■ Opening of a New Station in Sanban-cho, Matsuyama
Sanpuku Kaiteki Seikatsu Co., Ltd. (Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture) is scheduled to install a new share-cycle station for HELLO CYCLING in the Sanban-cho area of Matsuyama City in June 2026.
HELLO CYCLING is a bike-sharing service that allows users to easily reserve and use bicycles via a smartphone app. Users can search for nearby stations, rent available bikes, and return them to any compatible station, offering a high degree of mobility. The service is widely used for daily activities such as commuting, school runs, and shopping, as well as for tourism and city walks.
■ Annual Increase in Share-Cycle Users
In recent years, bicycles have become an essential means of transportation for daily life. However, social issues such as bicycle theft, abandoned bikes, and illegal parking have become nationwide problems. Share-cycle services, which allow users to rent a bike only when needed, are gaining attention as a solution to these challenges.
Driven by rising environmental awareness and improved convenience through integration with public transport, share-cycle usage is expanding across Japan. In Matsuyama City, it is becoming established as a new mode of transportation used for commuting, shopping, and sightseeing. Furthermore, usage by international students and foreign workers is on the rise, and the service is expected to serve as infrastructure supporting the mobility of the diverse population living in the region.
■ Growing Interest in Bicycles with 'Velo-city 2027'
In May 2027, the world's premier international cycling conference, 'Velo-city 2027,' is scheduled to be held in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture (at the Ehime Prefectural Budokan). With many stakeholders and visitors expected from both Japan and abroad, interest in bicycle-oriented urban planning and sustainable transportation is anticipated to grow further.
Anticipating these trends, the company will continue to expand the installation of share-cycle stations to improve the mobility environment for citizens and visitors alike.
