DOT is teaming up with Alta Bicycle Share to introduce a 24/7, 365 days bike share program that will include areas in North Brooklyn. Its aimed to launch Summer 2012. You can “Suggest a Station,” depending on how close (or how far) you want it to be. An obvious and convenient choice for Greenpoint is the Indian St. ferry terminal. The program is best for quick rides. Its privately funded through membership fees, not taxpayer dollars. The bike are sturdy and built for safety but helmets are not included though strongly encouraged. Here is a listing of upcoming bike share demonstrations in Brooklyn.
