The B-cycle demo team is coming to Pittsburgh!  BikePGH, as your local bike advocates, is exploring public bike-sharing as a means of alternative transportation, and you’re invited. In the past few years, cities like Denver, Minneapolis, and Washington DC have launched public access bike-sharing systems. People can check a bike out from a network of automated bike stations, ride to their destination, and return the bike to a different station. And now you get to try it out in Pittsburgh!

B-cycle, recently named by Fast Company as one of the 10 Most Innovative Companies in Transportation, was created to bring bike-sharing to communities around the US, and they have already launched in cities like Denver, Chicago, San Antonio, and Des Moines, and will be demonstrating the B-cycle system to the city of Pittsburgh in Market Square on Thursday, June 9th from 10am to 2pm during the Farmer’s Market.

WHAT

• Check a bike in and out just like you were a member of a B-cycle network in Pittsburgh

• Test-ride a B-cycle (if space permits during the crowded Farmer’s Market)

• Support cycling and alternative transportation efforts in Pittsburgh

• Respond to a city survey and let your voice be heard

WHERE

• Market Square

WHEN

• Thursday, June 9th, 10-2pm
