VRNradboxen introduced at Wiesloch-Walldorf station

New VRNradboxen bicycle storage units have been inaugurated at the Wiesloch-Walldorf station to facilitate easier transitions between cycling and public transport. The initial installation consists of a two-story facility featuring twelve units on the Wiesloch side, with plans to potentially expand to the Walldorf side.

The lockable boxes protect bicycles from theft and weather. They offer flexible rental options, allowing users to rent them on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis via electronic access. The facility utilizes a sustainable design, incorporating an integrated photovoltaic module that provides solar power to the system.

The project cost approximately 55,000 euros, funded equally by the Zweckverband Metropolpark Wiesloch-Walldorf and the VRN GmbH. The boxes also feature a local design motif depicting landmarks from both Wiesloch and Walldorf, such as the Astorhaus and local churches.
