Various types of projects are implemented in many Polish cities, which give residents and tourists the possibility of relatively cheap and easy rental of bicycles. It is worth mentioning, for example, Veturilo, i.e. the Warsaw Public Bike. For some initiatives of this type, electric bike rental is also available. Such initiatives are also carried out in Crete. In recent days, the municipal authorities of Heraklion have decided to start work to extend their free city bike program to one that is equipped with electric assistance.
Heraklion is not a very big city and visiting it by bike can be quite an interesting alternative to getting around by car or public transport. What people with a slightly weaker condition may deter people from visiting the capital of Crete in this way is the fact that there are quite steep climbs on the streets. In that case, an electric bike would be a great choice.
In total, 66 two-wheelers are to be purchased under this project. An easy-to-use electronic system enabling the rental, use and return of a bicycle is also to be developed. Authorities predict that the bicycles will be placed in eight charging stations located in selected parts of the city.
I must admit that this is quite an interesting initiative, which, as emphasized by Mr. Costas Varda himself - the deputy mayor of the Heraklion commune, will ensure further strengthening of alternative ways of moving around the city. The total budget of the project is estimated at over PLN 440,000. € and will be co-financed under the operational program "Transport infrastructure, environment and sustainable development".
