Capodanno 2025 a Palermo, il concerto
Dove festeggiare l’arrivo del 2024 a Palermo
Welcome!
Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know us!
I founded Social Bike Palermo in 2015 with the aim of promoting sustainable mobility in synergy with the rediscovery of the city's historical, cultural and artistic heritage.
Influencing positive change in Palermo is what I love to do. Developing new relationships by sharing my passion is an advantage because we stand out for friendly service and a personal approach. In collaboration with partners such as tour operators and tourist guides, I believe in the bicycle as a social tool for the protection and enjoyment of the territory with full respect for the environment.
Bicycle is a fun, efficient and easy way to get around Palermo. Renting a bicycle or following a bike tour with us is an unrepeatable experience. You will find available city bikes, touring bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes and accessories for your bike trips. Also bike tours around the city.
We’re so glad you’ve put your trust in us!

They talk about us
Bike and accessory rental and luggage storage. Two notes of merit: it joins the Addio Pizzo network and sells products from the lands confiscated from the mafia, collaborating with the Addio Pizzo and Libera associations
Great place to drop off luggage.Don't hesitate to come in, the prices are very good and you are very welcome. Close to everything.
We had a Sonderfall 2 days Tour with the bike rentalAntonio is very helpful with everythingVery professionell and he gave is the best Tipps for Palermo and sorroundings !!
The best place to leave your luggage a few hours before departure. The gentleman owner was really kind and very helpful. He provided us with some really useful information to be able to spend our last hours in Palermo. He is a truly exquisite person. The excellent price. My friends and I were very satisfied and we are still remembering it with pleasure.
We didn't rent a bike but we left our luggage, very kind gentleman, welcoming and very explanatory. The place is ideal to leave one's luggage if traveling by train as it is very close to the central station and at the same time in the city center
The best place to store your luggage before leaving.My friends and I were welcomed by the owner of the business in a friendly and welcoming manner, he provided us with useful information for our last moments in the city, as well as a goodbye sweet.Very convenient location for those who have to go to the station and favorable price.
We stored our bags here and printed a ticket. Very friendly and helpful! Recommended!
Fabio’s bike tour was the best, he was full of interesting stories, fun and entertaining. He has a lovely personality, warmly recommended as a bike tour guide in Palermo!
Anthony was great, very flexible and Elena was a terrific tour guide. We saw all of the sights including the port area on our bike tour. Highly recommend!
We rented two bikes and had a ride to Mondello and back. The man at the shop was very kind and helpful, showed us on the map which route to take. Bikes were great we had no problem.
We had a great time touring the city on the Social Bike bikes. I highly recommend, a very warm welcome!Thanks again!
Social Bike Palermo is more than just a bike rental service; it’s a welcoming, helpful, and accommodating part of the Palermo experience. Their luggage friendly options and exceptional customer service make them a top choice for anyone looking to explore the city on two wheels. Highly recommended!
Good service, we really thought about nice places and how we could best get there. Super friendly 👌
Opted for solo adventure and picked the red Trek mtb. Explored hills and towns outside Palermo on it. Challenging with the end of August heat and climbs but the views were well worth the effort. Highly recommended!
The cultural quality of the guide, EVAz, is impressive. Cult Sina intelligent and super friendly. The walk was pleasant, very instructive and I would repeat it 3 or four times to retain as much as possible... highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn about Palermo, history and culture of Palermo, Sicily, Italy... don't miss it.
Unfortunately we weren't in Palermo long enough to rent bikes, but we would definitely have done so after our visit. The owner was very friendly and accommodating and printed out our digital documents for us (8 pages!) without any ifs or buts. When we wanted to at least compensate him for the effort, we were given a cornetto and croissant with a smile.The shop was clean and tidy and the bikes appeared new and serviced. If we visit Palermo again, definitely! Greetings and thanks again André and Daniela
We rented two bicycles for two days from here whilst on holiday in Palermo and the service was great! Very fair prices and the (I assume) owner was very friendly, helpful and informative. He speaks great English also, which was very helpful for us as our Italian is awful. If you're looking to rent a bicycle whilst in Palermo, I definitely recommend coming here
We went there end of July to actually leave our bags when we arrived in Palermo : the employee (owner?) was very nice and it was very practical as it is very central. I recommend !
