24-Hour Mountain Bike Rental in Madrid: Trails, Tips and Gear

The Experience
Before You Go
Check the helmet fit
Even though a helmet is provided, adjust straps and padding for a secure fit before you ride; a loose helmet won’t protect in a fall.
Bring ID and a payment method
Staff may request ID at checkout and a card for incidental charges—keep these handy to speed pickup.
Plan water and snacks
Maps show services but long loops into Casa de Campo or El Pardo have few resupply options—carry at least 1–2 liters and calorie-dense snacks.
Use lights after dusk
If you’ll be riding into evening, test front and rear lights before leaving and avoid unmarked singletrack at night.

Conservation Note
Stick to marked trails to limit erosion, avoid riding in muddy conditions, and lock bikes only at designated areas to respect protected habitats.
Areas like El Pardo were once royal hunting grounds; many tracks follow old estate and shepherd routes shaped over centuries.
