Ready to make the SHIFT? Take the pledge to ride your bike every day for two weeks! You may find that cycling becomes second nature, with benefits for your health, your wallet, and your overall sense of well-being.
Starting Friday, May 2 at 5:00 PM, the volunteer organizers are excited to kick off another season of SHIFT, a free 2-week bike lending program designed to get more people moving by bike.
This season, SHIFT Start/Switch Days will take place every other Friday at 5:00 PM, making it easier for downtown workers to bus or carpool to work in the morning and bike home after picking up the bike. When returning a bike, people can then bus or carpool afterwards.