The manager was super friendly, I would definitely go there again to store my luggage.
Friendly owner, easy exchange of records and fair price. Gave us tips for the area and were able to communicate very well in English.
I had an amazing experience with Palermo Social Bike! The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, helping me choose the perfect bike for my needs. The rental process was smooth and efficient, and the bike was in excellent condition. I particularly appreciate the helpful tips they provided about the best routes and attractions in Palermo. Highly recommend to anyone!
We had a great bike tour today of the 4 areas of historic Palermo! Fabio, our guide, was very personable, knowledgeable and provided us with great info. We wished we would have started our visit with this to get to know the city better, but we’re very happy to have done it at the end of our trip nonetheless. We felt like we got to know the city even more. I highly recommend this activity if you are in Palermo! Bonus, they stored our luggage for free while we were out biking.
We had a very positive experience with Social Bikes. Anthony was very kind, flexible, very responsive to emails and give very helpful information about the cycle lines in the city (including a map) to help us feeling safe and comfortable. He also had some nice recommendations for places to visit. Bikes were great (even for tall people like us). Highly recommended!
Totally recommend this place. The guy is super nice ( gentile). He explains everything and is super supportive. You are provided a repair kit, can also get a helmet and lights if needed. He is providing a map and shows you where to go. It was fun to go to capo gallo by bike. Driving around Palermo can be tricky as there are plenty one way streets and lots of traffic. But it was fun exploring the City by bike. The bikes are also nice, with gear shifts and breaks that work really well, which is important for one’s fun ne safety 🙂
We rented two good bikes a few days ago and also had really great service. We were recommended a slightly less visited beach and when we asked about good restaurants, we were given a few good alternatives.However, the cycle paths in Sicily are all directly on the road, which we were unfortunately not aware of at the beginning.
I am fully satisfied with the services of Social Bike Palermo.In the morning I decided to go on a spontaneous trip around the city, despite the rather full reservation, there was a bike for me, for which I thank you once again.The owner was very nice and helpful. He explained everything needed. What more could you want?The bike comes with a mandatory lock and additional inner tubes with a pump.I recommend
We rent two bikes for one day. It was perfect. The prices are affordable. The man is really nice and speak a very good English. He showed us places to go. I recommend it !
Bicycle rental is located in the middle of the old town of Palermol. Very friendly and helpful owner gives you tips for beautiful tours, for example to Mondello. Highly recommended.
Rented a bike for 5 days for a trip across the island. Super good experience! Even let me store my bags for free. No problems with the bike, friendly owner. Even giving me his whatsapp number in case i need anything 🙂 top’
Nice owner, responsive and friendly, will tell you everything and even advise where to go. Convenient location - right in the city center! The bicycles, of course, are old and a little worn out. But very thoughtfully, they provide a bag with a repair kit and a pump, just in case - it’s convenient, and it even came in handy for me when my tire burst - I was able to change it myself.You can also leave your luggage in the store while you ride or walk around the city.I wish to the company success and popularity.I recommend!
If you start your holidays in Palermo it is essential to stop by Antonio, the exquisite kindness and the calm and professional service are a welcome to this wonderful island. Excellent quality service.
We rented two German Bergamont touring bikes for our challenging 12-day round trip in Western Sicily (Palermo-Agrigento-Trapani-Palermo). The offered bikes were staffed with stable pannier holders, locks, spare tubes, essential tools and are quite good as long as you stay on paved roads. In case of more severe technical problems, Social Bike will arrange support by other bike shops.Thanks a lot Anthony!Torsten & Sabine
I rented a bike to bike to Mondello beach. The experience was perfect, super comfortable bike with smooth gears, and good breaks. You even get a repair kit and lock with your rental. I highly recommend this bike shop if you’re looking to explore the area via bike! 🚴♀️
I used Social Bike today to hire a touring bike. Antony was very nice and gave great advice about where to go. The bike was perfect, in good condition and very comfortable to ride.Check this place out if you want to hire a bike in Palermo.
