Downtown bicycle system would be good for OKC - William F. O'Brien - Edmond Sun
"As documented in a recent article in the New York Times, the city of Paris, France, now has a system in place that allows citizens and visitors to rent bicycles for one day or for one week that can be found at a thousand locations in that city. The bikes are situated at docking stations and can be rented by swiping a credit card on a machine located on the stations, and they can be returned to any of those stations as well. The borrowers are charged a deposit fee that is refunded to their individual credit card accounts when the bicycle is returned. Some visitors now are utilizing those bicycles to explore the French capitol in an individual way that could not be done in a car or on a tour bus.
A similar system, with docking stations being located along the Oklahoma River with its 13 miles of trails, and at places such as the Bricktown site where passengers will disembark from the River, would be good for Oklahoma City. Visitors would be able to pedal their way to amenities such as the Civic Center and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Oklahoma City residents could use the system as a way to explore Bricktown and see in greater detail the rebirth of downtown, the MidCity area and Automobile Alley."
I'm new to OKC and am considering purchasing a bike to ride around OKC on the other side of the cold weather, but the city doesn't immediately strike me as bicycle friendly. Any thoughts from cyclists or others?
