In the event of crowds, cyclists must dismount from their bicycle and walk. Click this link for further information.

A cyclable way is made up of different types of road (cycle lane, 30 streets, 20 streets or single-surface streets) which provide continuity to cycle routes, whichever way they cross the city. They are vertical and horizontal routes across the city that make it easier to cycle round. Click this link for further information.
A ZAB is a space in front of the stop line for motor vehicles which is designed to make it easier for bicycles to turn at certain crossroads. It makes waiting safer and gives priority to cyclists when the traffic light turns green.
To inform the City Council that a cycle lane is not in good condition (faded paint, separators out of place, potholes in the surface, etc.) you just have to fill in this form.
In the event of a theft, a report must be submitted to the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalan police). It is always best if you keep your receipt and a picture of the chassis number of your bicycle. We also recommend that you register your bicycle, to help to locate it in the event of loss, robbery or removal. This can be done at Barcelona Serveis Municipals offices from November 12.
No, it is not. In Barcelona bicycles can travel on the road, in cycle lanes, 30 zones or specially adapted zones. However, for greater safety, we recommend using the cycle lanes and the cyclable ways and avoiding roads in the basic network. On the other hand, if there is cycling infrastructure on the road, you cannot travel on the pavement. Click this link for further information.
