The Voi bikes, now used by 58,000 people and covering nearly a million miles, have proven resilient against vandalism and are sparking healthier, more active lifestyles while boosting the local economy. Council and cycling advocates are thrilled as the city eyes even wider reach with these eco-friendly, app-controlled e-bikes. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
