This weekend, I used UMBC’s Bike Share for the first time- I don’t have a car and needed to do some nearby errands that were not on UMBC Transit’s bus routes.

It was super easy: I showed my red ID to the RAC front desk, signed a waiver, and was issued a bike, helmet, and lock to use until the RAC closed that night. The bikes are hybrid so they can ride on and off road surfaces. 

I was soon on my way, enjoying my bike ride, and spending less time doing errands because biking is certainly faster than walking!

If you need a way to get around the area, check out the bike share program at the RAC.  You can borrow a bike any time the RAC is open."

I found information about the bikeshare here: http://ies.umbc.edu/files/2014/03/Retrieverfleet.pdf
