The Municipality of Córdoba will enable the second station of the public bicycle system this Monday. As expected, it is in the Plaza España area, in the pedestrian section of Calle Derqui, in front of the Palacio Ferreyra-Evita museum.
The service started up last week with the first station located on the border between the Alberdi neighborhood and the Center, in the lateral sector of Paseo Sobremonte.
With the second station enabled, bicycles can be rented at that point and returned at the Plaza España station, or vice versa.
The rest of the stations will be in Ciudad Universitaria, on the campus of the Córdoba Regional Faculty of the National Technological University (UTN), at the Provincial University of Córdoba (UPC), two in Sarmiento Park, in the area of Plaza San Martín , in the Bus Terminal and in the Alberdi neighborhood, somewhere near Plaza Colón.
The idea is that they complement the cycle path circuit that is being valued in the central area of the city.
The service works from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and will be free. To access a bicycle, you must register on the Vecino Digital (Vedi) platform, where the “Bici Cba” section is already available, as the public bicycle system is called.
There you can check the nearest stations and the availability of the vehicles.
In each of the stations there are staff who can also carry out the paperwork to remove the bicycle. They will have a fleet of 20 vehicles, two of them adapted for people with disabilities. There are 100 new bikes and a similar number of restored units in the Penitentiary Service workshops.
They are painted in the light blue color that identifies the current municipal management. They are urban in style, with fenders and comfortable seats. The new units were provided by the Enrique company, and are manufactured under Iram standards.
With the rental, the user is provided with a regulatory helmet and a refractory backpack. They are rolled 26, so they can be used by minors from 12 to 17 years old, with the tutoring of a responsible adult. And from the age of 18 onwards.
Each of the bikes is equipped with GPS, which provides real-time information about its location. They are also insured. In the Municipality they assure that the percentage of vandalism or theft in other cities is very low, with only three percent affecting the fleet.
