Bicycle sharing, in its most traditional sense, consists ofself-service rental kiosks strategically placed around a city'surban core with bikes available for short-distance trips. Programsare often cited in creating connectivity between destinations, suchas a train station and a downtown district a few miles apart. Bikescan be automatically checked out with a credit or membership cardand be returned to a different station near the user's destination.Prices are meant to encourage short-term commutes, not day-long joyrides. Anaheim's one-year pilot program with Tustin-based Bike Nation will host 10 bikes at 10 sites, including at the Metrolink/Amtraktrain station (where Angel Stadium is also located), conventioncenter, City Hall, and the Anaheim Resort district near Disneyland.The first kiosk will be unveiled on Saturday in downtown (Harborand Lincoln) near Center Street Promenade at 10 a.m.
The remaining sites will open shortly after -- "It could be a weekor two" -- said city of Anaheim spokesperson, Ruth Ruiz. Bike Nation membership, which can be purchased for as low as $6 fora day or up to $75 for a year, is required before customers cancheck out bikes, and there will be costs on top of that: free forthe first 30 minutes, $1.50 for up to 60 minutes, $4.50 up to 90minutes, and then $6 every additional half hour. "The usage feesfor the bicycle share system are incentivized for turnover andtrips of less than 30 minutes in duration," explained a city pressrelease, which also says the program will run at no cost to thetaxpayer. Anaheim will not be the only city with this kind of bike sharingprogram for long. The Orange County Transportation Authority isworking on one in neighboring Fullerton and a program is slated forSan Francisco and the Bay Area within several months.
Los Angeles,which is also partnering with Bike Nation, is expected to launchits own program later this year. Bicycle sharing, but in a limited capacity and not on a city orregional level, can currently be found on the campuses of UC Irvineand San Diego; Fresno State; and Cal Poly Pomona and nearby PitzerCollege. Bicycle "libraries" exist at UCLA, UC Davis , and Arcata . And different kinds of bicycle sharing -- but not in thetraditional sense -- can be found at the Santa Monica Bike Center and a handful of Bikestation locations around the state, including Long Beach and SantaBarbara.
