Gijón City Council has presented the collaboration agreement signed by FAEN (Asturian Foundation of Energy) and IDEA (Institute for Energy diversification and saving) to locate in the streets 587 bicycles for hire that will be distributed in tourist establishments, sporting clubs, tourist information posts and other places of public interest capable of offering this service.
There are eight stations located in different parts of the city and bicycles can be used free for a limited period of two hours by means of a personal identification system of the Citizens’Card.
Bicycles are a healthy, ecological, sustainable and very cheap means of transport, both to move through the city and rural areas. Although most of the population of the municipality lives in the city, Gijón has a wide and rich rural area, where the bicycle, due to its special characteristics, could become a regular means of transport.
