Brno offers free bike sharing rides this season–again

People in Brno can once again use shared bikes free of charge, as the city resumes support for bikesharing from March 1. The municipality is investing 4.8 million crowns in the scheme, the same amount as last year, and expects the funding to last until the end of September, covering most of the cycling season. Under the programme, users are entitled to two free 30-minute rides per day. Bikes must be returned to official stations listed in the providers’ apps. As in previous years, the services are operated by Rekola and nextbike. Last year, nearly 19,000 people used the system at least once, around 3,000 more than the year before.
