Citizens Cartagena asks the City Council to bet decidedly on sustainable mobility in the municipality by restarting the bike rental service 'Bicity', suspended in 2013 to be submitted, supposedly, to a rethinking with the aim of improving different aspects of its operation.

Third world bike lane in Cartagena

The group warned of the urgent need to adapt and increase the kilometers of bike lane, which is even impracticable in some sections.

"From Ciudadanos we denounced in October 2017 the deficient and third world status of the bike lanes of Cartagena, and we requested in plenary session that the City Council carried out an exhaustive review of the state of the roads so that it proceeded to repaint those sections that need, as well as the recovery of the pavement in poor condition or the resolution of security problems, but so far there has been no political will to implement this agreement, "says Manuel Padín.
