We could not find a bike shop that was open .We needed to be able to lock our bikes up while in the city .We saw the bike stations and thought it would be fun .We wanted to bike to return to our first location .
Why did we decide to rent bikes ?
We did n't have to search around for a bike shop because the city has bike stations everywhere . It takes a few minutes to set up an account using your credit card at a kiosk which is beside the bikes , then you 're ready to go . It worked out to be one Euro ( about $ 1.60 CDN$ ) a day to rent a bike - cheap as chips!These bike stations were everywhere . Once you were done with them , park them in the locking stand , and you can put them in any station - no need to return it from where you took it .
