Cycling
Vélomagg' (from Vélos Montpellier Agglomeration) is a bike sharing scheme in Montpellier launched in June 2007, engineered by Smoove. This community bicycle program has 750 bicycles and 59 stations for short and long term renting, optionally coupled with tramway, bus and car sharing services.[1] Individual bicycles can park in secured parking lots linked to the system, equipped with electrical public pumps. The bicycles are secured by electronic locks operated by RFID client smart card or keyboard. The system is reliable and appreciated,[2] the bicycles are relatively cheap, sturdy and light.
[3] Contrary to most other such programs, it is not linked to an advertising deal.[4]
