User registration

To access the service of the BICY system, the user concludes a contract and obtains a user card at the same time. For registration, it is necessary to present a valid identity document and tax number. Registration is valid for the current calendar year (April 25, 2023 – December 31, 2023) and must be renewed in each new calendar year. All existing users who registered in the previous season received an SMS message inviting them to reactivate their BICY card.

Upon registration or replacement of the old user card with a new one, which enables the use of the upgraded system, maintenance and registration costs of 10 EUR per year are partially covered. After registration, the user can use the BICY system every day of the week, subject to a time limit of 14 hours in each calendar week.
