Cleveland’s fledgling bike share program could expand 10-fold or more next year, with a large stable of rental bikes in place by the time visitors arrive for the Republican National Convention and need a way to get around the central city.
The advocacy group Bike Cleveland is leading a push for a downtown and University Circle bike network that would be ready by spring 2016, with 500 to 850 bikes at 50 to 85 stations in the two districts. Bike rental stations in other Cleveland neighborhoods and suburbs would follow, if the program blossoms the way supporters hope.
“The convention is a good excuse to get this up and running, but we also want to see this as a long-term fixture in the county for all sorts of people to use,” said Mike Foley, Cuyahoga County director of sustainability.
