Is Barcelona a good biking city?

You bet it is! Barcelona is an absolute gem for cyclists, thanks to its flat terrain, pleasant climate, and an impressive network of bike paths that spans over 200 kilometers. Whether you’re a novice biker or a seasoned cyclist, you’ll find the city inviting with its biking-friendly streets and scenic routes. 

Barcelona has invested significantly in making itself a cyclist-friendly city, and the number of people cycling daily is testimony to that. To top it off, you’ll find many places in Barcelona offering bike rentals , making it even easier for tourists to join the cycling fun.

Is it easy to bike around Barcelona?

Biking around Barcelona is incredibly easy! The city’s layout is quite straightforward, and the cycling lanes are clearly marked, ensuring a seamless ride even for first-time visitors. Moreover, Barcelona is reasonably flat, with only a few hilly areas, making it accessible for all fitness levels. 

Barcelona also has a public bike-sharing program known as Bicing, which is perfect for short trips around the city. However, do note that this service is mainly designed for residents, and tourists might need to rely on traditional bike rentals.

Is it safe to cycle in Barcelona?

It’s very safe to cycle in Barcelona! The city takes the safety of cyclists seriously, with separated bike lanes and traffic-calming measures in place throughout the city. Plus, the local culture is respectful towards cyclists, which adds another layer of security. 

Of course, just like anywhere else, it’s important to follow road safety rules, use hand signals, wear a helmet, and stay alert. This includes for pedestrians, who aren’t always perfect at checking for bikes before crossing bike paths

Remember as well that bike theft can be an issue in Barcelona, so always lock up your bike securely when you’re not using it.

Where can I bike ride in Barcelona?

There’s no shortage of fantastic places to bike ride in Barcelona! From the charming old streets of the Gothic Quarter to the sunny beachside paths of Barceloneta, the options are plentiful. The Parc de la Ciutadella is a great starting point for any bike tour, with beautiful scenery and plenty of paths. 

For a more extended ride, you can cycle up Montjuïc Hill for a breathtaking view of the city. If you want a break from urban life, consider taking a bike ride to Collserola Natural Park, a lush green oasis just outside the city. 

No matter what your preference, there’s a bike path in Barcelona that’s perfect for you!

Can tourists rent bikes in Barcelona?

Yes, tourists can definitely rent bikes in Barcelona, and it’s a popular way to explore the city! There are numerous bike rental shops scattered throughout the city, offering a wide variety of options from traditional bikes to electric bikes. 

You can usually rent a bike for a few hours, a whole day, or even several days depending on your needs. In addition to standalone bike rental shops, tour operators will provide bikes as part of guided or self-guided bike tours. 

It’s a flexible, eco-friendly, and fun way to discover Barcelona at your own pace!

Do you have to wear a helmet on a bike in Barcelona?

Legally speaking, helmets are only mandatory for cyclists under 16 years old in urban areas, but they are highly recommended for all riders regardless of age. When you’re biking outside of urban areas and on interurban roads, the law requires that all cyclists wear a helmet. 

Despite the legal aspect, wearing a helmet is always a smart choice as it provides essential protection and can prevent serious injuries in case of an accident. Most bike rental shops in Barcelona will provide you with a helmet when you rent a bike.

Can you bike on La Rambla?

Technically, yes, you can bike on La Rambla, but it’s not recommended due to the heavy pedestrian traffic. La Rambla is one of the busiest pedestrian areas in Barcelona, and navigating it on a bike can be challenging and stressful. 

If you must pass through La Rambla, it’s better to walk your bike through the crowd to avoid accidents. 

There are many other biking-friendly routes nearby that are safer and more enjoyable, such as the beautiful seafront promenade in Barceloneta or the wide avenues of Eixample.

Can you cycle on the pavement in Barcelona?

In Barcelona, cycling on the pavement is generally not allowed unless the pavement is wider than five meters and the pedestrian flow is low. Cyclists are encouraged to use bike lanes and shared spaces instead. 

If the pavement is the only option and it meets the above conditions, cyclists should ride at a walking pace and always give priority to pedestrians. 

