Weekend Reflections - Tulsa River Parks Edition

The Tulsa River Parks Authority has "Tulsa Townies" bicycle stations at two places on the River Parks.

You pick out your bicycle and then use your credit card to unlock it from the unattended solar powered  station.

The bikes are free if you return them in 24 hours. If you don't you just got yourself a $100 bicycle.

I've never used them but they get sold out on nice weekends. I think that it is a great idea.

Did they paint those bikes in pink to avoid them being stolen ? That is such a strange color for a community bike... Nice sharing indeed.

That's great Yogi. Bicyle stations are popping up all over Washington DC now.

Great idea, if it works. I'd rather walk.

Brilliant idea for the abled. Over here we have scooters which are free, provided you show your disability badge. I love them.
