New car-shaped bicyle rack is installed in Europort Road, Gibraltar

The Ministry for Infrastructure and Planning has installed a new-style car-shaped bicycle rack at Europort Road, an area that has fast become Gibraltar's main cycling hub.

The frame is in the shape of a car, as a reminder that up to ten bicycles can be parked in a space normally taken up by a single car and to encourage more people to cycle instead of drive.

The Minister for Transport, Paul Balban, says that fewer cars on the road can only be a good thing for Gibraltar and good for the environment.
