Boston’s Bike Czar Nicole Freedman
has achieved her goal to make Boston a biking city. Boston Mayor Thomas
Menino has announced that his fair city, previously known as the worst
cycling city in the country, will be getting one of the nation’s first
public bike sharing systems, dubbed “Hubway,” from BIXI Bikes
and the Public Bike Sharing Company. To be launched in early July,
Boston’s bike sharing system will offer the public a green alternative
to car share systems
already in place and will work in a similar way. Customers can pick up a
bike from any bike sharing station, then return it to any other station
in the system.
