The Experience

"Which one handles the coastal road better?" That's the question you're asking the staff at Strada Vallisa 81, in Bari's old town, a few steps from Mercantile Square. They've got city bikes for adults and kids aged seven and up, tandem bikes if you're traveling as a pair, and trailers if you're bringing a child along. The brands are Italian — Elios and Lombardo — and the rental shop opens every day from 10am to 7pm, so you can roll out whenever the light is right or the crowds thin.

The whole point here is freedom. You pick your route: along the Adriatic coast, through the countryside between towns, or into the smaller cities of Apulia that most visitors miss because they're stuck on a bus schedule. The staff will suggest places and events worth the detour, but the pedaling is yours. You get a helmet, a lock, lights, and a place to stash your bag while you're out, so you're not carrying everything on your back. If you need to leave the bike somewhere for an hour or two, there's luggage storage at the shop. WiFi is free, which means you can check the weather or look up a restaurant without burning through data.

You'll need a valid ID to rent — they keep a copy on file — and a 50-euro deposit per bike. That's refundable when you bring it back. If you've got kids, they ride with you; specialized infant seats are available if you ask ahead. The rental works on a voucher system, so you can show up with a paper copy or pull it up on your phone. Public transport is nearby if you want to skip the bike for a leg of the day, though most people don't once they get rolling.
