CYCLOCITY. Soft urban mobility.
Since 2003, JCDecaux has served cities and residents through Cyclocity, a multiple award-winning, comprehensive self-service bicycle scheme. It is a sustainable, easy-to-ease and complementary mobility solution that is in step with the expansion of multi-model transport.
Cyclocity, a JCDecaux subsidiary that designs the self-service bicycles, is in charge of the installation, operation, upkeep, maintenance and regulation of the service. A mobile app, website and call centre are available to assist users.
Expertise. Conditions for success.
When launching a self-service bicycle hire scheme in a city, the network of stations is critically important. There must be a sufficient number of stations, and they should be located close to points of interest, like shops and offices, to attract the maximum number of users. Payment, subscription and customer service must be simple and accessible. Ideally, the scheme should integrate with the city's public transport system. Finally, the system should fit harmoniously into the cityscape, and the bicycles and stations should be well-built, reliable and well-maintained. Our engineers, designers and teams on the ground have developed unrivalled expertise in this domain.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT. 100% JCDecaux.
The self-service bicycles are fully in-house designed. Fifteen years of research and 37 patents have made Cyclocity a global benchmark, recognised with the “Janus de l’Industrie” certification by the Institut français du design (French Institute of Design) in 2006.
