I just love this rental bike system. It only costs me 3€ a year and you can borrow a bike literary in every corner of the city and leave it on these parking. They are a bit heavy but still nice to ride. According to our municipality there are more 50.000 active accounts so this is a quarter of the whole population. They are building new stations every year. I think this is a good way to promote biking commute because it is easy, cheap and leaves you with options for example to take the bike to work and then bus back home in case of bad weather. This is the reason why I learned how to ride a bike (at 30 haha) and commute with bike everyday multiple times a day.
