Going west, it follows Salisbury Road, Salisbury Place, Grange Court, Sciennes Road and Warrender Park Road, before carving out the south end of the Links.
Completing the boundary of the coverage area, it runs up Viewforth, along Dundee Street, and then in a roughly straight line between Murdoch Terrace and Magdelena Crescent.
Bosses at Voi have said they will avoid the same fate as Edinburgh’s last cycle hire scheme, which collapsed under the cost of maintenance and vandalism.
Bikes were often thrown in the Water of Leith or other bodies of water, and that scheme – which was also meant to run at no cost – ended up costing £1.8m.
Managers have said Voi’s bikes are sturdier than those used by the old Just Eat scheme, and have benefited from technological advances since its failure four years ago.
