Girocleta bike sharing system is 2 years old!

It’s been exactly two years since the Girocleta bike sharing system was opened to the public. On 28 of September 2009 the inauguration took place. Since that moment the system has been growing in popularity. Now it has more than 1.600 registered users.

The name of the system was chosen in a public voting. “Girocleta” got 303 votes (29.4%), the second proposal “Girobici” got 298 votes (only 5 votes of diference!). It was opened with 8 stations, 200 individual stations for bicycles and 160 bikes.

You can check out some beauty shots of the bike sharing system on Flickr.

An if you’re interested in some data about functioning of the system check out our previous post.

Happy birthday!

Girocleta bike sharing statistics October 2009 - April 2011

It’s been almost two years since the Girocleta public bike sharing system was inaugurated. The bike sharing system in Girona has been functioning since Autumn 2009 and now we are presenting the data to sum up this period.

Girocleta has over 1600 registered users who made 221.214 trips with the bikes! 

On an average day bicycles are borrowed 350 times, but the maximum number of 850 borrowings was noted. The lowest number of borrowings was 90.

Below you can see the distribution of users by gender (D - Female, H - Male)

The following graph shows  the distribution of users by age:

 

Here you can see usage during the days of the week (1-Sunday):

 

And the last graph shows the distribution of borrowing during the day:

 

 That's about it. It seems that Girocleta is doing pretty well and complements the public transportation system in Girona quite well.
