Wheels Up // NYC Bike Share Exhibition Opens TONIGHT At The Center For Architecture
Jan 11, 2012
It's 2012, and you know what that means? Well, lots of things—election year, leap year, Summer Olympics, end of Mayan calendar—but it's also the year that New York City gets its own bike share. The program is scheduled to launch this summer, but you don't have to wait until it's warm again to get in on the action. In fact, you can learn all about the program tonight at the opening reception for Two Wheel Transit: NYC Bike Share, an exhibition at the Center for Architecture (536 LaGuardia Place).
The free reception is happening from 6-8pm this evening and will feature a conversation with Janette Sadik-Khan, the NYC DOT Commissioner, and Alison Cohen, President of Alta Bicycle Share, the company that was selected to implement New York's program. The exhibition runs through February 4 and feature bike share bicycles from other programs around the world, as well as videos and other bike share information to give you a better idea of what the summer will bring.
Even if you can't make it tonight, you can get involved right now by suggesting a location for a bike share station via the program's interactive map. Naturally, 3rd Ward has already received a few votes, but cast yours now and make sure our voice is heard!
