Oklahoma City’s own bike share program kicks off on the National Bike to Work day, Friday, May 18, 2012. How’s that for timing!

Many cities throughout the U.S. have established bike share programs, and it’s a sign of the growth of Oklahoma City’s downtown that bike sharing and biking in general are being promoted.

It makes sense; helping with traffic flow and parking, both of which are common problems in most downtown urban areas.

Spokies will offer daily, monthly and annual membership options – all of which entitle the user with unlimited rides throughout the duration of their membership.

Membership rates are: 5$ daily, $20 monthly or $75 annually.

Bikes will be located at self-serve kiosks throughout the downtown area:

• The Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library

• The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum

• Plaza Court in Midtown (on Walker between 10th and 11th streets)

• Deep Deuce at Walnut at 2nd St.

• South side of Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark

• Northeast corner of Reno and Robinson near Cox Convention Center

I can’t wait to try it out!
