BEING FIRST IS NOT EASY!
Phoenix bike-share program likely delayed until fall
The first launch date for Phoenix's much-
anticipated bike-share program was
scheduled for December, 2013.
What came then was a pilot launch for 20
bikes. Residents were told that the official
launch would be in April, 2014.
But April, which is Valley Bike Month, came
and went with no launch.
At that point, 200 neon-green bikes that
city leaders and bicycle advocates hoped
would be filling the streets were sitting in
storage waiting to be ridden.

BIKE RACK OPTIONS
The bike share systems in other Cycle Hop cities such as Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Santa Monica, San Ramon, and Ottawa were all modeled after Phoenix.
The current design was based on “modular systems” allowing quick and non invasive installations with ability to expand or reduce based on user patters to optimize system performance.
This rack system is secure for public environments without the need to drill or anchor into city property (or private).
