FREE Bike Lending at Síclovía

No bike, no problem! We're making sure everyone can get in on the fun. For Síclovía 2026, we're returning with our hugely popular Bicycle Lending Library, making sure that everyone gets to experience the joy and freedom of riding a bike on car-free streets. Just like your public library, our Bicycle Lending Library is totally free.

To borrow a bike, you'll need to sign in at our table with an ID. We'll hang on to the ID while you explore the event at your leisure with a bike and helmet provided by us. We will have bikes available in a variety of sizes for riders of different heights, as well as upright tricycles

To help us keep providing free bike programming in your community, donate to Ghisallo.

Síclovía is a free, annual event organized by the YMCA of Greater San Antonio that turns city streets into a safe place for exercise and play. The family-friendly event encourages residents and visitors to get out, get active, and explore their city through car-free streets. The Y accomplishes this by activating parks, bringing exposure to local businesses, and inviting community organizations. Participants can enjoy walking, biking, exercise classes, activities for youth, treats for their pets, food trucks, and more.

Ghisallo Cycling Initiative is a 501(c)(3) non-profit providing bicycle education and encouragement in Austin and San Antonio. We envision a community of comfortable and confident lifelong riders. We see a future in which all ages and abilities can explore and connect with their communities by bicycle, and all have access to bikes at an affordable cost.

• all participants must wear a helmet for the entire duration of the ride
• all participants must sign a liability release waiver from Ghisallo Cycling Initiative before riding
• all participants must present a valid ID in order to borrow a bicycle
• all participants under the age of 18 must be checked in by an adult
