📋 Tender Overview
The València Joaquín Sorolla and València Nord stations already have secure parking for bicycles, an initiative with which Adif and Adif Alta Velocity contribute to promoting multimodality and sustainable mobility, by integrating clean transport models such as rail and bicycle .
The new parking lot responds to the Bicihangar Rocket model - designed, developed and manufactured by Don Cicleto -, which is prepared for intensive use and also protects bicycles from adverse weather conditions, theft and vandalism.
The modular, closed and covered parking lot has capacity for six bicycles and has low visual impact. The model is sustainable and energy autonomous and is powered by electricity generated by photovoltaic solar installations, which charges the batteries.
Next to this car park, four units of the 'inverted U' parking model are installed, free of charge for users. Depending on the behavior of demand, it is planned to increase the capacity of the facilities.
In addition, the car park has an intelligent opening system, thus avoiding the management of physical keys and minimizing energy consumption. Access control is carried out from the Don Cicleto app, from where the user can view the secure parking network and their availability in real time, register, reserve a space and manage payments.
An initiative that reaches 42 passenger stations
The València Joaquín Sorolla and València Nord stations are part of the 42 Adif and Adif AV facilities that incorporate this new service for travelers and citizens, based on the collaboration with the UTE Ecomilla Bicipark, made up of FCC Medio Ambiente, Don Cicleto and Benito Urban.
With this action, Adif and Adif AV contribute to the configuration of a network of bicycle parking that will promote their use in first and last mile trips and clean transport linked to tourism.
The initiative is launched after the success of the pilot experience implemented at the Madrid Chamartín Clara Campoamor station.
The installation of this type of infrastructure in railway stations is aligned with the mobility strategy of the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility and responds to the objectives of the agreement signed with the Red de Ciudades por la Bicicleta association for everyday mobility and mobility related to leisure and tourism
