In Lyon, hopping on a bike has become a true way of life. Riding a bike in Lyon means breezing past morning traffic with a cheeky smile, sculpting your calves without ever stepping foot in a gym, and it’s also a fantastic boost for the planet. Let’s just say that the financial support from the Metropolis is perfectly timed to give a great boost to the sales of these little queens.

In 2025, the program will continue with a lovely check to help you make the switch to two wheels. But be careful, not everyone will be able to benefit. You must live in one of the 58 municipalities of the Metropolis of Lyon and have a taxable income not exceeding €26,200. If you fit the criteria, then it’s jackpot!

Nearly 500 euros in average assistance

On the bike front, the Metropolis has planned generously. Whether it’s a cutting-edge electric bike, a family cargo bike for hauling kids and groceries, or a vé...

the most flexible option for savvy city dwellers or even a refurbished mechanical bike for eco-conscious lovers, you will find your happiness. The only condition: go through a local merchant to support the local economy. No questionable orders from some random Chinese site here; we buy local.

Last year, Lyon residents received an average of €486 in assistance for their rides. That's a nice amount that proves cycling in Lyon is a fantastic deal. Since the aid was launched in 2022, no less than 9,351 applications have been approved. So, it's your turn now. The perfect summer body and eco-friendly trips are just waiting for you.
