This particular bike service is a new to me but Explore Bike Share came to Memphis in 2018 and…read moreapparently is taking the city by storm with a bike-sharing network sure to help  Memphians get their blood pumping and their heart rates up but for areas like this one here in Overton Square it's also simply a great way to get around. I have seen quite a few people pedaling around the area, alone & in groups, and I think that it's exactly what I'd be doing if I lived in this community. So you might ask, how can both visitors and residents make use of this bike network and their transit hubs? For those of you who have never used a bike-sharing network before, here's what to know about Explore Bike Share before taking your first cycling trip. What is bike sharing? A bike-sharing program is a service that involves bikes being stored in transit hubs across a city and made available to rent through the use of an app. Such programs give users the freedom associated with having a bike without the hassle of managing the upkeep. Although bike-sharing was conceived in Amsterdam in 1965, with free-use white bicycles left unchained throughout the city, it wasn't until 1995 that bikes were made available to rent through a coin-operated payment system. Similar programs soon followed suit and the practice has grown exponentially, with many bike-sharing programs owning over a thousand bikes per city. About Explore Bike Share Explore Bike Share is a bike-sharing network that has recently come to Memphis, setting up shop so Memphians from all walks of life can enjoy a little cycling to break up their daily routine. Whether you're a fitness junkie, a tourist, a commuter or anyone else interested in using a bike to get around, Explore Bike Share is waiting for you & is broken down into four easy steps on the company's website. Pay: Users can pay through the Explore Bike Share app on their phones, which makes the transaction quick and easy. Pick up: Users can pick up their bicycles at any of Memphis' 60 bicycle hubs. Pedal: Grab bike & enjoy your time on the bike! Put up: Just bring the bike back to any designated bike station and continue with your day. Anyone interested in making use of the Explore Bike Share network can rent a bike per use or on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis. They also have a Pay-It-Forward membership, that is very cool, that provides an annual pass to both you and a Memphian in need of transportation options. Paying it forward is such a great idea that is also good for your heart!! Finally, the station here on Madison is very cool with lots of bikes and there's also some scooters here. It's got solar power, it's well lit and the pay options and instructions are in big print and easy to follow. I give them an enthusiastic 5 stars!! * Explore Bike Share By the Numbers Numbers (May 23, 2018 thru May 17, 2019): 1,374,123 total minutes spent biking 13,619 riders 34,213 trips taken 110,366 miles ridden 4.4 million calories burned (estimated) 40 minutes average ride duration * credit Memphis Business Journal Check these guys out at: https://explorebikeshare.bcycle.com/ or check out their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/987114194646859

Should be ZERO stars!!!!!…read more I did not see anyone in the downtown area riding any of these bikes and after using the service I know why. There were 6 bikes parked near the Sheraton Hotel and none of them worked. Four of the touch screens were non-responsive and two read that the bikes were unavailable because they needed service. I walked 1/3 of a mile to next location and found a touch screen that let me check out a bike. It was easy to unlock and off I went. The tires were under inflated but not quite flat. About a block into my ride I realized the rear brake was not working. The under inflated tires did not let me ride too fast so having only front brakes was ok for a short ride. The 5star review reads like a PR release. It appears that there is little concern that these bikes are poorly maintained. No where on the app is there a place to report maintenance issues. ZERO stars!!!!!

By the time one of them actually came over to me (7 minutes after my appointment) I was told that the person who needed to check me in had left because I was more than 5 minutes late. They still got me checked in but sadly my iron levels were too low to donate. While they were finishing with me another woman showed up to donate, explained about a tree being in the road which caused her to be late, but they refused to take her. Considering all the stuff I hear about there being a blood shortage I am appalled by this behavior. One of the ladies working was on a the donor bed/lounge chair things, half asleep, and didn't get up at all.
