On Tuesday the Fairmont Park Board again heard a request from Project 1590’s Kids Just Want to Have Fun committee to support a new bike share program. Members of the committee first pitched the idea to the Park Board in July of 2022.
Committee member Betsy Tino said that the company the committee is looking at is called On Bike Share, which has been in business for 20 years and has bikes in over 500 locations.
“The bike share program involves premium trail bikes with smart locks, docking stations, an app for your phone and technical support,” Tino said.
She said the bikes need to be docked on concrete and that they are seasonal and recommend for use from Memorial Day through Labor Day and stored the rest of the year.
