Free bikes

IF you find yourself enjoying the capital of Spain before the end of July, why not see the city riding a free bicycle.

The municipal electric bicycle service Bicimad was implemented on March 7 and accompanied by the unlimited free use of the service with the aim of encouraging cycling in Madrid.

This project is aimed at giving citizens first­hand experience of the advantages offered by the renewed public electric bicycle system and is the first time the free service has been extended consecutively for almost five months.

The service, which will be valid for bicycle models and all stations, is intended to accompany all users during the period of coexistence of both systems until the implementation project is fully completed. The project will ensure a system of 7,500 electric bicycles and 611 stations, all newly acquired, distributed throughout the 21 districts of Madrid.
