Madison's first bike-share stations to open Sunday
Six stations with rental bikes available through Trek's B-cycle operation will open in Madison on Sunday, according to this report.
Wisconsin's capital city joins 10 other locations in the U.S. offering the short-term bike rentals. A B-cycle rental program opened Friday in Boulder, Colo.
According to the report from Channel 3000, an annual pass for unlimited rides of 30 minutes or less will cost $65 and just $45 for students. Weekly passes are $30. Any rides beyond 30 minutes will cost an additional $2 for the second 30 minutes, $3 for another 30 minutes and $4 for every 30 minutes beyond that.
The full build out of the bike-share in Madison is expected to include 350 bikes stationed at 35 locations.
Trek is paying for the infrastructure and the city will contribute $1 annually, in a deal renegotiated by Mayor Paul Soglin.
