Want to discover the Monts du Lyonnais in a different way? Renting a bike from €10 per day opens the door to an area rich in green panoramas and winding roads. With an electric bike or mountain bike at your disposal, the hills will no longer be an obstacle but an invitation to marvel.

In spring and summer, temperatures hover around 20°C, ideal for long rides without fear of excessive heat. In autumn, the forests take on golden and red hues, while in winter, the climate remains relatively mild, although you'll need a light jacket to cope with the morning chill. Rain showers are rare at any time of year, but possible: a compact raincoat will easily find its way into your bag.

There's no shortage of itineraries. Just a few kilometers from the town center, take the greenway along the Val d'Azergues to La Tour-de-Salvagny before heading for Villefranche-sur-Saône. More sporty? Take to the mountain bike trails along the crests, which offer breathtaking views of Lyon and the Alps in the distance. Lovers of the terroir will appreciate stopping off in Beaujolais wine-growing villages such as Oingt or Villié-Morgon, accessible via pretty little country roads.

For a more urban excursion, a 20 km ride takes you to the heart of Lyon via safe cycle paths. With an electric bike, the effort is gentle and allows you to take full advantage of the banks of the Rhône and the traboules of Vieux-Lyon. From there, you can push on to Villeurbanne or link up with the Presqu'île in less than an hour.

On the practical side, don't forget your helmet and a water bottle: water is precious when you're riding uphill. Always check tire pressure and battery life before setting off. Remember to take a snack with you on longer tours, and to obey local road signs. And don't forget to pack a map or GPS app so you can discover the region's hidden treasures without getting lost.
