Denver becomes largest US city to try bike sharing
At about 40 locations around downtown Denver, you can pick up a bike, ride it somewhere else and drop it off. The “B-cycle” program began yesterday, on Earth Day. Bike sharing is a mode of community transportation that’s been tried in several European cities, and will be popping up in U.S. cities this summer; Denver is the first big American trial. Nathan Heffel, producer for jazz89 KUVO, checked in on the first day of Mile-High residents trying it out.
