Getting around Toulouse by bike
Cycling is a very practical and eco-friendly way to get around Toulouse. More than 600km of cycling facilities and 300km of cycle paths allow both experienced and novice cyclists to get around in complete safety.
Toulouse is an ideal destination for those who like to take the time to cycle around. Discover the historic streets of the city centre or enjoy the banks of the Garonne or the Canal du Midi along the old towpath, cross the Pont-Neuf...the city reveals itself with each turn of the wheel. Don't worry if you’re not very fit: most of our cycle paths are easy to ride. And if you want to try a route with a bit more of an incline, you can hire an electric bike very easily.
