Valencia is flat, with the old Turia riverbed as a green cycle route right across the city. To go further, to the beach or the suburbs, a folded bike travels with you on the bus and metro.
Bus (EMT) and metro (Metrovalencia)
On EMT buses each passenger may board with one folding bike, folded and held firmly for the whole ride. On Metrovalencia bikes may only use the surface sections on weekdays, unless they are folded.
By train (Renfe Cercanías)
A folding bike travels free on Renfe trains (except Avlo) when folded. Folded, a STRIDA measures approx. 113–115 × 51 × 23 cm.

Your employer and tax
In Spain we know of no national tax benefit for a bike through your job (October 2026). Under the new Sustainable Mobility Act (Ley 9/2025), companies with more than 200 employees must have a commuting plan in which cycling can play a part: ask your employer. Know a scheme? Let us know.
Which STRIDA suits Valencia?
Valencia is flat: any STRIDA does well. Along the Turia and out to Malvarrosa the SX with 18 inch wheels is the most comfortable; the LT and 5 QR+ fold the most compact for the bus. An oil-free belt does not rust in the sea breeze.

A STRIDA needs little maintenance: no chain to oil and a belt that lasts a long time. And what does need doing, you can mostly do yourself: the wheels are mounted on one side only, so you change a tyre without taking the wheel out of the frame, and our manuals guide you step by step.
