According to the mayor explained, "the municipality is full of 'ghost benches.' Usual users of public bicycles find empty benches one after another with assiduity.When we find a bench in which there are three or four bikes of the twenty or thirty that could be, all too often one of these is unusable or in a maintenance state that is dangerous to the user. "

Ayuso, who has visited the banks daily in recent days, has lamented "the serious lack of maintenance and replacement of public bicycles" and denounced "the lack of safety with which users circulate who dare to take some the bicycles that present problems in handlebars, saddles or brakes ".

"If we add to the phantom benches that many of the few available bicycles have braking problems, broken saddles, deviated handlebars or chains that go out easily, we found a system of renting bicycles more than deficient, nothing of a kind city ​​that aspires to be attractive for cyclists, "added the mayor.

"Ballesta and his team have an obligation to offer urgent solutions to this problem. The municipal bicycle rental service should be comfortable and efficient, and allow users to pick up and return bikes without problems. the bench but the system does not allow them to be removed or, on the contrary, does not allow them to be returned to a particular bench), find a vehicle without having to cross several benches and circulate safely. responsible company that must watch over the maintenance of the bicycles and their replacement. The PP government has the obligation to ensure that this responsibility is fulfilled by always looking for the well-being of the Murcia and Murcia. "
