A brief description of the program:

DU offers bike sharing as part of a city-wide program (Denver B-cycle). There are approximately 43 stations with 400 bikes in the Denver region, including 3 stations with 22 bikes on or adjacent to the University of Denver campus. DU was an early-adopter of the city bike sharing system and helped launch a pilot program in 2009 with two stations and 10 bikes. The pilot program was conducted to test technology and marketing strategy in closed systems (both at DU and at a City of Denver office) before city-wide launch in spring 2010.

The bike share system is open to the public, but requires a membership to use the bikes. Memberships may be purchased at daily ($5), weekly, monthly and annual ($65) rates. There is a reduced membership fee for students. Membership grants unlimited access to the bikes for the duration of membership (daily, weekly, etc). Use of the bikes once a membership is purchased is free for the first 30 minutes, with a sliding scale after that. A full-day use is $65, plus the membership fee.