Barcelona has an extensive network of bike lanes and routes designed specifically for cyclists, so you’ll often find it unnecessary and less convenient to cycle on the pavement. Understanding and respecting these rules helps ensure a safe and enjoyable cycling experience for everyone in the city.

Biking Outside Barcelona

With a host of highly-rated tour operators in town, balmy weather and an extensive network of bike paths, exploring Barcelona on two wheels is a LOT of fun ! Here’s everything you need to know to get pedalling…

Why Explore by Bicycle?

A bike tour is a great way to see Barcelona, and has numerous advantages over  traditional walking tours . The most obvious is that being on a bicycle enables you to see much more of the city, but those of you who like a little exercise will also appreciate the chance to burn off a couple more calories and keep the oxygen flowing to the brain as your knowledgeable guide regales you with fascinating histories and amusing anecdotes.

The chance to rattle around Barcelona on two wheels will also make you feel a little more independent (and dare we say ‘cool’) than those who’ve hopped on the nearest tourist bus

The chance to rattle around Barcelona on two wheels will also make you feel a little more independent (and dare we say ‘cool’) than those who’ve hopped on the nearest tourist bus – and you can even maintain the moral high ground on environmental friendliness. There’s no carbon emissions generated from pedal power.

The fact that Barcelona is (with the exception of  the odd mountain ) an incredibly flat city with over 300km of bike paths (and more planned) should provide additional incentive to get in the saddle and discover the town’s best attractions .

8 Advantages of Exploring by Bike

  • Barcelona’s warm & dry weather is perfect for biking
  • It’s not strenuous, but still a good work out
  • You can fit in many more sights than on a walking tour…
  • But you are more independent than on a bus / coach tour!
  • Barcelona has 300km+ of cycling paths and many car-free zones
  • The centre of the city is mostly flat (and the hilly tours you can do on an Electric Bicycle!)
  • It’s an environmentally friendly way of seeing the city
  • Bicycle tours tend to be very affordable !

Most of Barcelona’s numerous bike tour companies offer both private tours and group excursions with a guide. As well as catch-all routes that take in the likes of  La Sagrada Familia ,  Barceloneta Beach  and  La Rambla  in one circuit, you’ll also find some exciting alternative tours on offer, concentrating on different themes (like  eating tapas  or football) or taking you to less-heralded, but equally fascinating, districts.

Their friendly guides are all Barna locals, with an eye for the fascinating details and stories that others might miss, and a nose for adventure. You won’t get a history lesson on Gaudi, but you might learn a little bit about Catalan independence and see sides of the city that most tourists simply don’t know about, as you spend a unique afternoon uncovering Barcelona’s secrets. There is no fixed itinerary (each guide shows you their personal Barcelona highlights!), but hidden squares, city beaches, side streets, chocolate and  churros , flea markets and forgotten cemeteries are just a few delights you might experience. A simply great tour for people who don’t like to be tourists.

The former is the perfect introduction to the Catalan capital, as it calls by all the most breathtaking sights of the city, such La Sagrada Familia, the Gaudi mansions, and the famous palm tree-lined Barceloneta beach. On this tour you also cross over Montjuic hill, and see the Olympic Stadium, Calatrava’s Needle, the Joan Miro Foundation and several sensational view points – perfect for a few selfies. The more chilled Off The Beaten Track Tour meanwhile is ideal for a relaxed afternoon of cycling and alternative exploring and can be done on a pedal or electric bicycle. Both tours can be combined with a sailing trip from the bike store’s Port Olimpic base! oceanbikesbarcelona.com

So there you have it… plenty of great options to choose from, and no excuses to not get in the saddle. And while you don’t have to be Sir Bradley Wiggins to take a bike tour (my mum has joined me on a couple of the above!), and many tours support young children, basic cycling competence is required. In other words, if you’ve never ridden a bike before, check out our guide to the best walking tours instead!

For a little more on what to bring, plus a couple of suggestion for cycling tours that take you out of the city, keep reading…

What Should I Bring?

