Barcelona Bicing has attracted more than 130 000 users since its introduction one year ago. Currently there are 286 Bicing stations spread over Barcelona, with 4300 bikes for the public. The majority, i.e. almost 50% of the people using this service is between 21 and 40 years old. The battle of the sexes is balanced, with 51% of men versus 49% of women as Bicing fans. Eixample and Sant Marti are the districts with the most density of
Bicing users. The huge advantage of Bicing is the physical exercise, yet at the same time you can avoid annoying traffic jams and crowded metro stations before and after work. The average time of usage is at 20 minutes, which is the least costly time and also the average time to get from home to work or the site of interest in the center. The reason why Eixample and Sant Marti have the highest density of users is also because they are well connected with
Bicing stations. Districts like Sants for example, are not yet well connected. However, the Barcelona Ajuntamiento has plans on further connecting and establishing 400 Bicing stations in the catalan sunshine capital. So, for your
Barcelona vacation, you might also reserve an
authentic Barcelona holiday apartment and use the service as the locals do. Also,
Barcelona Hotels, especially those in the center, are well connected to Bicing stations if you wish to take the bike to ride along the habor or to work.
