Riding your bicycle through Maastricht is lovely. No mode of transportation takes you through the city center faster than a bike. You are moving your body, you get to see the environment around you and you don't have to spend a single cent on gasoline. Moreover, you do the city a favor when you take the bike instead of the car: you keep the air clean and you ensure that the streets, squares and parks remain car-free. Totally #posifiets!
If you’re #posifiets and you mind others on the road, you’re doing a lot of people a favor. The local entrepreneurs love it when you follow the rules and park your bicycle correctly. That deserves a special thank you! Several cafés and restaurants, a bicycle mechanic and a bicycle rental facility have fun offers, especially for cyclists.
Your bike is the means of transportation that gets you the closest to your destination in the heart of the city! Throughout the center of Maastricht, you come across many bicycle racks and spots, easy to find thanks to the green signs. Are you staying in the city for the entire day? Feel free to use the large indoor bicycle parking facilities: near the Markt, underneath ’t Vrijthof, at the Kesselskade or in front of the train station. This way, you’ll keep your bicycle safe from theft or damaging and you’ll make sure that the city streets are accessible to everyone. Win-win!
You can also enjoy the benefits of cycling when you have to go out in the dark. Just make sure that you are visible! Check if your bike lights are working when you leave home and don't forget to turn them on when it gets dark. Much safer for you and your fellow road users.
Being #posifiets is making yourself and others happy on your way through the city. You ride your bike with your head in the wind instead of in your phone, you walk next to your bike when the shops are open en you donate your old bike to the Bicycle Exchange, so it can be of use to someone on a small budget. With just a few small behavioral adjustments, you’ll contribute greatly to safe streets, a cleaner environment and a nice atmosphere in the city. Once you’ll get the hang of the feeling, you’ll never want anything different.
From 3 November onwards, students can hand in their redundant bicycle at the university locations: Tapijn and Randwyck. This way, your redundant bicycle gets a new owner.
Take the bike to the centre of Maastricht. Then you will be treated to special offers at local entrepreneurs.
