City bikes

Easy. Cheap. Carefree.

City bikes offer a fast way to move around during both free time and on business trips. 

The 2024 city bike season will bring a smoother cycling experience. Several major improvements have been made to the wheels:

  • The all-new Tampere City Bikes app
  • New locks
  • 113 city bike stations 
  • As a new service, companies can also order city bikes for their employees.

Download the app

For use, you need the renewed Tampereen kaupunkipyörät application. The new app does not update automatically, so you will need to download it again, even if you have last season's app downloaded on your phone.
