What's a Bike Share?
A Bike Share program is a network of secure kiosks where people can check out bicycles to ride to lunch, to class, the grocery store or just for fun. Simply take a bike when you need one, and return it to any station in the system when you arrive at your destination.

(Just think "Chattanooga" every time they say "London.")

The first Chattanooga stations will be located around the central business district, UTC campus and the North Shore. They will serve downtown workers, tourists, students and other people who want to use bicycles.
