Our origins go back to 2022, when a partnership was struck between the SNCF and the CEPI (Clubs des Entreprises pour l’Insertion), in order to instigate gentle mobility schemes at Mulhouse train station, most notably in the form of providing a hiring and guard service. From this partnership, and the support of Sitram, Locacycles (Mediacycles’ former name) was established with 3 youth employment contractors and 25 bicycles provided by Mulhouse town hall. Later that year, with the dissolution of the “Ambiance” association, Locacycles was given the role of SNCF transport mediator. Another partnership, struck in 2006 with Kunegel/LK Tours, allowed Locacycles to grow its activities by providing a mediation service within the school transport networks of Saint-Louis, as well as providing support for mentally impaired people with the public transport systems. In 2007, we started out vehicle maintenance service for Citiz. In 2010, having realised that our mediation services now represented a large part of our work and turnover, it was decided that we would undertake a name change to better represent this and thus, MEDIACYCLES came into being.
