Bike share scheme expands to more towns
BerylA bike share scheme has expanded to more towns in Dorset.
Eighty bikes are now available to be picked up from the Beryl bays in Corfe Mullen and Upton, offering a choice of pedal bicycles and e-bikes.
The scheme had already been running in Wimborne, Ferndown, Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Wool, and Studland.
Beryl CEO and co-founder, Phil Ellis, said he hoped the scheme would encourage more people to take up sustainable transport methods.
Councillor Lacey Clarke, Dorset Council's cabinet lead for highways and travel, said: “Dorset Council has ambitious targets for carbon emission reduction over the coming years, so providing a way for more people to leave their vehicles at home and hop on a bike aligns with our goal of creating stronger and healthier communities.”
He added: “By getting more people out of the car and on to two wheels, we can contribute towards getting more people active and improving public."
