“B-connected” reciprocity initiative launches nationwide
(Madison, WI) B-cycle, one of the nation’s leading providers of bike sharing systems, is unveling its “B-connected” annual membership initiative between 15 of its B-cycle systems today. Starting today, Madison B-cycle annual members traveling to participating B-cycle systems across the U.S. can use their annual membership to check out bikes in any of the participating cities just as they do at home.
Participating B-cycle locations include:
Denver, CO
Boulder, CO
San Antonio, TX
Houston, TX
Spartanburg, SC
Charlotte, NC
Des Moines, IA
Kansas City, MO
Omaha, NE
Nashville, TN
Kailua, HI
Fort Worth, TX (new system opening spring 2013)
Salt Lake City, UT (new system opening spring 2013)
“B-cycle is excited to launch this one-of-a-kind program in participating B-cycle cities,” said Bob Burns, President of B-cycle, LLC. “B-connected provides unprecedented access to 15 B-cycle systems across the U.S., empowering annual members to experience visiting cities by bike versus by car. There’s no better way to explore a city than on a B-cycle.”
B-cycle piloted its initial B-connected functionality back in March 2012 between Denver and Boulder, CO. Madison joined the Colorado systems in September. This initiative proved successful, providing users with an added benefit to their annual membership.
“Madison members enjoyed the benefits of taking their B-cycle card to Colorado with them last year. Now with the expansion of B-connected, our users can enjoy B-cycle all over the United States,” says Claire Hurley, Madison B-cycle Manager.
