Giro veloce in bici da Pierre-Bénite a Lione

This relaxed 8.7 km ride whisks you from the southern suburb of Pierre-Bénite right into the heart of vibrant Lyon. Starting out in Pierre-Bénite—a town known for its riverside parks and history as a workers' hub—you’ll roll mostly along smooth cycleways and quiet roads, making it super beginner-friendly and stress-free.

The route is mostly flat, with just a gentle climb here and there (so you won’t break too much of a sweat). The scenery gradually shifts from suburban calm to the dynamic cityscape of Lyon, famous for its UNESCO-listed old town, energetic food scene, and beautiful riversides.

You'll get to cruise on mostly well-paved paths, passing only a few short stretches of unpaved surfaces—so urban or hybrid bikes will feel right at home. The ride is a great intro to cycling into a French city: not too fast, not too hilly, and with the payoff being Lyon’s endless things to explore at your finish line!
