Built by local cyclists who wanted exploring Tirana to be easy.
BikeTirana is a local cycling team based at the New Bazaar. It started because friends kept borrowing our bikes and asking where to ride.
We are not a rental counter. The job is finding you the right ride, the right route, and the right pace, then getting out of the way.
Message us on WhatsApp and a person answers, usually within minutes. Book direct, pay no service fees, cancel free up to 24 hours.
Every booking pays a fair local wage: the guides, the mechanics, and whoever pulls your €1.50 espresso.
Our story
BikeTirana was built by local cyclists who wanted to make exploring Tirana easier, more personal, and more enjoyable for visitors. Instead of handing over a bike and sending people off with no context, we focus on helping each guest find the right ride, the right route, and the right pace for their time in the city.
Because we ride Tirana ourselves, we know which areas feel easiest for first-time visitors, which routes work best for a short self-guided ride, and when an e-bike makes more sense than a standard city bike. That local knowledge — plus a real shop at the New Bazaar with rentals, guided tours, repairs, and gear in one place — is what makes the BikeTirana experience feel simple and smooth.
Our guided rides grew out of the same local team: our tours are listed on TripAdvisor as “Bike Tour Tirana by Purealb”, where guests have rated them 4.9 out of 5.
