About citybikewien.at

Our core tools are built for decision-making before and during your stay. The stations map shows real-time bike and dock availability across Vienna using the public GBFS feed from nextbike. The rentals section maps independent bike shops and hire points sourced from OpenStreetMap, with filters for e-bikes, child seats and city-centre locations.

The routes hub lists curated day rides—from the Donaukanal and Donauinsel to the Ring, Kahlenberg and Heuriger hills—with distance, difficulty and sight notes. The guides index bundles more than 55 articles on WienMobil Rad, pricing, safety, the Donauradweg, family cycling and neighbourhood tips. District pages under /bezirk summarise how each of Vienna's 23 Bezirke feels on two wheels. A cycling weather widget uses Open-Meteo forecasts so you can plan drier windows.

citybikewien.at is an independent cycling website for Vienna. We are not the former Citybike Wien operator or WienMobil Rad / nextbike—we do not run bike-sharing, sell bikes or take bookings for hire rides.

We publish editorial information so you can compare stations, shops, routes and rules yourself. Content comes from public operator information, open APIs, on-the-ground checks and reader feedback. Legal details are in the imprint; corrections to hallo@my-vienna.info.

Tourists typically combine short WienMobil Rad trips with one full day on a rented bike for longer loops, or book a guided tour for orientation. Our price comparison and WienMobil Rad guide explain when sharing beats a shop day rate (and vice versa). Residents use the live map for daily availability, district pages for neighbourhood routing and guides on rules, parking and seasonal detours.

Whether you have two hours between meetings or a long weekend, start from the homepage hubs—stations, rentals, routes, guides—or the cycling-in-Vienna pillar for a structured overview.

Station availability comes from the official GBFS endpoint published by nextbike for WienMobil Rad. Shop and route geometry rely on OpenStreetMap contributors under ODbL; we do not claim completeness for every hire desk in the region. Weather summaries use the Open-Meteo API. We do not sell personal data or run advertising trackers; see our privacy policy for hosting and analytics details.

Static guides carry visible update notes where facts are time-sensitive (tariffs, app flows). Live map data refreshes automatically. If you spot an error—a closed shop, wrong tariff figure or broken link—email hallo@my-vienna.info or use the contact details in our imprint. We review corrections as quickly as practical but cannot provide emergency or booking support.

Many people still search for "Citybike Wien" or "Citybike Vienna". That was the name of Vienna's earlier municipal bike-sharing system, operated commercially until regular service ended on 31 March 2022. It was replaced by WienMobil Rad (nextbike). We are not Gewista, JCDecaux, Bank Austria or the current operator—we reuse the citybikewien.at domain only as an independent signpost so cyclists land on current information: WienMobil Rad today, plus shops, routes and guides. For a concise summary of the switch, see our WienMobil Rad guide; this About page is about our site, not a history of the old scheme.

Questions about this website, licensing or corrections: hallo@my-vienna.info (also listed in the imprint). Issues with an active rental, payment or damaged bike on WienMobil Rad must go to the operator via the nextbike / WienMobil Rad app and helpline—we cannot unlock bikes or refund rides.
