What is Pin Bike?
Pin Bike is the sustainable mobility program promoted by the that concretely rewards those who choose the bicycle as their daily means of transport. Born within the framework of sustainable urban mobility policies, Pin Bike represents a concrete step towards a greener, more livable city with less car traffic congestion.
Thanks to a dedicated app and a small GPS device to attach to your bicycle, every bike trip is automatically tracked and converted into points. These points can be redeemed for prizes, discounts, and exclusive benefits at the project’s partner locations — including, with great pride, Cicli Sergio Bianchi.
How Pin Bike works: step-by-step guide
Participating in Pin Bike is simple and free. Here’s how to get started:
- Download the Pin Bike app on your smartphone, available for both iOS and Android. The app is the heart of the system: it records your trips, shows your accumulated points, and lets you discover available prizes.
- Register for the program by entering your details and verifying your residence or domicile in the Municipality of Florence. Participation is open to all adult citizens.
- Pair the GPS device with your bicycle. The small Pin Bike sensor easily installs on the frame and communicates with the app via Bluetooth, ensuring precise and reliable tracking of every route.
- Pedal around Florence: every trip from home to work, every errand, every ride in the city is automatically recorded. You don’t have to do anything special — just hop on and pedal.
- Accumulate points based on kilometers traveled and the frequency of your trips. The more you pedal, the more points you earn.
- Redeem prizes at project partners, including Cicli Sergio Bianchi, where your points turn into real benefits for your bike and gear.
