Worcester City Council want to roll out pay as you ride bikes in 50 locations across city.
By Christian BarnettA new bike hire scheme would not be appropriate unless safer routes are installed, cyclists said.
The council said the £700,000 scheme was a huge step forward and would have 50 collect and drop-off points across the city. It would be funded using almost £20m the city was given by the government from the Towns Fund in 2021,Rob Collier, secretary of Bike Worcester, said while the new bike hire scheme was a huge turning point, the county's hostile reputation towards cycling and the lack of proper infrastructure would put off inexperienced riders.
