Bike Sharing Program possible for 2012

I finally got permission from my boss to say something about this :) In 2012, there are plans to experiment with a bike sharing program in the downtown area of Indianapolis :)

From what I understand, the bikes will be free, but you have to present a credit card or drivers license in order to borrow one, so they know who "checks" them out. There would be assorted mini-stations across the downtown area from which to check them out and return them. The idea is they would be used just in the downtown area.

That is all the information I can provide, but it sounds like an interesting opportunity! I do not know what kind of bikes will be available, and of course, things can change before then.

Outstanding! IU is starting one this spring!

That's pretty exciting! I wish Cincinnati would do something like that!!

that's great Catrin!

Wow- that's FANTASTIC!!! :D
I just read about the bike stations in London and watched a video about it- it's great!!! Keep us updated!

Very cool! A bike sharing program rolled out in Miami Beach a few weeks ago and 20,000 bikes have been shared since--it's not free though. It would have been nice if it were.

awesome!
