Belfast's Bikeshare Scheme Launches
Belfast's public bikeshare scheme has launched today, 27 April.
The Belfast City Council scheme, supported by the Department for Regional Development, features 300 bicycles, based at 30 docking stations located across the city centre.
Almost 1500 people have registered for the Coca-Cola Zero Belfast Bikes scheme.
Membership costs £20 for an annual subscription or £5 for a 3 day membership for visitors, tourists and casual users.
SDLP Cllr Tim Attwood said: "Whilst I did not think it would take six years to get our own bike scheme, it is brilliant that Belfast now has one. It is great for commuters, tourists and the many cycle enthusiasts in Belfast.
"I am certain that it will be just as successful as the Dublin Bike Scheme, which last week announced its 10 millionth journey. It has also seen an increase in the number of people commuting to the city by bike by 114% between 2006 and 2014, with a 14% rise last year alone."
