Bicing bike sharing reaches 100m trips since 2019

Barcelona's public bicycle-sharing system, Bicing, has reached the 100 million trips threshold since the new service started in 2019, becoming a "worldwide reference," a statement shared by the city council reads.

There are 8,000 bicycles and over 164,000 subscribers, who register around 1.5 million trips each month. Only during the first six months of 2025, there have been 7% more subscribers than the same period last year.

The city council shared figures showing that each bike makes an average of 7.1 daily trips, and the system has traveled more than 47 million kilometers overall by the end of the year.

The public service, with memberships starting at €35 annually, is Europe's second public system in terms of overall number of trips, just below Paris.

Out of the 8,000 bikes, 5,000 of them are electric and represent 8 out of 10 Bicing trips.

"Reaching the 100 million trips confirms that Bicing is already part of the daily life of Barcelona residents," Laia Bonet, deputy mayor, said in a statement.

Bicing's new milestone is "a clear example that the bicycle-sharing system is a real, daily, and sustainable alternative that improves the city's connections and offers a faster, healthier, and environmentally friendly mobility," she added.

Recently, the service added 30 new stations and will add more in 2026, for a total of 74 new sites to dock the bikes. 

Bicing started operations in 2007, working 24 hours from Monday to Sunday.
