Coca Cola To Sponsor Belfast Bike Scheme
Coca Cola has been announced as the sponsor for Belfast's public bike scheme.
The £300,000 sponsorship deal will last for three years and was unveiled by Lord Mayor Nichola Mallon and Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy today.
The scheme is due to start in April this year and will be operated by NSL Services. The first phase will use 300 cycles and 30 docking stations positioned across the city centre – from the Odyssey Arena to Bradbury Place, from Millfield to Central Station and the Gasworks.
The Department for Regional Development is providing funding of £1.1m towards the development of docking stations and bicycles. Belfast City Council will provide ongoing financial support during the next six years to manage the scheme.
To use the bikes, passengers must register either online or by telephone, with a registration cost of £20 for the year.
The first half an hour hire is free of charge, with incremental charges thereafter – 50p for up to an hour, £3.50 for up to four hours and then increments of £4 for more than four hours.
