Dutch bike subscription brand Swapfiets is offering free trials to help Parisians cope with this week’s public transport strike.
Major disruption is expected on March 25 in the French capital with bus, metro, tram and rail services all likely to be impacted.
In a bid to keep the city moving, Swapfiets has announced a special offer – three-day test rides of their popular Original and Deluxe 7 models.
To take advantage of the limited time deal, customers are invited to sign up on the website, with bike pick-ups starting from Wednesday, March 23.
Swapfiets’ concept of hassle-free bike subscriptions has been gaining momentum in Paris, offering a great alternative to buying your own bicycle or using a shared micromobility vehicle.
With a Swapfiets subscription, members get their own bike for a fixed monthly price with maintenance, repairs and insurance all included.
The number of cyclists in Paris has grown by around 70 percent in the past two years thanks largely to investment in cycling infrastructure. It is estimated that up to 15 percent of all trips in the French capital are now made by bicycle.
Cycling is the most sustainable way to get from A to B and Swapfiets makes it even greener by applying a model of circular economy to its products. For example, a Deluxe bike is already 82 percent circular with the brand committed to creating 100 percent circular bikes by 2025.
About Swapfiets
Over Swapfiets
Swapfiets is 's werelds eerste ‘bike as a service’ bedrijf met een circulair businessmodel. Opgericht in 2014 in Nederland, groeide de scale-up snel uit tot een van de meest toonaangevende leveranciers van micromobiliteit in Europa, met inmiddels meer dan 270.000 leden in Nederland, Duitsland, België, Denemarken, Frankrijk, Spanje en het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Swapfiets streeft naar meer leefbare Europese steden, een 100% circulaire productlijn en wil in 2025 klimaatneutraal zijn. In oktober 2022 trad Swapfiets officieel toe tot de B Corp gemeenschap om hun missie te verstevigen.
Het concept van Swapfiets is vrij eenvoudig: voor een vast bedrag per maand hebben Swapfiets-leden altijd een werkende fiets. En zijn er onverhoopt problemen, dan wordt de fiets binnen 48 uur gerepareerd of direct vervangen zonder extra kosten. Swapfiets is in Nederland beschikbaar in meer dan 50 plaatsen. www.swapfiets.nl