Nothing too bad will happen if you rock up to a bicycle tour with just the shirt on your back (and some shorts hopefully), but this is what a boy scout would bring, in order to be totally prepared for a few hours in the saddle:

  • Sunscreen. Be sure to apply plenty to the back of neck, forearms and face.
  • Sunglasses. The light in Barcelona can be oh so bright… you’ll get a headache if you forget these.
  • Sensible footwear. Flip flops on bikes are rarely a good idea.
  • Bottle of water. You’re going to need to rehydrate, possibly quite regularly if it’s scorchio outside.
  • Second layer. Check the weather forecast before you set off, as you might appreciate having a light rain jacket, or sweater, for those times when the legendary local climate lets us down.
  • Camera. Probably best not to pack your DSLR… too clunky and not great way to carry it on a bike. But you’ll want to have a camera of some sort handy for when you stop outside one of Gaudi’s masterpieces, a cool piece of street art or are cruising back to the city via the beach. Your phone or a point of shoot should prove perfect.
  • Address of the tour meeting point. Because there’s always one who doesn’t…
  • Cash. Some pocket change for snacks and souvenirs (some tours stop via cool stores) might come in handy.
  • Backpack. I’d recommend a double shoulder strapped bag as these are much more stable when you’re riding a bike.
  • Lip balm. The Barcelona Life team have very sensitive lips, ok!?

Cycling Outside The City

If you’re a serious cyclist craving some hardcore thigh burn, then check out our  guide to cycling and mountain biking in Catalonia . There’s some amazing countryside to be discovered, whether you’re interested in a day trip or a longer lycra-clad excursion.

For people with normal-sized thighs and fitness levels, there are still a couple of really fun and accessible bike rides that get you out of the city. As a bonus, they all seem to involve wine!

Keep reading below for some fun suggestions:

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ll wrap up this post with the answers to your FAQs… and if there’s something we haven’t covered in this article, please ask us in the comments section and we’ll do our best to help!

Is Barcelona good for biking?

Barcelona is the perfect city for cycling, as the weather is warm and dry most of the time, the centre of the city is totally flat, and there are over 300 kms of dedicated bike paths.

Which are the best bike tour companies operating in Barcelona?

Steel Donkey Bike Tours are perhaps the best local Barcelona tour operator, while international companies like Baja Bikes and Fat Tires also have a strong presence in the city. Lovers of architecture might look at Gaudi Bike Tours.

Does Barcelona have a public bike sharing system?

Yes, Barcelona launched a city bike share scheme called Bicing in 2007. As of 2022, there are over 500 Bicing stations. Unfortunately it is NOT available for tourists to use, as you need to be city resident to obtain a Bicing card.

Do I need to wear a helmet when cycling in Barcelona?

By law you are not required to wear a helmet when cycling within the city limits. Naturally, if you don't know the local roads and traffic rules, it can make sense to use one. Most bike rental and tour companies will be able to offer you one for free when you use their services.

More Local Tips!

Confession time! I’ve been blogging about Barcelona since way back in 2009… in other words, apart from quite a few more grey hair since arriving in the city, I’ve got plenty more great advice for you, whether you want to work out which Gaudi buildings to visit , what is the best day trip to go on , or which is the best value Barcelona Card . Follow the links to articles with more of my local tips!

I am blind and we require a tandem bike to rent. Are there Tandem bikes available to rent?

be bike tours barcelona

Hi Teresa, yes it looks like several bike rental firms have them. Just doing a Google now for you and it seems Happy Rental Bike have them for example: https://happyrentalbike.com/barcelona/tandem-bike-rental/

' src=

Could you recommend a route if we wanted to do a free-wheel bike tour of these places? And are there places to lock your bikes if we want to go inside somewhere?

One advantage of a bike tour is the guide usually knows the best bike paths etc. to get around, but it is also fun to go free-wheeling. Specific routes I don’t have saved, but I’d try to get out of the Old Town that is bit too crowded with pedestrians to be comfortable for bikes. Poblenou is nice for cycling, although there are fewer obvious sights to see. Eixample is good if you stick to the bike paths and avoid the traffic.

