A brief description of the program:
The NYU Bike Share provides free short-term bicycle rentals to NYU students, faculty, and staff. The program was proposed and developed by a student-led Green Grant team, with funding, organizational and planning support from the NYU Office of Sustainability. It's founded on the idea that bicycling can be a safe, healthy, sustainable, and fun way to get around New York City. The Bike Share seeks to lower the barriers to entry (such as cost and inexperience) that prospective cyclists face at NYU.
The program has launched and was in a pilot phase during Summer 2010. Based on the success of the pilot, it is intended to grow with the needs of the university community.
As a Bike Share participant, you can display your NYU ID card to check out a lightweight Biria cruiser bikes from one of several convenient locations on campus, ride as much as you want, and drop the bike off at any other open location the same day.
To enroll in the program and gain access to unlimited bike rental participants must first attend a regularly-scheduled Bike Share safety training workshop and sign a liability waiver.
