Cyclists get secure parking in Benidorm

BENIDORM Council has installed 50 new bike racks around the resort to enable cyclists to park their bicycles and lock them.

Following a request from the Benidorm cycling clubs and student representatives along with the growing number of people taking to two wheels within the town, the council have responded by agreeing to make the installations which have been paid for by the concessionaire of urban furniture.

José Ramón González de Zárate, councillor for Mobility said: “Each rack will be able to hold seven to eight bikes with more units being installed at the school complexes and sports centre.”

Other streets to have benefited include: Juan Fuster Zaragoza which has three units, the junction of the Mediterraneo and Europa which has two units and the Elche Park area with two units.
