Kansas City: Share a Bike, Shed a Pound

Something very exciting happened last week in Kansas City—the launch of the KC Bike Share program, KC B-cycle! Picture 90 bikers riding all over downtown KC and along the Missouri River. What a sight for health conscious individuals!

About Bike Share: KC B-cycle

KC B-cycle is a convenient way to get in your workout. With 12 B-cycle stations throughout downtown KC, you can virtually bike from anywhere! You simply check out a bike, ride it around and return it to any B-cycle station. And the first 30 minutes is free! Sounds easy, right? Well, check out www.kansascity.bcycle.com and get cycling!

Why Bike?

Going to lunch with co-workers? Try biking there! Need a break during your hectic workday? Take a bike break! Biking is an excellent workout and it’s eco-friendly, too! The US Environmental Protection Agency says that for every 1 mile pedaled rather than driven, nearly 1 pound of CO² is saved! And in 2010, The Outdoor Foundation found that biking is the second most popular outdoor activity in the US; so why not give it a try?

Biking is healthy, fun and a great way to blow off some steam. And KC B-cycle makes biking around town simple, so why not give it a shot?  Check out a bike and pedal on over to 1800 Baltimore and cowork with us for the day at bizperc!
