Livable Berkeley Bike Sharing Committee

Bring bike sharing to Berkeley! Livable Berkeley has formed a committee with UC Green Bike Share http://greenbikeshare.net/ to develop a bike sharing program for the campus and the city. Bike sharing is an alternative transportation program where bike kiosks are set up at intervals along major corridors and riders can pick up and drop off bicycles in seconds. Be a part of this project to put a great idea into action in Berkeley! The next meeting of the committee is will be in late July. Contact info@livableberkeley.org to rsvp.
