BOURGES À VELO
The city of Bourges, always at the cutting edge of urban pollution, provides 65 bicycles free of charge to the inhabitants of Bourges. The principle is simple: after completing the use formalities (recent certificate of residence, identification, RIB) in the underground car park at the city hall, you will leave with a bicycle; You can keep it at home for a maximum of 6 months. The deposit paid at the time of the bicycle withdrawal is returned to you when you return the bicycle. The loan is made at level -1 of the parking lot at the Hotel de Ville. Bicycles chosen by the municipality are mixed, light and practical. They are provided with an anti-theft and a basket on the front. The small maintenance of the bike is at the expense of the borrower (grinding, grilled bulb…). The loan is only available to major persons, whose domicile or place of work is located on the commune. The city allows bicycles to take certain streets in the senses prohibited in the hyper-center (except Average Street), and has set up 89 km of cycle paths, including 40 separate car tracks. Two secure parkings were installed: Place Seraucourt and the north parking station of the train station. An intercommunal plan is launched to create connections and promote bicycle travel throughout the city.
