READING’S popular ReadyBike scheme is being extended into Wokingham for the first time with a rack of eight cycles at Earley railway station.
The Earley Station ReadyBike docking station is funded through the Local Sustainable Transport Fund and is the result of collaborative working between Reading and Wokingham Borough Councils.
Tony Page, Reading Borough Council’s Lead Member for Strategic Environment, Transport and Planning, said: “Since its launch in June 2014, ReadyBike has proved a popular and cost effective way for people to travel around Reading with a total of 90,192 miles covered by ReadyBike users, 16,837 rentals in the last nine months and an average rental time of 41 minutes.”
John Kaiser, Wokingham Borough Council’s Executive Member for Planning and Highways, added: “This is an excellent initiative, and makes it even more convenient for people to cycle. It supports our borough vision, to provide every opportunity to make realistic sustainable travel part of everyday life.”
