Recruitment of Bike-Sharing Bases Starts in Matsuyama! Expanding HELLO CYCLING for the Global Cycling Conference 'Velo-city 2027 Ehime'

## Expanding HELLO CYCLING Stations
Sanpuku Kaiteki Seikatsu is developing and operating 'HELLO CYCLING' station installations in Matsuyama City. In preparation for the upcoming 'Velo-city 2027 Ehime,' we are working to expand our installation bases to further improve convenience.

We are currently seeking partners for installation in spaces such as:
- Central areas like shopping districts and office districts
- Vacant spaces in condominiums and apartments
- In front of stores or parts of parking lots
- Idle land
- Underutilized spaces within corporate premises

The service is easy to implement even in small spaces. Currently, 37 stations are operational in Matsuyama City.

Installing a station provides several benefits:
- Effective use of vacant space
- Regional contribution (participation in international events)
- Attracting customers by increasing visitors
- Enhancing brand value for companies and facilities

## World's Largest International Cycling Conference to be held in Matsuyama
From May 25 to 28, 2027, the world's largest international cycling conference, 'Velo-city 2027 Ehime,' will be held in Matsuyama City. (Location: Ehime Prefectural Budokan)

This is the first time this international event is held in Japan, and more than 1,000 experts and stakeholders from around the world are expected to visit. During the event, various programs are planned, including:
- International conferences on urban development using bicycles
- Exhibitions by companies and organizations
- Bicycle parades open to citizens
- Inspection tours

## Mobility Infrastructure Development Needed Now
Triggered by this international event, momentum for 'bicycle-friendly urban development' is growing in Matsuyama City. Particular challenges include 'last-one-mile' movement, such as short-distance travel for tourists, connection with stations and buses, and diversification of transportation in daily life. As a means to solve these issues, the importance of bike-sharing is increasing.

## Future Outlook
Sanpuku Kaiteki Seikatsu will contribute to improving mobility convenience and sustainable urban development in Matsuyama City through the expansion of 'HELLO CYCLING.' We will also continue to promote initiatives that enhance the overall appeal of the region, using 'Velo-city 2027 Ehime' as a catalyst.
