This morning I'll be joining Ron McCorkle and the other fine volunteers and organizers of
Sharebike to get their bicycles ready for distribution across the Roanoke area this spring, where they will be avaialble for free community use. We'll be painting them safety yellow, so they'll share that with similiar
"yellow bike" programs around the world. You can get information about how the program works and where bike can be found at Sharebike's website or on the RIDE Solutions
Interactive Bike Map.
Having a program like Sharebike's will be a vital part of Roanoke receiving the League of American Bicyclists's "Bicycle Friendly Community" designation, a recognition program that I believe the City is making a go at. Support them all you can, and ride their bikes once they're on the streets!
I hope to get some video of the event today, so keep watching the RIDE Solutions
YouTube channel for that.
