New York City has done a good job in recent years to encourage cycling instead of driving<\/a> in the city. Bike lanes and paths have been created and new policies have been instituted to protect cyclists and pedestrians, but the city may be planning the biggest encouragement yet: a huge bike-sharing program.<\/p>\n
The proposed program, created by Mayor Bloomberg and Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, would start with 10,500 bikes availabe for rent and then quickly spread to 49,000 bikes, similar in scale to the successful Paris Vélib’ program<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Other details like station locations, timing, etc. aren’t available yet, but we’ll be excitedly awaiting more news.<\/p>\n
