Manchester Bee Network - Cycle Hires Live

[fossyant]

As of last week the Bee Network went live.

Spotted my first set of docked bikes about 5 minutes walk from my office. Scheme is a bit limited to the Oxford Road Corridor, goes all the way out to Fallowfield, and all the way into near The Palace Theatre , but not yet into the city centre. There is also another 'zone' near Salford Uni.

I'd use it if it went a little further into the city centre - that expansion is planned. 50p plus 5p per minute. Leccy bikes double.

Looks like they are being used as the 10 near work are down to 4 this afternoon.

London cycle hires had a record September this year with over 1.2 million hires!
Fingers crossed for Manchester as a successful scheme will create more jobs in cycling.
