Bike share program to launch on Wednesday

A bike share program will launch at noon Wednesday, May 19, in the Rosedale neighborhood of Kansas City, Kansas.

RideKC Bike services, which will include six bike hubs and 30 e-bikes, will be added in the Rosedale neighborhood and throughout the University of Kansas Medical Center campus, according to a spokesman.

The bike hubs will include information kiosks and bike racks.

The program is funded through a federal transportation grant to improve air quality.

A second phase of the program is planned for later this year to bring an addition four hubs and 20 e-bikes to the system, according to the spokesman.

The Unified Government plans to work with RideKC Bike in the coming months to understand preliminary stage and travel patterns of bikes in Kansas City, Kansas, to determine the placement of future hubs, the spokesman stated.

This regional e-bike bike share service offers low-cost, environmentally friendly mobility options to riders who can now move seamlessly across state lines, according to the spokesman.

The new RideKC Bike service area is being expanded to include all of Wyandotte County east of I-635. The electric-assist bikes will make it easier to tackle hills and enjoy the outdoors in Kansas City, Kansas, through active transportation, the spokesman stated.

As a dockless system, riders can scan a QR code with the RideKC Bike app to check it out, ride safely, and then return it to a bike hub or lock it to a bike rack within the service area, according to the spokesman. Each bike has both a cable lock to secure the bike to a fixed object and a wheel lock that automatically closes through the rear wheel. The first ride for new users is free; after that, bikes are $1 to unlock and 10 cents per minute. Riders originating in Wyandotte County can use the following promotional code to access three free rides: KCK51921.

Wednesday’s event will include the presentation of a Bike Month Proclamation by Mayor Alvey, comments by our community partners, a brief safety demonstration, and a short bike ride around the park. The public is invited for this kick-off and may bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at Rosedale Park.
