Vandalism hits Greater Manchester’s cycle hire scheme again Transport for Greater Manchester issues plea to respect bikes so others can enjoy them cycling
reported that the Bee Network Cycle Hire Scheme, owned and managed by Transport for Greater Manchester using docking stations and bikes from bike-share firm Beryl, “have been disappearing from the streets of Manchester, Trafford and Salford in alarming numbers.”
“The Greater Manchester Cycle Hire Scheme has been hugely popular so far, with almost 1million kilometres ridden since its launch, and the majority of people are using the bikes as they should,” he said. “The increase in vandalism has resulted in a backlog of bikes in need of repair in the Trafford depot, as well as those in need of routine maintenance. Beryl has increased depot resources to speed up bike repairs and get them back out on the network for people to use.
