Graz is, let’s be honest, Austria’s secret cycling capital (sorry Vienna, but “cycle street” usually just means “two bike symbols painted on a car park”).
And since we cyclists not only love being on our bikes, but also like to know where to pump some air, charge a battery, or crash for the night, here’s something new: BikeGraz Spots.
(By the way, the data comes from OpenStreetMap – from the community, for the community.)
🚲 Workshops & Shops
Is your bike squeaking like an opera singer in the final act?
Or did your gears decide to take a day off?
No worries – Graz has more workshops and bike shops than the Lend has hipsters. Whether it’s spare parts, a new bike, or just a quick service: the map shows you where to go.
🏨 Hotels & Accommodation
Yes, tourists roll into Graz too. And not everyone wants to haul their bike up a 3rd floor staircase.
That’s why there are hotels, pensions, and guesthouses that are actually bike-friendly. Park your bike, charge your battery, sleep – done.
🍽️ Restaurants & Cafés
After a ride through the Schöckl trails: hungry!
Because nothing is worse than a cyclist running on empty (and yes, I mean the human, not the e-bike battery).
With BikeGraz Spots you’ll find spots where your bike isn’t treated like an unwanted stepchild chained outside.
🔌 Charging Stations
Attention e-bikers: here’s where you’ll find clean power.
From downtown to the Mur riverbanks – there are quite a few stations, and yes, many are actually for e-bikes (not just for Aunt Gerda’s Tesla).
💧 Drinking Fountains
Free, cold, refreshing – and 100% legal.
If you know where.
Our map points you to fountains that don’t just look nice but also provide drinkable water.
🛠️ DIY Stations
For everyone who thinks they’re the MacGyver of two wheels.
Pumps, stands, a bit of tooling – and suddenly you’re fixing your bike in the middle of the city.
Of course, sometimes you’ll need three Allen keys and only one is there. But hey, it’s free!
💨 Public Pumps
Tire flatter than your Monday morning motivation?
No problem – Graz has public pumps. Some are great, others moody like an old Opel Corsa.
But when they work, you’re “under pressure” again in 30 seconds.
🚴♀️ Rental & Sharing
No bike with you? No stress.
The sharing offers in Graz are growing faster than the number of craft beer bars.
🔒 Boxes & Lockers
For everyone who loves their bike so much they don’t want to leave it alone overnight:
Bike boxes and lockers are now available at stations and hotspots. Safe storage – so you can relax at the opera or the Uni café.
Conclusion
BikeGraz Spots is basically the digital Swiss army knife for cyclists in Graz: workshops, pumps, cafés, hotels, power, water – all on one map.
Because at the end of the day: cycling is only truly fun if you don’t have to constantly wonder where to get air, stash your bike, or recharge your battery.
