Donostia/San Sebastián is the perfect city for cycling: the terrain is relatively flat, and what’s more it has an extensive network of cycling tracks and bicycle lanes. These include scenic routes, such as the one that runs along the seafront between the beaches of Zurriola and Ondarreta, or the one that follows the course of  the Urumea river. The city has a public cycle hire service called D-Bizi as well as other rental companies.
