Dayton's bike sharing program is officially open for business. "Link" launched Tuesday at noon. There are 225 green bicycles spread across 24 stations throughout downtown Dayton.
Link is part of B-cycle, the same parent network as Cincy Red Bike, so memberships are good in both cities.
Yearly memberships cost $65 and 24-hour passes are five bucks. There are also monthly and semester membership options.
In March, Bike Miami Valley's Laura Estandia spoke with Ohio Public Radio member station WYSO:
Laura Estandia with Bike Miami Valley says the goal of the program, known as “Link”, is to promote more active lifestyles in the city. “This is a transportation tool for downtown that’s going to link together different areas of interest...it’s going to do a lot for the connectivity of our region,” she said. Estandia says once the program is underway, Bike Miami Valley will advocate for new bike lanes on downtown streets.
