Develop your city
Urban centres are increasingly sprawling, ear-splitting and chaotic. But changing them is up to you. Make your city into a liveable centre. We'll help you do it!!
Make it dynamic
Automobiles don't stand a chance in the city. Bikes are faster and more flexible, while taking up less street space and fewer parking spots.
Free your city from pollution
From exhaust emissions to oil slicks and tyre debris — people in cities have long since made their peace with the side effects inflicted by car traffic. But what would city living be like without the pollution?
A growing number of bikes ?
In Germany, the number of bikes has shot up in recent years. Industry estimates have the figure pegged at more than 76 million bikes.
Give your city a break from traffic jams
The average commuter drives about 17 km to work and back each day. Traffic jams are part of his everyday life. But he deserves better.

There's no time like the present
The mobility transition holds immense potential for modern city development. A smart way to link public transport with personal vehicles needs to be found.
In the effort to make your city a place where everyone can enjoy quiet, non-polluting and peaceful ways to get around, having your own bikesharing fleet can be a key piece of the puzzle.
