The Bicing service has become an international role-model in sustainable mobility. The service was chosen as an example of good practice in bike-sharing in the seminar “Shared and Active Mobility Solutions”, organised as part of the European TERRAIN project.

Various European cities have visited Barcelona to get a first-hand look at how the service works. Much of Bicing’s success can be attributed to the density of stations, its interconnection with other means of public transport and the use of advanced technology for smart bicycle redistribution.

With its own .barcelona domain, Bicing stands out as it is flexible, economic and healthy. Offering electric bikes and push bikes and boasting more than 500 stations, the service allows users to get around the city easily.  With over 150,000 users at present, the success of the model now goes beyond frontiers.