Just found your site- we arrive soon and will be back on line with you after we land! Love the bike tour recommendations – Boston and Amsterdam were epic on 2 wheels – can’t wait to Bike Barna. And, true confession, as we will be in town for St. Pats- the Irish Bar web search got me to your site. Hasta Luego!

You might ask yourself:

Well, first of all, biking improves well-being, boosts endorphins and stimulates your mind. The culinary delights around Barcelona are a pleasure, but it is certainly easy to pack on the kilos when you travel.

Biking burns calories and promotes weight loss while also leaving you feeling energized for your trip.

Burn off that large paella you had the night before with a few hours of cycling through the magical neighborhoods of Barcelona.

Exercise like cycling rushes blood to your brain, making your mind sharper and ready for new information. This is a great benefit, as you learn many new facts about the city you are exploring.

Biking is also an environmentally friendly way to see any city!

But why should you try a Barcelona bike tour?

There are windy streets and hidden gems offered by this vibrant city that you can´t see by bus or car.

Professional guides will explain to you what you are seeing, making these Barcelona bike tours that much more impactful. Soak up the sun and their expertise as you glide through the city on two wheels.

Now that we have covered the benefits of cycling, let´s dive into the various options in Barcelona.

be bike tours barcelona

There are various Barcelona bike tours, so choosing can be overwhelming.

This guide is meant to help you choose the right Barcelona bike tour that match your interests and desires, making your trip to Barcelona stress-free and filled with lasting memories.

We present our 7 favorite Barcelona bike tours with a short description of each. We are rating them on the following benchmarks:

The quality of the itinerary (and guides), family-friendliness, and the surprise or ‘wow factor’ of the tours .

So sit back, relax and enjoy our advice and expertise as we now kick-off our top picks starting with a Quick Comparison Breakdown:

So since this is done, let’s dig real deep into those tours:

Gaudi created so many unmissable sights in Barcelona – and on the Gaudi UNESCO Highlights Tour you’ll see ALL of his most famous buildings in a small-group setting.

After visiting La Cascada fountain in Parc de la Ciutadella to learn about the architect’s early life, you’ll continue up, past the Arc de Triomf, to the simply unbelievable La Sagrada Familia. Gaudi’s crowning glory, La Sagrada Familia will be the tallest church in the world when it’s finished (172.5 metres) and each of its façades is packed with amazing imagery and stories – your guide will share some of the best!

Next you will check out one of Gaudi’s early works, the Casa Vicens. Oft-overlooked by other tours, this art nouveau masterpiece draws on Spain’s Arabic influences to create a colourful and playful mansion and one of the signature pieces of Catalan Modernisme.

After stopping on a picturesque plaza for refreshments, you’ll make your way to the epic Passeig de Gracia boulevard, where the grandiose mansions of La Pedrera (a building with no straight lines!) and Casa Batllo (an allegory of Gaudi’s proud Catalan roots), stand tall. Gaudi was at his creative peak at this point of his career.

There’s more to come, as you cycle down Las Ramblas and onto a small side street leading to the hospital where Gaudi died. The hospital’s pleasant courtyard is a serene place to contemplate the architect’s legacy.

Gaudi Bike Tours are unique because their 4-hr duration allows longer to dive into the life and legacy of Barcelona’s most famous scion. Meanwhile, the small-group setting and chance to take a break on a cafe terrace make exploring by bike fun and relaxed.

Traveler´s checklist:

Itinerary: It would be hard to beat this itinerary, especially if this is your first time in Barcelona. Gaudi’s sights are joined by some of the city’s most beautiful streets, so you’ll finish having seen the best of the Catalan capital. 5/5.

Family Friendly: The tour works well for families as it follows mostly bike paths and children up to the age of 6 can travel in a child seat, with their parent. For the best experience a private tour allows the guide to match the pace and itinerary to your family’s needs. 4/5.

