Toulouse: a year after his departure, Indigo Weel will recover his abandoned bike
One after Indigo Weel shared bikes stopped in Toulouse, a bicycle was found on the public road. Indigo Weel will get her back.
It is a remnant of the famous Indigo Weel “white bikes”, rented in the streets of Toulouse between 2018 and the end of 2021. One year after the cessation of activity, following the fire at the Indigo Weel premises in Colomiers, a bicycle reappeared in perfect condition, parked on a sidewalk in Toulouse.

On boulevard Duportal, this bike is still parked today. It is suspended from street furniture, its tires are inflated, as if a user had left it there a few minutes earlier.
Its serial number is still visible, and has been sent to Indigo Weel. Who replied that the Indigo Weel application had been “inactive for a year”, so it is “impossible” that the bike was “regularly rented” by a user during this period.
“If the bike was stolen, it could have been used independently of the Indigo Weel app”
“The bike may have been there for a very long time, not rented, and simply not used. If the bike was stolen – which cannot be said categorically in the absence of a back office – it could have been used independently of the application,” the company further indicates.
“Despite the teams mobilized on site to ensure the removal, it is possible that this bicycle simply could not be located, either because it was not transmitting, because its position was not sufficiently precise, or because that he was stationed in a place without a network”. The local Indigo Weel teams will take care of recovering this bike and entrusting it to a local association in order to give it a second life.
