Gelnhausen, Deutschland - In Gelnhausen, the "Lararossa" initiative of the People for Future Gelnhausen/Main-Kinzig dared to take an innovative step towards environmentally friendly mobility. An e-cargo bike called "Lara Garden" is now available for free use. The cargo bike is located in a solar -powered bicycle garage on the Holzgasse Parkeck and can be picked up around the clock.
