Nashik: In an attempt to popularise the rent-a-cycle scheme, the civic body has decided to allow 30-minute free ride for the first five days after the inauguration of the project early next week. Hence, we will have some stations on Trimbak Road and Gangapur Road. The project was started on trial basis at Golf Club ground on Friday.The civic body has acquired a fleet of 200 bicycles that would be available at 10 locations. This will help workers use cycles on rent,” he said.The revenue collected through renting cycles will be spent on maintenance and repair of cycles, an official said. Those who park cycles at locations apart from cycle stations will have to pay penalty, an official said.“We will cover Satpur and Ambad industrial estates gradually..
