🇪🇸 Barcelona’s Bicing battle

Employees of Bicing, Barcelona’s bike sharing scheme, have announced that they will strike indefinitely, demanding higher pay. This strike will affect residents, as fleet availability will likely decline.

On the flip side, AMBici, the scheme inaugurated in 2023 to serve the wider Barcelona metropolitan area, has reached 1 million trips. Nextbike and AMB plan to expand the scheme further early in 2024.

And speaking of Barcelona…
