About trips around the city

Citizens and guests of the capital will be able to make city bike rides from the beginning of April.

This year city bikes will offer the cities of Helsinki, Vantaa and Espoo. By the beginning of the season, it is planned to open about 150 bicycle terminals in Helsinki and 107 terminals in Espoo. Coverage area will expand significantly in May with the commissioning of eighty-eight new bicycle terminals in the northern and eastern regions of the capital. After expansion, 345 terminals and 3,450 bicycles will be offered to those wishing to services in Espoo and Helsinki.

You can register with the Helsinki Region Public Transport Bicycle User System (HSL) on the website: kaupunkipyörät.hsl.fi

Due to changes in the fare system on public transport, the old, green, travel cards are replaced with blue HSL cards. Registered users of the city bike system, who paid for their use with HSL travel cards, should update the data on the page of the city bike Internet service.

The bikes will be received and returned to the terminals using the HSL travel card or the HSL mobile app. In Vantaa, another operating system will be used for this service, so it will be impossible to receive and return Vantaa city bicycles in other cities of the capital region.
