Bike rented for a very long ride, staff really attentive! Highly recommended for those visiting Strasbourg.Alexandre, France★★★★★Google · Aug 2026Amazing service and great bikes for exploring the city and further! Hiring is simple and the VéloRouge team was brilliant — rain was forecast and they gave me a poncho. 10/10, would 100% rent here again.Roseanna★★★★★Google · Aug 2026The main advantage of VéloRouge is the excellent, comprehensive service: almost-new bikes, fully equipped (phone holder, helmet, lock…). The staff are very friendly — they even let me return the bike well after closing to finish my tour.Johannes★★★★★Google · Aug 2026What a lovely company!

Self-guided bike routes around Strasbourg

Our favourite itineraries, mapped on komoot so you can follow them turn by turn on your phone. Rent the bike, we hand you the helmet, lock and map — the route is already waiting.

Cultural Circuit — City & Countryside

47.5 km · Moderate

A 47 km loop that threads through Strasbourg's UNESCO core — La Petite France, Grande Île and the Canal de la Bruche — then opens into quiet farmland. Best for first-timers who want the city's highlights and a breath of countryside on one ride.

Canal Loop around Strasbourg

67.1 km · Moderate

A 67 km loop on towpaths and quiet lanes along the Rhône–Rhine and Marne–Rhine canals — flat, shaded and almost entirely traffic-free. Easy on an e-bike in a full day, and the natural way out towards the vineyards.

Robertsau Forest & Rhine Loop

38.6 km · Moderate

A 38 km loop to the north of Strasbourg, mixing riverside riding along the Rhine with the cool forest paths of the Robertsau massif. Mostly flat with minimal elevation, it's the best half-day escape for nature lovers.

EuroVelo 5: Strasbourg to Colmar

107 km · Hard

A 107 km ride along the EuroVelo 5 via the Alsace wine route, from Strasbourg to Colmar — curated by the Agence Régionale du Tourisme Grand Est. Mostly paved and suitable for all skill levels, with 580 m of elevation. On a VéloRouge e-bike it becomes a very full day; most riders prefer to split it into two stages.
