Project start for the cargo bike in Freising: E-bikes can be rented at eight stations in the district town and in Pulling.

From now on.

Freising

– Since Saturday, the residents of Freising have been able to leave their car in the garage if they need to go shopping into town or pick up their children.

Since the weekend, 16 cargo bikes have been available for rent at seven stations in the city area plus a branch office in Pulling.

For Dominik Fuchs, the city's mobility officer, the long preparation time was worth it - because cargo bikes are a very important part of the mobility transition.

Fuchs also explained why it took two years from planning to the rental bikes on site: "Selecting the stations was a big challenge - everyone wanted to have the cargo bikes nearby." From the troubles of the city, the citizens to Mayor Birgit Mooser-Niefanger was enthusiastic about switching to the cargo bike, who then, as a passionate cyclist, immediately swung onto a Sigo cargo mobile for the first test ride in the courtyard of the St. Korbinian elementary school.

The bike is “incredibly fun”

Sigo founder Tobias Lochen gave tips: "It takes ten minutes to get used to the bike - but it's easier than you think." While Mooser-Niefanger cruised gallantly across the schoolyard, Lochen explained the characteristics of his E -Cargo bikes at the inductive charging stations: "Two crates of drinks can be easily transported, maximum load 60 kilograms.

Children up to the age of seven can ride along – but they must be wearing a seat belt.” “The bike,” continues Lochen, “is just incredibly fun”.

According to Fuchs, in order to use one of the 16 cargo bikes, the Freisingers only have to install one app on their smartphones, namely the LastenradBayern app.

This means that the bike can then be borrowed from the station and returned in a completely uncomplicated manner.

Important according to Fuchs: the cargo bike must be returned to the station where it was registered after shopping.

(By the way: everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)

The first half hour is even free

But how much does it actually cost to switch from a car to a cargo bike?

“The first 30 minutes are free, then you have to pay 1.50 euros for every half hour started.

The bike can also be reserved 15 minutes in advance via the app,” explained the mobility officer to the numerous interested parties who wanted to test whether their purchases would fit in the storage space after the green weekly market.

"Well, I'm going to borrow one of those bikes - the ride on it is really wild," was the summary of Hannes Einberger (22) from Freising.

What Lochen prophesied to guests: "The kids love it - they'll want to ride it again and again once they're in it!"

Good to know

Anyone who would like to rent a cargo bike can do so at the following stations: Am Steincenter, Rindermarkt, Eichendorfstrasse, Am Wörth, Fresch adventure pool, Lerchenfeld middle school, TUM and Pullinger Kirche.
