bike, because a pair
of wheels is one of the best ways to
experience H-Town these days. Thanks
to the areas recently-expanded bike
trails and the introduction of the
Houston B-CYCLE bike share program,
locals and visitors are hitting the road
now more than ever.
Even if you dont have a bike, the
B-Cycle service makes getting around
a breeze. With more than two-dozen
stations located in Downtown,
Montrose, Midtown, The Heights and
the Museum District, riders can easily
and inexpensively cruise around some
of the citys most-loved sites.
Customers can purchase bike
access online or at any of the stations
by inserting a credit card at the
B-Cycle kiosk and selecting a bike
from one of the numbered bays. Pay
by the hour or purchase a 24-hour
pass for $5. Bikes can be returned to
any B-Station by rolling it back into an
available dock or use the built-in lock
to secure your ride in between stops.
Though it would be easy to
spend an entire day biking the city,
