Barcelona is mostly a flat city whose sunny weather invites locals and visitors on a good bicycle ride. More than giving you a pleasurable moment, a bicycle can prove to be your best ally in a city as busy as Barcelona.
Using a bicycle to go where you need to be every day will also greatly improve your health, getting your heart pumping, the blood flowing, the muscles moving and helping to flush the toxins out.
If you are considering adopting a bicycle during your stay in Barcelona as your official means of transportation, have a look at this article of ShBarcelona about buying it second-hand in Barcelona.

Thanks Laye,
Your information was useful. I went to the address you provided “calle nou de sant francesc 25”in gótico. I bought a bike for 80 € with a locker. Better than renting a bike for 50 - 70 € a week.
Thanks, Drey
