Universities like East Carolina University and towns like Durham have a mixed response to the presence of LimeBike. Likewise can be said for cities like Charlotte, with their own version of bike-sharing programs. A positive result is citizens utilizing a healthier form of transport. A negative result comes from cyclists irresponsibly parking the bikes after use.
Many of us like the idea of parking our cars in favor of bikes. But can we do it? Some people already have. And plans are in the works to entice more of us to join them.
Despite the urban setting of a growing Charlotte, the city is increasingly bike friendly with new bike lanes, greeways, and a cycle-sharing system that promotes biking from town adventures to mountain trails.
