LIMERICK Coca-Cola Zero users could be in with a chance of winning one of two new bikes this Thursday in celebration of “Car Free Day”.
Coca-Cola Zero, the National Transport Authority and Limerick City County Council, have come together to celebrate the many thousands of persons who choose to cycle in our cities, especially for commuting to work or education.
Similar events will take place in Galway, Dublin and Cork this Thursday, as well as across European Cities with “In Town Without My Car” (or “Car Free”) day.
As part of the day, Coca-Cola Zero will have a series of pop-up cycle cafés at locations across Limerick City, where cyclists will be able to enjoy complimentary refreshments.
To celebrate the scheme, its regular Bike Share users and to encourage non-users, and attract new users, Coca Cola Zero and the National Transport Authority is promoting the Coca-Cola Zero Bike Scheme on 22nd September:
Anyone who uses a Coke-Zero Bike will be entered into a draw for a number of €500 bicycle vouchers across the cities.
There will also be an opportunity at the Cycle Hub on Bedford Row, to join as a new annual member free-of-charge.
Limerick City and County Council will set up a Cycle Hub (and Information Stand on the O’Connell Street redevelopment) at Bedford Row, from 12 noon till 3:00pm with a city cycle taking place at 1:30pm.
The Hub will also promote bike safety information from RSA/An Garda Síochána and the ‘Bike Doctor’ will be offering free consultations and basic repairs.
Coca-Cola Zero will be rewarding and refreshing users of the bike schemes in all cities including Limerick, for those who leave their car behind on Thursday.
Cycle-In Cafés will ‘pop-up’ on the streets of these four cities, where scheme users can pull in to enjoy some pastries, sandwiches and refreshments without ever leaving their bike.
Coca-Cola Zero has also arranged for some surprise goodies which will be found in the baskets of the bikes on the day.
