Philly, are you ready for Bike Share?
Great news that we’ve all been waiting for… Bike Share is coming THIS Thursday, April 23rd.
Bike Share will be available in Philly, 24 hours a day in 70 locations including neighborhoods like Point Breeze, Passyunk and Center City to Yorktown, Olde Kensington, Francisville and Spruce Hill.
According to the MOTU press release, Indego is the first bike share system in the USA to offer:
The folks at Indego were nice enough to let me borrow a bike on Saturday to explore Northern Liberties/Fishtown with two-wheels. After all, I had to answer the question: Where will Indego take you?
Being a previous Northern Liberties resident – and wanting to get out on the beautiful day, I loved taking Indego for the convenience and fun of being on a bike.
I started off by swinging by where a bike share station will go, on 9th & Girard.
Although you’ll want to drop off your bike at the nearest station (with 70 to choose from, it relieves you from the stress of locking it up. But how sweet is this appropriately-themed cactus bike stand for your bike-owning friend while enjoying tacos?
I took a quick spin to Liberty Lands park, and chatted with fellow parkgoers enjoying the beautiful weather.
Next, I rode over to the Piazza to check out the game being broadcast on the big screen.
They were hard at work to get the bike share ready for this Thursday!
My entire journey lasted under an hour – which is how a few of the bike share memberships are calculated.
Psyched to take the journey yourself?
You can get three levels of membership (or two levels, plus one none-membership level.)
You can become a member now by signing up on the Indego website.
