Cycle hire scheme （自行车租赁计划）extended across Newcastle

A city-wide (全城市的) bike hire scheme is being launched in Newcastle following the success seen in London.

From Friday branded bicycles will be available(可供使用) for short hire at 15 racks across the city with a further seven racks planned for the city's suburbs.

Users will be able to book the bicycles using their mobile phones once they have signed up to （注册）the scheme online.

It is all about spontaneity（自发性）

However, he said the scheme was not without its drawbacks（be not without drawbacks 不是没有坏处）saying the North East weather and "crazy drivers" were problematic.

NE1's operations director, Adrian Waddell, said: "City cycle schemes are a signature now of successful confident cities（be a signature of successful confident cities 是自信成功城市的标志）.

"We were amazed when we were walking through the Newcastle University campus and actually saw that Scratchbikes were already there and already doing it.

Rent and return

Rack locations in the city centre include Central Station, Haymarket Metro station, the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Monument and Quayside.

Users can rent the bicycle for two hours before returning it （归还）to one of the racks or re-booking it.

The secretary of the Newcastle Cycling Campaign, ClareProspert, warned the scheme would only work if there was more investment in the city's cycling infrastructure（投资自行车基础设施） which she believes is currently confusing.

She said: "[ Cities with successful schemes] have really good infrastructure, whether it's bike lanes(自行车道), whether it's a very permeable (渗透性的)city centre where cyclists and pedestrians （骑行者和行人）actually share space（permeable 的意思）."

She said traffic levels were a deterrent to （be adeterrent to 是….的阻碍）cycling in Newcastle but that she did not think cyclists using the scheme should have to wear helmets（戴头盔）.

She said: "Maybe I'm going to be controversial but actually I don't think this is a big issue."Everybody should be able to make their own kind of choice（可以适用于很多雅思话题，表达自由选择）, whether they want to wear a helmet or not. It shouldn't be provided by the scheme."

Mr Waddell agreed, saying the scheme was "all about spontaneity（自发性）".
