The Vice-Mayor of Motril, José García Fuentes, has announced that in line with the health campaign, Motril, ciudad saludable, the town now has a free bicycle-lending service.
“To be able to enjoy a bicycle ride around town at no cost is now possible, for visitors and residents alike,” explained Sr. García Fuentes.
In total, 25 bikes have been put into service. To obtain one, all you have to do is to show your DNI or passport and fill in a form.
Four bikes are available from the Oficina de Turismo, next to El Parque de las Americas, eight at the Charca de Suárez and 13 at the underground car park under the Plaza de la Coronación.
You will be able to use the bike all day long, as long as you return it to where you found it at the end of the same day. You are free to pick it up again the next day, if you want.
But if you don’t like cycling alone, you can do it in groups up to 15, as long as you give them prior notice; i.e., you don’t just turn up on a given day and demand a cluster of bicycles.
But..... you don’t only get a pedal-driven mean machine, you also get an A3-sized map on which are shown the 10 kilometres of bicycle lanes within Motril, as well as the 17 special parking areas for them.
¡Enhorabuena, Motril!
