Fort Colins Bike Library
This was Emailed to me and I found it rather interesting. So I thought I would let others know through my blog.
Here's an excerpt from Rick Price's notice of a lunchtime meeting:
Café Bicyclette in Old Town – this is the beginning of the Fort Collins Bike Library, a project that brings together BikeFortCollins.org, FC Bikes (the City Bike Program), the DDA (Downtown Development Authority), RamWheels at CSU, the Fort Collins Bike Coop, and several other partners.
Beginning Friday (July 13) you can borrow a bike for friends, family, visitors for up to 24 hours from Café Bicyclette in the former information kiosk near the fountain in Oldtown. We’ll talk about the program and the fact that we need volunteers every weekend: 4 – 8 p.m. on Fridays and 11 –
6 p.m. Saturday and Sundays. Maybe your Scout Troop, service club, bike club, or neighborhood association would like to volunteer to fill these time slots? We’ll talk about it at the BLT.
'Cafe Bicyclette' is by the goose fountain.

The Fort Collins Bike Library is UP and running! The Fort Collins Bike Library is a collaborative effort among the City of Fort Collins, BikeFortCollins.org, and the Fort Collins Bicycle Cooperative. BikeFortCollins.org is a local bicycle advocacy group that has been instrumental in salvaging the city's bicycle coordinator position from the chopping block. BikeFortCollins.org initiated the proposal for the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant and administers the program under the supervision of FC Bikes, the bike program of the City. The Fort Collins Bicycle Cooperative operates as an autonomous project under the auspices of BikeFortCollins.org and, among other activities builds and maintains the fleet of loaner bikes from the library. Visit www.BikeFortCollins.org, www.fcbikecoop.org or www.PlatinumBikePlan.blogspot.com for more information on all these groups.
Good for people to know.
