Renting a bike in Florence starts from around €13 per day for a city bike. Electric bikes typically cost €25–36 a day, while mountain, road and gravel bikes vary by shop. Most rental companies offer lower daily rates for weekends and multi-day rentals, so booking several days at once is usually the best value. On Lokki you can compare prices across local shops before you book.

It depends on where you want to ride. A classic city bike is perfect for the flat historic centre and the riverside paths along the Arno. If you plan to reach Piazzale Michelangelo, Fiesole or the surrounding hills, an electric bike makes the climbs effortless and lets you cover far more ground in a day — ideal for combining the city with a countryside escape.

Favourite rides include the route from the Duomo across the Ponte Vecchio up to Piazzale Michelangelo for the classic panorama, the flat shaded paths of Cascine Park along the river, and the climb to Fiesole for Roman ruins and valley views. For a full day out, head into the Chianti hills with their vineyards and quiet white gravel roads (strade bianche).

In high season (spring to early autumn) the best bikes and e-bikes sell out quickly, so booking ahead is strongly recommended. On Lokki you can reserve your bike online before you arrive, choose your dates and size, and skip the queues — your bike is ready the moment you reach the shop.
