- secure bike parkings are the thing of the future
- data about the positive influence of bike sharing systems on the health of the citizens is slowly emerging

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.
