Our next bike on the suspended Velodrome is a ‘nextbike’, one of Glasgow’s famous bike-share bicycles used in Glasgow over 1200 times from 2014 until 2017. This ‘SmartBike Comfort’ was one of 435 bike-share bicycles operated by nextbike UK in partnership with Glasgow City Council from the scheme’s launch in 2014.
Covering the rear wheel are two advertising panel ‘wings’: on one side, the iconic ruby-coloured ‘People Make Glasgow’ logo, and on the other, a message from Glasgow On The Move – ‘Have you seen the price of fuel lately? No, us neither.’ Once it retired it had travelled a total of 1505 miles!
