Well, these are tiny beginnings. So far, they've only committed €5,000 to this, for the first 100 people who come forward. It's all a question of how it develops. It is certainly true that as a lot of cycle trips are short, people often don't care about their bikes, butn the only reason why this is now in the news is because it parallels the Abwrackprämie for cars, which is currently a big topic in Germany. Ho hum.
