The bike sharing program runs about $75 a year and then depending on trips there can be extra mile fees which still makes the program out to be very cost efficient as well as convenient since they don’t have to have a place to store the bikes or worry about maintaining them. A study done by a group from the Netherlands shows that the benefits substantially outweigh the negatives associated with biking such as exposure to air pollution, injury and sun exposure.
