Private firms will launch two different bike sharing systems in the Czech capital in 2016, while the City Hall is still hesitating even though there is a strong cycling lobby in Prague and it will probably introduce its own system in 2017 only, daily Mladá fronta Dnes (MfD) writes today.
“In 2016, we would like to have around 300 bicycles in the streets,” Pavlína Pacáková, coordinator of the Rekola project that is already lending some 70 older pink-painted bicycles in Prague, told MfD.
To meet the growing interest, Rekola has decided to further develop its project.
It will compete with the Social Bicycles firm that is active in several U.S. cities, including New York. It also plans to lend 300 bicycles.
They will not have the traditional chain that will be replaced by a cardan shaft which prevents people from getting their trousers dirty. The lights of the bicycles switch on automatically and have a GPS system with which it is possible to monitor individual bicycles, MfD writes.
“The recharging of the electronic devices is done by solar cells and a covert dynamo,” Marcin Pyla, the firm's technical director told MfD.
Neither Rekola nor Social Bicycles plans building a dense network of stands because they are usually the most expensive part of the project.
Social Bicycles has installed all necessary technology right in the bicycles, MfD writes.
It writes that the prices of the services provided within the two projects have not been definitively set as yet.
