Complimentary air pumps available for bike riders
The city of Essen, Germany, has introduced a new service for cyclists, making cycling easier and more attractive. As part of the "Haste mal Luft?" project, free air pumps are now available for loan at many local libraries in Essen.
This initiative is a step towards improving the quality of life in Essen and a contribution to a climate-friendly city. The libraries aim to contribute to sustainable mobility with this innovative service.
The libraries in Essen see themselves as places of encounter and exchange, and this initiative is another way to show that they are more than just places for books. They view the cooperation as an enrichment and want to contribute to sustainable mobility.
RadEntscheid Essen, a local cycling advocacy group, is excited about the partnership with the Essen libraries. This collaboration is a continuation of the "Haste mal Luft?" project, which aims to make Essen more bike-friendly.
To find the most accurate and up-to-date information on which Essen libraries are participating in this initiative, consider the following steps:
- Check the official #HasteMalLuft project website or social media channels, which sometimes list participating locations and offer maps or directories.
- Contact the Essen public library system (Stadtbibliothek Essen) to inquire whether their branches participate in the #HasteMalLuft project or offer free air pumps.
- Local cycling groups or community forums might have compiled lists or recent updates from users sharing which libraries have free air pumps.
- Visit or call local library branches, especially central or larger ones, as they may be more likely to offer this service.
An overview of the locations and further information can be found on the project page: www.radentscheid-essen.de/haste-mal-luft. Here, cyclists can inflate their bike tires on-site at these libraries, providing a quick and easy solution. The air pumps can be borrowed free of charge during regular opening hours at participating libraries and other locations.
The Essen libraries are central hubs in the districts and offer a real added value with this service. This initiative is a continuation of the libraries' commitment to making Essen a more sustainable and livable city.
The libraries in Essen are not only places for books, but also aim to contribute to sustainable mobility by offering free air pumps for cyclists. This service is an addition to their commitment to making Essen a more livable city, reflecting a lifestyle that embraces home-and-garden sustainability and sustainable living. To find the libraries offering this service, cyclists can visit the official #HasteMalLuft project website, contact the Essen public library system, or check local cycling groups or community forums.
