I don’t have much experience with bicycles to be honest. Like most little kids, I had my fair share of bikes, and I enjoyed pedaling around. But living on a major road in the middle of nowhere, pedaling around in a circle in my backyard eventually got boring. Yet, I imagine if I was forced to live in the city, I’d be biking a whole lot more.
Due to the generally higher concentration of people in Europe, many European cities have already implemented bike sharing programs, but the idea hasn’t really caught on in the U.S. yet. Could things be changing? On Earth Day, B-Cycle is opening what they claim is the U.S.’s first city-wide bike sharing program in Denver, Colorado.
