Where Should Memphis Put Our Bike Share Stations?

Where Should Memphis Put Our Bike Share Stations?

When Memphis' bike share program launches in March, where should they put the stations? Explore Bike Share is giving Memphians the chance to pick where you can pick up and turn in these bikes.

All you have to do is click on the map here to mark your suggested locations.

If you're not familiar, a bike share program is a fleet of bikes that you can self-pay to rent out from stations, then return to any other station. They have these in tons of other cities - usually they're named after a sponsor, i.e., Citi Bike.

The stations might look something like the graphic above (provided by DCA). Anyways, the important part is that you go now to the website and drop virtual pins on locations where you think a station would be most helpful. The team that's putting together the program is using this to plan where the first stations will be.

If you want to read more, you can read past posts here and here. It's easy to make your station suggestions, and then you can see where everyone else has picked and "like" those, too.

Don't forget to submit your own bike share station ideas:

Waste of time (and money). Memphis is not a biking community. They tried opening up bike lanes along Riverside drive a couple of years back (closing off two of the car lanes) .... most days not a single bike on them (according to the city). I'll post again after they rip these things out .... You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Now if you expanded Gus' downtown restaurant .... then you would see some movement!!

Thanks for sharing your opinion, Preston. I'm hoping for the best. And more Gus' is always a good idea!
