Vietnam's southern Can Tho city will offer public bicycle services on a trial basis to help minimize traffic congestion and protect environment.

First public bicycle services will be provided at sites which attract many visitors, including parks and islets, the municipal Transport Department said on Monday.

To use the services, people put money into machines, take GPS-enabled bicycles and later give them back at any parking lots. The department will create road corridors for cyclists.
