tipping," marketing and communications
director Kevin Bell said.
If the company handling the bikeshare
program does not offer alternative bikes,
it is very difficult for a community's bikeshare program to offer a handcycle, for
instance.
An exception to this is in Boston.
The Hubway bikeshare program has
more than 1,500 bikes. People can also
request a recumbent tricycle, but, it is
rarely used, said Najah Casimir, Program Manager at Boston Bikes. However, Casimir said, people who may have
initially thought that they would need
an adaptive bike have been able to use
Hubway's regular bikes. "It has been
extra educational for us that people of
various abilities have been able to use
the upright bike," said Vineet Gupta,
Director of Policy and Planning for the
Boston Transportation Department.
Still, there are people with disabilities
or other issues that prevent them from
using the typical bicycle used in bikeshare programs. Trikes and other adaptive bikes offer an option for them to also
enjoy the benefits of bikeshare.
This year has seen the launch of several
programs with alternative and adaptive
bikes and the trend is likely to continue.
Bikeshare programs in College Park,
MD, Corvallis, OR, and Westminster,
CO, have all recently launched with
trikes and/or adaptive bikes.
The mBike program in the city of College Park and University of Maryland
launched this May with 120 bikes and
five alternative bikes, including side-byside bikes, trikes and handcycles. "We
wanted a system that was going to be a
transportation alternative for the widest
possible audience," said Aaron Goldbeck,
Bicycle Coordinator for the University of
Maryland. They also felt that, if someone
was considering buying an adaptive bike
like a handcycle, that they could use the
bikeshare program to demo a bike first,
Goldbeck said.
The bikeshare program in Westminster
has a total of 40 bikes, with eight of them
alternative bikes, including three hand-
