| Tο Αίγιο κάνει ποδήλατο! |

Με μεγάλο ενθουσιασμό έχει γίνει δεκτό το Σύστημα Κοινόχρηστων Ποδηλάτων στον Δήμο Αιγιαλείας, όπου ξεκίνησε πιλοτικά τη λειτουργία του από τα μέσα Απριλίου 2013. Οι εγγραφές έχουν ξεπεράσει τις 200, αριθμός πολύ μεγαλύτερος από άλλους δήμους (μεταξύ αυτών και δήμοι με μεγαλύτερο πληθυσμό), και το ενδιαφέρον είναι πολύ μεγάλο, ιδίως από τις νεότερες ηλικίες. Στον Δήμο Αιγιαλείας λειτουργούν τρεις Σταθμοί ποδηλάτων, στην πλατεία Αγίας Λαύρας, στα Ψηλά Αλώνια και στο Τουριστικό και έχουν καθημερινά μεγάλη κίνηση.
