THE PENDING DRAFT

How Seville transformed itself into the cycling capital of southern Europe

April 12, 2015

Seville now has 75 miles of segregated lanes, with other routes radiating out from the loop around the old town. It also has a municipal bike hire scheme, like those in Paris and London, called SEVici, with 2,500 bikes and 250 docking stations.

It is additionally trying to link cycling with public transport. Passengers arriving at the city’s main bus station can use their ticket to borrow one of nearly 200 separate rental bikes, free for the whole day. The city’s university has yet another scheme, in which students are provided with bikes for the academic year.

Looking forward to WordCamp Europe in June even more when i read this.

    Dear Claudio,

    When will you be/how long do you stay in Seville?
    I will be there Tuesday to Tuesday. What about sightseeing via private cycling tour? Let’s talk …

    Best from Cologne,
    Annette

      Haven’t booked the flight, yet.
      But we plan to be in Seville one week before the WordCamp for some co-working and i’ll probably stay some days for vacation afterwards.
      A sightseeing cycling tour sounds great! :)
