Tel Aviv’s flat topography and comfortable climate make it a great location for bicycle and scooter riding. Throughout the city, you will find over 175 green Tel-O-Fun bike stations. This municipality-run bike sharing option enables riders to pick-up and drop-off a standard or electric bicycle as needed. There are also several private companies which offer bike and electric scooter sharing services (see helpful apps below).
Helpful Apps:
