Belfast Bikes, Corporation Square (February 2017)
A close look at two of the “Belfast Bikes” in the stand at Corporation Square J3474 : Belfast Bikes, Corporation Square (May 2015). The scheme has been more popular than I’d ever expected, used by both locals and visitors. For those not familiar with Belfast’s topography, the city centre and the Shore Road are level. The suburbs, however, do contain some steep J3178 : The Horseshoe Bend, Belfast - March 2014(1) and very steep J3670 : The Rocky Road, Belfast roads.
The "Belfast Bikes" scheme

A scheme to make public-hire bicycles available in Belfast. The following is a part quotation from the official Coca-Cola Zero Belfast Bikes website LinkExternal link “The Belfast Bikes scheme is an exciting way to link up the city. The scheme will be launched in April [2015] and there are 30 docking stations located throughout the city centre which offer residents and visitors to Belfast a new low cost and convenient way to travel for quick trips around the city. Just pre-register as a casual or annual user and the first 30 minutes of each trip are free of charge . . . . . Belfast bikes are available to rent 365 days a year. Renting a bike is easy using our station kiosk, the mobile app, or by calling the hotline. You can return your bike at any official Belfast Bikes docking station. You can rent up to four Belfast Bikes at the same time. nextbike are the provider of the Belfast Bikes system and our members can rent bikes from all nextbike schemes in cities worldwide without registering again.”