Wow-Factor: On this tour you’re going to see virtually all of Barcelona’s most spectacular buildings, along with some stunning squares and parks. 5/5.

Duration: 4 hours.

Price and tour options: The price is 39€. It starts at 10:00 am and 3:00 pm every day. The price includes the bike, helmet (optional) and guide. You can upgrade to an e-bike for just 10€ extra.

BCN Travel rating: 4.7/5

2. Steel Donkey Bike Tour s

Steel Donkey Bike Tours are in a league of their own.

Being the first alternative bike tour in Barcelona you will never experience the same tour twice. The guides take you off the beaten path, where you will discover veiled jewels in Barcelona.

Skip touristy spots like Sagrada Familia that you have already seen and get a truly authentic feeling of the local culture. The destinations vary depending on your tour guide, therefore you could go on multiple Steel Donkey Bike Tours and have completely different experiences.

It is likely you will explore neighborhoods that were not on your radar or in your travel books while enjoying your Barcelona bike tour. Art, culture, architecture, and the expertise of your guide create a beautiful experience for any traveler.

While exploring the markets or where you can see the most stunning street art, learn about traditional Catalan history as well as how a neighborhood was shaped through time.

Halfway through the Barcelona bike tour, you will take a break with a drink and snack at a local café. Cozy groups of no more than eight embark on this bike trip, adding a more personalized feeling than larger tour groups. The guides are all locals and they are simply showing you their city with their eyes.

Itinerary: Steel Donkeys have a unique USP… the guides choose their own itineraries! That means you don’t get burnt out guides reciting the same tired facts. You get a friend for the morning, showing you their Barcelona! 5/5.

Family Friendly: Yes, the leisurely pace of this trip is appropriate for the whole family. Children’s bikes are available as well as baby seats & tandems.   4/5.

Wow-factor: Steel Donkeys tour tend to be packed with surprises and secret places, making their tours some of the most original and authentic. 4/5.

Duration: 4 hours

Price and tour options: 39€ on a typical city bike, 49€ on an e-bike . Every day at 10.00 am and 3:00 pm

How it compares to our list: This tour offers flexible departures. If you would like to request a different time with your private group or request a time that is not listed on the website, simply email the company.

BCN Travel rating: 4.3/5

Price and tour options: €49 – the tour runs daily at 10:00am.

Biking In Barcelona 2

Important information to note: Bicing is designed for locals who have either a Spanish identity card or a N.I.E. which is the card received by foreigners living in Cataluña. So if you don’t have either one, this is not an option for you.

On a budget or want the freedom of being your own guide?

Bicing is a great option for you.

In 2007, Barcelona inaugurated Bicing, which is a bicycle sharing system modeled after similar systems in other European cities. Bicing bicycles are easy to spot around the city. There are many stations where they are parked in a line on bike racks.

The bikes are red and white; therefore, they are unmissable! Users can pick up and drop off the bikes at any of the 421 stations throughout the city. The Bicing app allows you to plan your routes, figure out the best place to pick up the bikes depending on where they are available, and mark your favorite stations.

You can design your own bike tour for you and your friends, giving you more freedom and independence to explore. Click here for some great example routes. When you´re done, simply drop the bike off at one of the stations and be on your way.

Itinerary: You are completely independent with this option, this is great for flexibility, although you are bound to the bike stations and especially in summer full stations in the city centre and on the beach can create some hassle. 3/5.

Family Friendly: Bicing is not a family-friendly option, as all of their bikes are the same size and there are no child seats. 1/5.

Wow-factor: It depends on what you make of it. A good choice if you know the city well, if you are new to Barcelona, finding your way around the city will be a bit of a challenge. 2/5.

Duration: You can ride for up to two hours straight on a bike, after that you have to check your bike out, but you can check right back in!

Price and tour options: The cost is 47€ per year

How it compares in our list: This is your tour in whatever way you choose. It is the ultimate freedom, as you can hop on the bike and explore the city on your own terms. Unlike the other tours in this article, you will not get the knowledge and expertise of a guide.

