Hooray for Denver!!!

I just got back from Montreal last week and was blown away by their summer bike share program.  The program is amazing, it only costs $60 for the summer and you have access to bikes all over the city.  The best part is you can pick up a bike and ride to a different part of the city and drop it off.  You can visit the area and then when your done go get a bike and ride back home.  You don’t have to worry about locking up your bike or if plans change, you can get a ride home with friends and not have to worry about getting your bike home.  This program is a great way to get people moving and out of their cars.

Today, I was taking in the great day outside.  As I was tooling around town, I saw a Denver Bike Share Station, how amazing!  I am so excited for the program and Denver couldn’t be a better place for it.  We can be bike sharing almost all year long, hooray!!!

An annual membership is $65 and for a student it’s $45.  You can also purchase a 30 day, 7 day or 24 hour membership, but an annual membership seems to be the most economical.  Once you take out a bike you have 30 minutes to get to your destination and there is a small fee for every half hour after that.

The Denver Bike Sharing website has a map of bike stations so take a look at it and see if you can incorporate the program into your commute or weekend adventures.
