While walking in downtown Denver the other day, I saw the first evidence of the Denver Bike Sharing plan. The picture to the right was taken at the corner of 17th St. and Curtis in downtown Denver, next to the US Bank at 950 17th St. We first wrote about the bike plan last summer. Until now, little news or progress had been evident in the city. The first stations were installed in the past few weeks.
For information on Denver’s Bcycle program, click here. As with so many “eco-friendly” programs, Denver’s bike sharing endeavor will launch on April 22nd, Earth Day. Sign up online for either a 24-hour ($5), 30-day ($30), or year long membership ($65). Annual memberships are $45 for students. There are some restraints on picking up the bicycles. The system is not available from 11pm to 5am and during the winter (December, January, and February).
Combined with Google’s addition of biking directions, these biking sharing programs can help increase ridership.
