B-Cycle Bike Rentals in Denver

A new community bicycle program is launching in incentaHEALTH’s backyard in Denver, Colorado.  The program—similar to programs running in several European cities—allows anyone to do a short-term bike rental whenever they need to get around.  This is a great way to make it easy for people to integrate physical activity into their day.

Below is a video of a similar program operating in Paris since 2007.  It’s called Velib.  Based on Velib’s inital success (over 3.7 million rides in the first two months of the program according to NPR), the B-Cycle program should be warmly embraced here in Denver.
