nextbike’s bike-sharing scheme has officially launched in Cardiff at The Senedd in Cardiff Bay today.
A whopping 4,300 miles have been clocked up on the bikes in Cardiff since a trial scheme with 50 bikes was launched in March – the equivalent of cycling the Taff Trail 78 times.
nextbike, the world’s most extensive bike-share operator, is launching an additional 200 bikes and 20 stations in Cardiff following the successful introduction of a small number of bikes and stations.
The scheme was made possible thanks to backing from Cardiff Council and financial support from the Welsh Government and Cardiff University.
It was introduced with the aim of reducing congestion, freeing up parking spaces and providing a healthier, sustainable way to travel around the city.
