I’m working hard to teach my littles about riding bikes. And sharing. Right now the people at Lloyd TMA are thinking a lot about bikes and sharing, too. In fact, they want your feedback about a bike sharing program in the district. In their words:
Bike share systems provide short-term bike rental through a series of automated bike kiosks. Paying members check out a bike to ride short distances and then return it to any other kiosk in the system. Rates are set to encourage short-term use and quick turnover. Bike sharing increases mobility by providing an additional, flexible transportation mode. It has the potential to introduce new people to urban bicycling, reduce peak-hour pressure on transit, decrease automobile trips, and improve livability.
Those are some lovely potential outcomes. Is a bike sharing program something you’d like to see in the neighborhood? Something you’d use? Take a 2-minute survey and tell TMA what you think.