BCN Travel average rating: 2/5

Biking In Barcelona 4

This tour takes you towards Alta Alella, which is nestled in the protected Park of Serralada de Marina . The 90-minute journey is broken up with a seaside stop for some authentic Catalan vermouth. Enjoy the authentic taste while snapping photos of the sea crashing on the rocks.

Your final destination is a family-run organic winery. While you learn about the process of winemaking, take in the lovely scenery on the vineyard and soak up the fresh air outside of the city.

This particular vineyard boasts wine that is listed on the wine menus of some of the most prestigious restaurants worldwide. Presented to you by a professional sommelier, are three different wines, all evoking different taste sensations and smells.

After your delicious wine tasting experience, we will cycle for 10 minutes into the marina of El Masnou from where we will sail back to Barcelona on a 12 meter sailing yacht. Relax on the boat after your stimulating day full of adventure.

Our guide was entertaing and knowledgable and the pace was good for my kids and us adults. It was even a bit romantic when we got to sip on cava by the sunset at the beach.” Olivia, Viator

Late afternoon is a magical time to explore Barcelona, when the city is winding down, preparing to come alive again in the night.

These private small group bike tours from LivTours make the most of the peaceful early evening to show you around the city’s highlights.

You’ll get to experience the city like a local, on a bike tour from the Inner Harbor to Barceloneta Beach, Olympic Village, Arc de Triomf, Parc de la Ciutadella and El Born Market.

Explore with an expert guide who will share the history, stories and the best places to visit during your time in the city.

Round off your bike tour with tapas and a glass of sparkling cava.

Looking for a chilled-out way to tour the city? These small-group tours are definitely it. Avoid the midday heat and the bustle of the city with an evening bike tour.

Wrap it all up with some tapas snacks and a glass of cava by the sea front. What could be better?

Top bikes for both road and gravel!! and with the best possible service and flexibility.

Definitely a recommedation!

A group of friends from the US wanted to do a tour in northern Italy, and we found BCN Bike Tours via a friend of a friend. The pricing was so reasonable when compared to other “luxury” tours, i.e., all-inclusive, that we had concerns of cost cutting. The group had riders from all over the world.

I am in Barcelona for two weeks and prior to arriving, I had researched road bike tours. BCN Bike Tours got very good ratings, so I signed up for a day trip to Collserola and Juan was my guide for the 42 mile ride. A very good experience and I recommend this company.

With BCN Bike Tours you can climb the most mythical cycling. It is a high quality service providing all the support needed like: bike, mechanics, vans, food, hydration, hotels. All in a pleasant environment. They organize everything !!! You just need to ride and enjoy.

Bike tour through the Dolomite's and Alps of Italy. The crew from Barcelona bike tours did an excellent job of making this bike tour a very enjoyable experience with professional photographs! Accommodations, meals and tour support were also outstanding! Recommend them

Great quality bikes and amazing personal service. Juan was a great guide and super fan to ride with. He's got a ton of good recommendations too. Hope to come back soon!

Bike in Barcelona

What a fun tour, our guide Liliana was great. We had seen the major sites already so she made the tour specific to what we wanted, Electric bikes were so fun and we covered a lot of territory, Beach, street art, places we missed on our walks, All ending with a tasty drink and food!!

Attend Alfredo's Awesome E-Bike Tour of Barcelona!!!!

My friend & I signed up for Alfredo's e-bike tour of Barcelona as part of our planning before we started our amazing Mediterranean vacation but unfortunately my friend sprained her ankle a few days before our e-bike tour so she couldn't make the tour. 😭 I decided to attend the tour alone because it sounded fun & I needed the exercise after eating lots of pasta, bread, gelato & vino in Rome & Greece before the tour & I'm so glad that I did it! Alfredo is very knowledgeable about Barcelona's history & places & he took us to & thoroughly explained some amazing sights like the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila, La Barceloneta, David & Goliath, Gaudi's Fountain, The Kiss of Freedom Wall & many other places. Alfredo explained the history of each sight in a very clear & concise manner, was very patient in answering all of our questions & he even took many photos of me & another guy, Mark from NYC, who was also on the tour whenever we asked him to which we both really appreciated as it's always better to have someone else take your photo with an important monument rather than taking a selfie! The bike riding part of the tour was super fun & easy- Barcelona has alot of wonderful bike trails that are easy to ride on, the e-bikes worked well & could go fast & Alfredo was easy to follow & helpful. We ended the tour with some yummy potatoes bravas & sangria & other drinks at a cool little neighborhood bar / restaurant that Alfredo likes & I've been offered a refund for my friend's tour since she was unexpectedly injured & could not attend which we really appreciate. I highly recommend Alfredo's e-bike tour of Barcelona if you like to exercise, have fun & learn all at the same time!

