Birmingham is pleased to be the first city in the state to offer bike rentals. This week the ZYP Bike program kicked off at Railroad Park. 300 bright green bikes with over 30 docking stations in the downtown and southside areas will be free for the first 45 minutes. The program is sponsored by Regions Bank, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama, Alabama Power, Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex and the Community Foundation. For our city, sorely in need of a rapid and reliable transit system, this offers an affordable way for some of our citizens to get around or just enjoy a family outing. Welcome Zyp!

New York City has Citibikes .. now moving into the 'outer' boroughs ...
There's a similar program in place here the last three or four years.
Welcome to the club. I believe bicycles are the most enjoyable way to commute in small/medium size cities, and to travel not too long distances too. Now I want to go back to Birmingham for a ride!
oh, I have got a biking section in my blog, all about places I've been on a bike!
This shot reminds me of an infinity mirror!
