easily!”

Did You Know? • A 4-mile bicycle trip keeps

approximately 15 pounds of pollutants out of the breathable, city air.

• Only 3 hours of riding a week lessens the risk of stroke and heart disease by 50%.

• Cycling can also increase lifespans, as an adult cyclist usually has a level of fitness equating to someone 10 years younger, and possesses the life expectance of someone 2 years above the average.

Locations & Pricing

Current locations:

EAST VILLAGE:

• St. Mark’s Church

• 8th Avenue and E. 5th Street

Pricing:

• Annual rental: $75

*If bicycles are not retuned within 24 hours, a $1,000 fee is charged. The objective of this project is to

establish a citywide bicycle-sharing system of nearly 75 bicycle-sharing stations, totaling to nearly 450 available rentable bicycles for transportation. However, before implementing this citywide project, the goal is to first establish a so-called “test area” to predict how successful the larger project will be.

The test area will first be to establish 2 bicycle-sharing stations in East Village of NYC, an area where there are not many subway stations in place for people to get around in. The first two stations will be located in separate sections of East Village, one near St. Mark’s Church, and one at the intersection between 8th Avenue and East 5th street.
