Founded in November 2016, Medina Bike already boasts 5,000 users and a partnership with the Moroccan government.
Bike share programs aren’t just intended to provide an active mode of transportation for moderate distances; they’re also meant to cut down on car usage, thereby reducing carbon emissions and helping to stave off global warming.
Just in time for the COP22 climate conference, the medieval Moroccan city of Marrakech recently debuted a robust bike-sharing scheme that makes 300 bicycles distributed across 10 ren- tal kiosks available for 24/7 public use.
With 320 brand new bicycles docked in 10 key landmarks and available 24/7, the environmental friendly project also taps into an old cycling tradition in the city.
Moroccans claim you can identify someone as a true Marrakech local if they own a bicycle. The streets of this north African city were once full of ardent cyclists, but in recent decades they’ve been overtaken by scooters and cars that swarm the city’s congested roads.
You can take a Medina Bike in one of our station all around the city. Be careful Ferblantiers station (6) and the railway station ( gare ) are unavailable at the moment. Check out our Bike map for updates.
For information you can meet us at our shop at the COP22 station ( green zone entrance) from 9.30 to 6 pm.
