Denver B-Cycle

Denver’s bike sharing program, Denver B-Cycle, came out of its winter hibernation on March 14th. In a creative effort to distribute the bikes across its system, as well as earn a ton of exposure, it invited its annual member to be part of the of St Patrick’s Parade. A friend, Andy, did a much better than I capturing images of the day, so see his blog for more pictures.

Pictured below is 250 bikes awaiting distribution


Riders en route to the staging area


We were the only bikes in the staging area, but there was no shortage of trucks. Note the license plate and the owner diligently waxing the vehicle.


Two days later, in a moment of self-identified bike nerdiness I walked the two blocks to the bike station nearest my apartment, all the while witnessing a beautiful sunrise…


…only to find an empty station!

Ho hum. I walked another four blocks to the next station and still only had a 17 minute commute door to door.
