From, October 22, Madrid’s public electric bike system, BiciMAD, will expand to include 19 new stations across six districts: Fuencarral-El Pardo (1 station), Moncloa-Aravaca (4), Puente de Vallecas (5), San Blas-Canillejas (3), Vicálvaro (4), and Villaverde (2). This addition extends the system to the neighborhood of El Cañaveral for the first time, with stations also set up in Ciudad Universitaria, Entrevías, Los Ángeles, Peñagrande, Rejas, San Cristóbal, and Valdezarza. To accommodate the increased coverage, 235 additional bicycles will be available.

New locations

This latest expansion strengthens the Madrid City Council and EMT Madrid’s commitment to promoting bicycles as a sustainable transportation option. Supported by NextGenerationEU funds under the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, this phase brings BiciMAD’s total to 630 stations and 7,735 bicycles across all 21 districts.

The new locations were strategically chosen to enhance service density in high-demand areas and extend coverage to neighborhoods previously lacking bike stations. Many of these selections reflect requests from local councils, ensuring that both existing users and new areas benefit from improved access.

Highlights include four new stations in El Cañaveral to support local mobility and connect with municipal bus routes, as well as expanded service in Ciudad Universitaria with new stations near key educational facilities. In Entrevías, five additional stations will increase bike availability, while Rejas sees three new stations, including two in Colonia Fin de Semana. Villaverde gains two stations that improve connectivity with the San Cristóbal de los Ángeles commuter train station. New stations in Valdezarza and Peñagrande will address the growing demand in those neighborhoods.
