Can you rent a bicycle in a city and return it in another one in France?
I'm planning a bicycle trip from the city of Selestat to Mulhouse.
Is there a place where you can rent a bike in one of the cities and return it in the other one?
This question is apparently very specific to these cities, but it's in fact more general: can you do that in some other pair of cities in France? Is it common?
Best Answer
France has an excellent cycling trail network and facilities. In regions that have popular bike trails there are usually small localized companies that allow you to do one way bike rentals.
Freewheelingfrance is a website that contains a list of rental agencies and tips around cycling in France.
The Alsace, the region asked about in the question is very popular for it's wine and vineyard cycling trail. So there will be plenty of bike hire places in the area. I don't know about the specific locations asked about, but I would expect many agencies will offer one way rentals along the route. As with hire cars, one way rentals usually incur an additional fee.

Even though you can easily rent a bike in Paris on your own, the most convenient and safe way to go on a bike tour in Paris is to join a tour with a local. To be honest with you, it took me years before daring to cycle around Paris. Even though there are cycle lanes all over town now, it still can be scary at times.The return of the bicycle: How to get around in the 21st century?

You might be better buy a second hand (VTT) bike and enjoy as much as you like...it will be cheaper than renting one if your ride takes several days. Check it out. Most 2nd hand VTT stores give you good deals even may hint where to return it to resell it in the other city.
