Zurich Offers Bike Stands with Free Coffee

As part of an initiative to encourage locals and tourists in Zurich to use bikes the government has teamed up with Rathaus Cafe to offer bikers a quick chance to refuel on free coffee at a number of bike stands.

Called Velokafi, the stands allow bikers to rest their bike in the stand while staying sat on the bike. Here they have a wooden desk and any bikers who use the stand will be offered a free coffee from the cafe.

It's part of the Government's efforts Stadtverkehr 2025 Program to accommodate the growing number of cyclists in the area.
