona Experience

Our bamboo bike tours in Barcelona let you explore the city’s must-see spots: the Port, the beach, the Olympic Village, the Parliament of Catalonia, Ciutadella Park, the Arc de Triomf, and the Gothic Quarter. We also offer customized tours, tailored to your preferences and interests, for a personalized and memorable experience.
