Bike friendly accommodation in Barcelona?
 
Off for a little jaunt round Europe in September, Does anyone know of any bike friendly accommmodation in central Barcelona? Cheap is good, but secure bike parking is the main issue.
cheers!

I stayed in this hostel about 3 years ago.

It's very nice and cheap.

It gets very busy so book ahead if you can. In the 3 nights that I stayed there people were sleeping on the grass outside the hostel waiting for a bed to come free. I'd booked ahead so was OK.

As far as bike secure parking. There is a car park but as far as I can remember it wasn't gated/secured at night. I wasn't really bothered about this too much as the hostel is located in a quiet residential area outside of the city centre. I was on my bike and had no problems.

Hi,

I am doing some work for a company that does low cost accomodation. For barcelona it's Barcelona Low cost Hotels Hostels Apartments Bed and Breakfast in Barcelona for just 30 €. If you look for 'on-site parking' that's a secured area (usually underground).

If you want a hand with which areas to look in here let me know.

cheers,
Doug

Biker Friendly Accommodation Database
 
Hi All,

I'm thinking about building a database of "Biker Friendly Accommodation" by country/town with waypoints, etc.

Firstly, if built, would it be useful and secondly would anybody be interested in contributing?

I only really want to create entries for those places that have been recommend, rather than just a general database of hotels/b&b/etc.

Anyone interested?

a google map could be created, for city/country, and run/managed by the HU community?

that has the advantage of being print-able too.
