Introducing Nice Ride -  A public bicycle sharing program

Coming to America via Minneapolis: Nice Ride Minnesota will launch a public bike sharing system - based on an internationally successful model - here in Minneapolis in May of 2010.

It’s easy:  Anyone can subscribe.  Take a bike from one kiosk and ride to another kiosk.  Anytime you need.

It’s where you want it:  1,000 bikes will be available in 80 secure, self-service kiosks throughout Downtown, the UofM Campus, and Uptown from April-November.

It’s fast:  Swipe a card at any kiosk and go!  Return the bike to a kiosk near your destination.

It’s fun:  Everyone is riding.  Get some exercise and have some fun on the way to your next appointment.

A new downtown:  2010 brings the completion of the  Access Minneapolis reconstruction of 2nd and Marquette avenues, miles of new bike lanes, the Northstar Commuter Rail, the Twins Stadium, and Public Bike Sharing.  Get ready to experience a new downtown next Spring.

Be part of it:  Helping Minneapolis lead the nation in creating active, accessible, forward-thinking cities.
