Give bike-sharing a test drive

B-Cycle will be among three vendors participating in Metro's bike-sharing demo Wednesday.

They share bikes in Paris and Portland, so why not here?

Metro’s inviting the public to a bike share demonstration on Wednesday, January 18.

The agency currently is looking into whether to adopt a bike share program offering short-term bicycle rentals through an automated system, such as a computerized kiosk. (See the motion by Metro board members Zev Yaroslavsky, Pam O’Connor and Antonio Villaraigosa here.)

Three vendors will roll out their bikes for the demonstration at Metro headquarters downtown. The event runs from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. For more information, click here.
