Denver is getting a bicycle-sharing program next summer.
Some 500 bikes will be available this summer at 30 to 40 stations around Denver, the city said in a news release today.
The program — dubbed Denver B-Cycle — got initial funding from a $1 million donation from the Denver 2008 Convention Host Committee.
"The positive feedback we received from the bike sharing program during the 2008 Democratic National Convention was remarkable," Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper said in a statement. "We are confident Denver B-Cycle will prove equally popular while improving our fitness levels and our environment. Our 358 miles of bike routes and trails combined with our 300 days of sunshine make Denver the perfect city in which to launch this citywide bike sharing system."

They have a program that is similar in Ashland Oregon, about 40 minutes from where I live. Some people respect the bikes and some don't. People keep donating used bikes to keep the program working. Just park em anywhere and first come first serve. Really cool!
