In what could be an important step towards creating a more bike-friendly city, Tallinn has opened its first three public bike rental points.
The rental stands, two in or adjacent to Old Town, and the other in Kadriorg Park, are designed to let cyclists take advantage of new bike paths that are being developed in the city, the municipal press service said.
The seasonal service is being operated by the private company City Bike and will remain open through the end of August.
Critics however had earlier expressed skepticism over such plans, saying that the bikes would likely only be used by foreigners, and that the municipal government was only launching the points to create jobs as part of its "Tallinn Helps" employment program.
