ECF

First European bike share platform launched today at Velo-city 2017 in Arnhem-Nijmegen. What a day! Lots of sessions took place this morning on various cycling topics from Bikeconomics, integrated Bike and Train solutions and European Funding for Cycling. Today's absolute highlight was the official launch of the first Platform for European Bicycle Sharing & Systems, open to operators offering any form of smart, shared access to a bike, whether public, private or hybrid. However, learning about cycling in the Netherlands is mainly done in practice: Almost 1000 participants of Velo-city took off to Amsterdam for an exciting day trip where they got to be locals for the day and explore the infrastructure, traffic, and lifestyle of their fellow Amsterdamers.