Electric Bike Experience

Alfredo expertly guided us through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter and around the various sites of Barcelona. We stopped for many photo opportunities and the ride itself was easy peddling and very enjoyable. I would recommend this tour to family and friends!

Podium Sweep at Women's Tour of Flanders

Elisa Longo Borghini Wins Over Kasia Niewiadoma and Shirin van Anrooij

On a cold, rainy and dramatic day in Oudenaard, Lidl-Trek's Elisa Longo Borghini won her second Tour of Flanders in a tense sprint against Canyon//SRAM Racing's Kasia Niewiadoma and teammate Shirin van Anrooij. After a powerful van Anrooij attack with 20 km to go, Longo Borghini and Niewiadoma dropped the remaining contenders on the final climb to bridge up to the lead, and the three worked together until the finish line was in sight. All three women race SRAM RED eTap AXS and TIME pedals .

Kasia Niewiadoma and Elisa Longo Borghini race to the finish line at the 2024 Tour of Flanders

All three podium finishers race on SRAM RED eTap AXS groupsets and TIME XPRO  pedals with custom bottom plates in team colors. Each chose different gearing combinations for the unforgiving cobbled climbs of Flanders. Elisa, who finished on her spare bike after an early crash, raced on 52/39 chainrings and a Force 10-36 cassette on her Trek Madone. Kasia's Canyon Aeroad featured 48/35 rings and a 10-36 cassette, while Shirin selected 52/39 rings and a tighter 10-33 cassette.

Charli XCX Plots 2024 International ‘BRAT' Tour Dates

Charli XCX announced the international dates for her 2024 Brat tour on Monday (March 25), which will be a mix of live concerts and what she's dubbed "partygirl" events. The run will kick off with a set at Primavera Sound Barcelona on June 1, followed by shows in London, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Mexico City before winding down on June 22 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Just hours after announcing the dates, the singer noted on Instagram that all the shows were already sold out .

At press time Charli had not yet announced the release date for BRAT , her sixth full-length album, though she did recently reveal that it is out this summer, contains 15 songs and is 41:23 long. The follow-up to her 2022 album Crash has been advanced by the uptempo first single, "Von Dutch."

Speaking to Billboard at this year's 2024 Women in Music event, Charli said that BRAT is a club record meant to evoke the illegal London rave scene of the early 2000s where she started performing as a 14 and 15-year-old, produced from a tight collection of sounds to create "this unique minimalism that is very loud and bold."

She also said that the album is "very direct" eschewing "metaphor and flowery lyricism" for language that is closer to the way she talks to her friends in text messages. "This record is all the things I would talk about with my friends, said exactly how I would say them. It's in ways very aggressive and confrontational, but also very conversational and personal," she said. "And not in that boring way where artists are like, ‘This is my most personal record.' To me, it feels like listening to a conversation with a friend.

See the Brat tour announcement and dates below.

BRAT tour dates :

June 1 - Barcelona, Spain @ Primavera Sound Barcelona

June 7 - London, England @ Here at Outernet

June 11 - Queens, NY @ Knockdown Center

June 12 - Chicago, IL @ Radius

June 15 - Los Angeles, CA @ Shrine Expo Hall

June 19 - Mexico City, Mexico @ LooLoo Studio

June 22 - São Paulo, Brazil @ Zig Club
