Exploring Sardinia’s vibrant cities on a city bike offers a refreshing and flexible way to see the sights without the hassle of public transport or guided groups.
This review covers the CITYBIKE/ easy Classic for 24 hours with free delivery experience in Cagliari and Quartu — a practical option for travelers who want to explore at their own pace.
What makes this experience appealing? First, the free delivery service ensures you don’t waste time searching for rental spots. Second, the easy-to-use, gear-free bikes make navigating Sardinia’s city streets accessible for all levels.

What to Expect from the Tour
The rental includes delivery to a place of your choosing, whether it’s your hotel, a café, or a meeting point. Once you have the bikes, you’re free to explore the city for up to 24 hours. This means you can start your adventure in the morning and wind down at your leisure — a significant advantage over fixed-schedule tours.
The bikes are described as easy to use, with no gears, making them suitable for casual riders or those who haven’t ridden in a while. The absence of gears simplifies the riding experience, allowing you to focus on the sights rather than the mechanics of the bike.
Highlights You Can Visit
- Poetto Beach: Known for its long stretches of sand and lively atmosphere, Poetto is the go-to spot for sunbathing, swimming, or just enjoying the sea breeze. We loved the way the bike ride provides quick access to the beach from the city center, making it easy to combine city sightseeing with downtime by the water.
- Downtown Cagliari: The historic center is full of narrow streets, charming cafes, and beautiful architecture. Cycling here allows you to cover more ground comfortably than walking, and the bikes’ simplicity makes it accessible even if you’re new to cycling.
- Molentargius Salt Pans: A haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers, these salt pans offer a unique landscape just outside the city. Many reviewers appreciated the ease of getting here with the bikes, noting that “it’s a fantastic way to see a different side of Sardinia without the hassle of public transport.”
The Experience of the Bikes
Based on reviews, the bikes are well-maintained and straightforward. One reviewer noted, “They were super easy to ride, even for someone who hasn’t biked much before.” The lack of gears makes pedaling straightforward, especially on flat terrain, while the lightweight design helps in navigating city streets.
