This self-service bicycle system was set up in Nicosia-North in 2018 by Canadian company PBSC Urban Solutions. It consists of 43 stations and 410 gray and red bicycles distributed between the old town and its suburbs. To take advantage of it, you need to download the "PBSC" app on your smartphone from Google Play or App Store, then create a "Velespeed Nicosia" account. It's easy enough to use. However, many stations are empty, even out of season. The same system also exists in Famagusta.
