Cykla Gul received funding from Mötesplats’ idepeng at the end of 2018. It was an initiative started by Nikola Matakovic, (Dave) Yang Yong Kang and Rob Curran to bring bikes that were left unused from Gothenburg to Dals Långed in order to reuse and provide them to the community here. The funding allowed for transport, parts, paint and labour to complete 8 bikes and to begin a trial run by providing the bikes to borrow free of charge. 

 

Some of the bikes are old and some quite new. The initiative is to provide a shared economy and allow those without a bike to travel and explore the area. It is important to note that behind the bikes themselves are the ideas of creating value from something old or unused and  to fix and maintain what is useful so that it can last to provide a service to the community.  

 

From the initial trial it was clear that an easier system was needed to administrate the bikes and also to find a visible and dedicated station for the bikes. Without these the project could not function well.Cykla Gul has now progressed with the installation of an app operated key box located outside the new and exciting Studio Växt. The bikes now have a home and easier accessibility thanks to the support of Motesplats, Fyrbodal kommunalförbund and Dals Långeds Utvecklingsråd.

With a membership fee of just 100kr per year the bikes are available to use any time for up to 3 days at a time. The number of uses is unlimited for the year. 

 

GoRide the provider of the key box has an easy to use app that you must download and register to access the bike service. Here you can read the terms of use and find clear instructions how the system works.
