BIKE RENTAL
Firstly, PEDAL POWER delivers and collects the bikes. You can start your exploring directly from where you are staying. Secondly, you are provided with high quality 21 gear bikes. Our touring bikes are ideal to comfortably and safely experience Vienna.
You are able to easily find your way around the city. We have put together tour descriptions and a special map, with the routes drawn in, and the sights numbered. These are provided free of charge.
Of course, bikes can also be picked up directly from the PEDAL POWER office. Our location on the U1 metro, near Prater (the largest park in Vienna) and the Danube Island bike paths makes it a perfect place to start tours - and especially safe for children.
We also offer a daily guided bike tour. We meet in front of the Ferris Wheel and in 3 unforgettable hours you see more of Vienna up close than others see in 3 days.
For children less than 125 cm (about 6 yrs old) we have trailer bikes that attach to the parent's bike, and/or child seats. We recommend helmets for all children. We offer a 10% discount for families.
All bikes will be delivered in the best operating condition. Bikes are fitted with locks, use them! You are liable if the bike or any other equipment is stolen or damaged.

Ringstraße, Hundertwasserhaus Inner City
What is the "Ringstraße"? It is the wide boulevard built in the 19th century when the city wall surrounding Vienna was torn down. What today is the 1st district or Inner City of Vienna was inside that wall.
This tour takes you around the Ringstraße and through the center of old Vienna.
Some of the highlights are: the State Opera, Hundertwasserhaus, Johann Strauß Monument in the City Park, the Hofburg - the winter residence of the Habsburgs (the family that ruled Vienna and half of Europe for over 600 years), Spanish Riding School, the Rathaus (town hall), and - of course - St. Stephan's Cathedral, Vienna's most famous landmark.
Length: 3 - 4 hours, 15 km
Klosterneuburg / Danube Island Tour
Ready to combine nature and culture? This tour does!
You ride along the banks of the Danube, have a beautiful view of the Vienna Woods, visit the north half of the Danube Island (Vienna's 20 kilometer long sport and leisuretime paradise), cross the Danube by ferry or bridge and visit the famous monastery and Verdun Altar in the medieval town of Klosterneuburg
On the way back to Vienna enjoy a glass of wine and local food in one of the "Heurigen" or wine taverns nestled among the vineyards of the Vienna Woods.
Length: 3 - 5 hours, 40 km
Music and Central Cemetery Tour
Vienna is synonymous with music. This tour is actually many tours in one. You choose which composers interest you and visit the most important places.
For example: one of Mozart's apartments, Beethoven memorial place, now a museum in beautiful Heiligenstadt, or the graves in the Central Cemetery of the great composers that have called Vienna their home, or the apartment where Johann Strauß lived the last years of his life, also a museum, and, of course, museums dedicated to Joseph Haydn and Franz Schubert. Length: To visit all - one full day.
Danube Island / Heurigen-Tour
Heurigen = small tavern, where the "new" wine can be savored.
For those who want to see something typically Viennese, have a hilltop view of the city and taste "real" Viennese wine, plan a day for this tour. You have an easy ride along the Danube to some vineyards on a small hill just outside of Vienna. No one who has done this tour has been disappointed.
Length: 3 - 4 hours, 25 km
Danube National Park / Lobau-Tour
Want to get away from the city? Seen enough churches? This tour takes you downriver to one of the last big untouched wetland areas in Europe, the recently declared Danube National Park.
If it is a nice day you can swim in an arm of the Danube, or just ride, take a picnic lunch, and re-charge for the rest of your European tour. Some say it looks like East Africa but without the lions!
Length: 3 - 4 hours, 25 km
