Bike for the customers in Nancy
Near the commercial center in Nancy you can see a strange vehicle, a bicycle with a shell to protect people from the rain. It can be used by the customers of Centre Commercial Saint-Sébastien and it is free.
I don't know when et how you can borrow it. This one was parked near the main entrance of the market. At least there is quite a big space to put bags. I wonder if you can also use it in pedestrian streets. And it seems a good idea if you have a young child who doesn't really like walking.
At the moment in Nancy all is done to prevent people from using their cars. Bus lines have been changed, street lanes reduced, taxis are proposed at the same price as a bus ticket in some parts of the town. If you don't have to carry heavy bags, walking is the best, you don't have to worry about one-ways.
Another point : I don't know the name of this bicycle, neither in French nor in English.
