Free New York Bike Rental Introduces New Riders
When we reported on the competition to design a park for Governor’s Island in New York, the prospect of 3000 free wooden bikes left us in no doubt as to which entrant was our favorite. While the full park may still be in the design stages, the concept of free bikes on the island has actually manifested itself a little early, as this new film from StreetFilms shows. Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation (GIPEC), Transportation Alternatives and Bike and Roll have joined forces to create a bike share program, and every Friday between now and October 4th those bikes are free! What better way to get folks into biking than to let them try it in a safe environment, free of cars, and at no cost? As one interviewee put it “with the way gas prices are going, I think this is my next vehicle.” We certainly hope so.
