Bike rental near Mexikoplatz
Mexikoplatz sits at the confluence of the Danube canal system and the Alte Donau recreational lake, with boat clubs and the Reichsbrücke road bridge overhead. Cyclists cross between Donauinsel paths and Alte Donau circumnavigation routes here; the square itself is traffic-calmed but busy on summer Sundays. WienMobil Rad appears on both sides of the water; the spot is a natural rest point on alte-donau-loop rides.
