A new program called B-Cycle is holding a national competition to pick some lucky cities to receive a bike sharing system. You might have heard of bike sharing systems like Paris’ Velib or Washington, DC’s SmartBike. They distribute bike stations all over the city. You just pick up a bike, ride it to your destination, and leave it at the nearest station. Fees are usually very reasonable and the billing is handled automatically.
B-Cycle is based on a popular bike sharing program in Louisville, Kentucky. So if Louisville can do it, there is no reason Kansas City can’t. So help bring bike sharing to KC by going to this web site and clicking on “I want it“ – just be sure enter Kansas City, Missouri and a KCMO zip code like 64111 so that we all count towards the same city.
