We’re unfortunately not able to offer luggage storage for our biking tours, as they start and end at public meeting points. However, there are plenty of paid storage lockers in Stockholm, for example at the main station T Centralen.

There are no public toilets at the meeting point, so please plan ahead. Some nearby cafés or restaurants may have restrooms, but we recommend using one before you arrive to ensure a comfortable start to your tour. During the tour, we’ll pass public toilet facilities that you can use if needed.
