Human Powered Mobility (HPM)
This term is synonymous with muscle-powered movement. HPM was an integral part of the Expo.02 transport concept: visitors had to be able to get from one Arteplage to another without using a motor vehicle, for example by bicycle, boat or pedalo, on foot or on rollerblades. With this offer, Expo.02 encouraged the use of environmentally-friendly means of transport.
Bike Station
The Bike Stations offered all the services and information needed to ensure that visitors to Expo.02 could enjoy their bike or rollerblade ride in complete relaxation and without any problems. HPM vehicles could be hired from a Bike Station and returned to any other Bike Station. The Bike Station, staffed by specialists, ensured that rental vehicles were always clean and in perfect technical condition. The Bike Stations were located near the arteplages of Biel-Bienne, Murten-Morat, Neuchâtel, Yverdon-les-Bains (always close to the main entrance) as well as in Anet, at the intersection of the HPM route network and at selected outdoor stations (e.g. Tipi Tent Villages and other accommodation).
