Bike Share Launches July 15

Bike Share Jackson Hole is Almost Here!
Starts Wednesday, July 15 through August 5

Friends of Pathways and the Town of Jackson are hosting a FREE three week bike share demo — testing out a transportation alternative that could alleviate traffic congestion, help supplement public transit and provide a healthy means of getting around town while reducing the valley’s carbon footprint. 

Bike Share Jackson Hole will launch at 5:30 pm on Wednesday, July 15, with an event at the Home Ranch ‘Main Hub,’ located at 210 North Cache Street. Participants will have the chance to test out the new smart bikes, riding to Snow King Mountain for Jackson Hole Live. Bike Share Jackson Hole officials will be on site to sign-up participants, answer questions and give tutorials. 

What’s Bike Share?
Bike sharing is a revolution in transportation, extending personal mobility through a network of publicly available bicycles that can be checked out using an app on your smartphone or online. Bike sharing complements existing public transit, providing connectivity by filling in the gaps where no other modes exist. It is a healthy, sustainable, and affordable form of public transportation. 

From July 15 – August 5, a fleet of bicycles will be available throughout Jackson, providing fast, easy and free access around town for locals and visitors!

How does it work?
It’s simple, convenient and FREE.

RESERVE: Find and reserve using the bike keypad interface, mobile app or website
RELEASE: Unlock the bike by entering your PIN 
RIDE: Zip to work. Cruise downtown. Meet up with friends.
RETURN: Lock it at a hub station or any public bike rack when you’re done 

Friends of Pathways will host the Main Hub at the Home Ranch Parking Lot for the duration of the demo. This will be the location to come see the bikes, sign a waiver, and get set up to use the program for the three weeks it will be in town. Bikes can also be picked up from four other conveniently located hubs. Interested users are encouraged to sign up in advance atfriendsofpathways.org/bike-share.

Why Bike Share?
Outsmart summer traffic & reduce congestion with this smart, fun and healthy transit option. Bike Share can be a new addition to the transportation options in Jackson during the busy summer months. This important demo gives locals the chance to experience a Bike Share system for free while also providing valuable feedback to community leaders!
