Bike sharing: promoting sustainable mobility |
THURSDAY JUNE 12 |
|
| 2.00 - 3.00pm |
 |
| At the dawn of the 21st century, the rise of the city bike has been boosted by new self-service bike
systems. The success of these flexible and innovative initiatives has demonstrated that bikes have a genuine role to play in urban mobility. Bikes
are a key asset for sustainable mobility, whether used on their own or combined with public transport. The discussion will bring together key players
in bike use in European conurbations, councillors and operators, and will also bring together the "European network of bike-sharing towns" for the
first time. |
