SPARTANBURG, S.C. -
Annual members of B-cycle, Spartanburg's bike-sharing program, can now check out a bike at any B-cycle location across the country.
To rent a bike from a B-cycle location in another city you need to have both your B-card and the credit card that is linked to the account. Annual members of B-cycle, Spartanburg's bike-sharing programs, can now checkout a bike at any B-cycle location across the country. Simply visit a kiosk in the new city and select "No" on the screen which asks if you would like to purchase 24-hour Access and then swipe your credit card associated with your account. After that first visit you can simply use your B-card throughout that city.
Anne Piacentino, Active Lifestyles Coordinator for Partners for Active Living, says that "we have seen such a great response with our system and are really looking forward to sharing Spartanburg and B-cycle with visiting members."
In under two years more than 4000 trips have been taken on Spartanburg's B-cycles.
B-cycle has more than a dozen bike-share programs throughout the country including locations in Nashville and Charlotte.
Annual memberships are $30 and a student discount is available. They can be purchased at www.bcycle.com.
