One year on, Pyongyang bike share scheme still inactive

Despite claims in Pyongyang Times, bike share scheme doesn't appear to have launched

Almost a year after experimental use of a new bicycle sharing scheme began in Pyongyang, the program is still yet to effectively launch, multiple sources told NK News.

Individually numbered green and yellow bicycles emblazoned with both English and Korean "Ryomyong" logos were standing mostly unused in multiple photos seen by NK News from March and April.
