The first 160 Pibal bikes come to Bordeaux
On Monday, July 7th at 5pm, the City of Bordeaux and its mayor Alain Juppé handed the first Pibal to Bordeaux’s residents - 20 of 160 first users received a scooter-like bike in the courtyard of the Hotel de Ville.
To select the first 160 urban cyclists to enjoy a Pibal, the City of Bordeaux has organized an online lottery competition, to which more than 700 people took part.
Since January 2012, Bordeaux inhabitants are invited to join in the development of this urban revolutionary ergonomy bike, designed by Starck and manufactured by Peugeot for the city of Bordeaux.
In November 2013, the pre-series appeared in the city, enabling Bordeaux’s residents to discover and test the Pibal.
Soon, the Pibal bikes will replace the entire 4000 classic bikes that the City of Bordeaux has been provided free of charge for almost 15 years.
