Moving around Toulouse by bike

If you prefer to move around by bike, bear in mind that Toulouse offers many possibilities thanks to VélôToulouse and associations dedicated to cycling. Some services can be centralised in the Pastel card managed by Tisséo which is used for public transports as well.

VélôToulouse

VélôToulouse provides Toulouse residents self-service bicycles at various stations in Toulouse. Subscriptions can be monthly or annual. The principle is simple. All you need to do is to have a Tisséo Pastel card or a student card (MUT card) and credit your account directly online.

Associations dedicated to cycling

The association “Le Zinc” on the Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier campus offers used bikes, or helps you repair yours!
