Vienna Bike Events & Festivals Calendar
Updated
Vienna's cycling calendar is packed from spring to autumn, with mass rides, festivals and races that turn the whole city into a celebration on two wheels.
Spring kick-off rides
The season opens with friendly mass rides that close central streets to cars, welcoming families and first-timers onto traffic-free boulevards.
These events are a great introduction to the city's cycling culture and a chance to ride landmark routes you would normally share with traffic.
Summer festivals and night rides
Warm evenings bring lantern-lit night rides along the Danube and pop-up festivals with music, food stalls and repair workshops.
Many are free to join and start near the city centre, so you can roll up on a rental bike and follow the crowd.
Autumn races and how to join
Cooler autumn weekends host sportive rides and charity races on routes that head out toward the Wienerwald and the Danube valley.
Check event websites for registration, start times and any bike requirements, and arrive early to find parking for your own bike.
