Brussels rent a Bike scheme
Brussels February 2007
The city of Brussels have developed an innovative bicycle rental scheme. ( www.cyclocity.be )
You put a deposit of 150 Euros on a credit card at the information terminals, this provides you with a membership card. The bike then costs 1.50 Euro for a week or any part of week. A user then pays 0.50 Euro for the first half hour then its 1 Euro for each hour after that. All charges are made to the cerdit card. There are a number of "bike stations" around the city and bikes can be taken and returned to any station. The scheme was introduced in December 2006. The website does provide maps and photographs but be warned it is in French and Flemish.
