Barcelona is a magical city , with tons of attractions, monuments, and famous buildings to visit within a close distance from each other. This is what makes it perfect for cycling 

You can replace the heat and crowds in the metro for the feeling of wind in your face while admiring the urban views and beautiful buildings Barcelona has to offer. This is the best way to connect to a new place on a deeper level.

The Barcelona City Council has been trying to encourage cycling  and they have been doing so by expanding and improving cycling infrastructures in Catalonia's capital.
Now a days cycling lanes connect the entire city, making it much easier and less risky for bikers to ride around town.
