Name
The name is derived from bici short Catalan and Spanish form for bicycle and the Airport code for Barcelona which is BCN. As well the English continuous ending of -ing is used for other means of transport in Spanish like footing (a pseudo-anglicism used for jogging), parking (car park), camping (campsite) and vueling, which is a Catalan airline. Due to the hybrid nature of this Spanglish neologism, few of Bicing's English-speaking users can agree on how to pronounce it.
