B-cycle is coming to Clarksville<\/h3>\n

Thanks to a group of Clarksville Academy students, a grant from the Clarksville-Montgomery County Community Health Foundation and a partnership with the City of Clarksville, a bicycle share program will soon come to Liberty Park and McGregor Park.<\/p>\n

The group, comprised of about eight Clarksville students each year, researched and wrote a grant proposal as part of Clarksville Academy\u2019s Challenge Based Learning (CBL). They ultimately chose B-cycle, and then wrote a grant proposal. After being awarded the grant from the Community Health Foundation, students then began work with the city to identify locations for the bike stations.<\/p>\n

Once the program is in place, they\u2019ll continue to monitor how often the bikes are used and study how they are making a difference.<\/p>\n

Each station, both located along the Cumberland River, will house 10 B-cycles each. Bicycles rented from one station can be returned to the other station. Clarksville B-cycle riders must purchase an access pass for $3.00 that allows riders access to the bike for 24 hours.<\/p>\n

[320left]The first hour is free but then riders must pay $1.00 for each additional 30 minutes that a bike is out. Individuals can purchase daily passes or memberships, including weekly, monthly, and one-year options.<\/p>\n

A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 10:00am on Friday, January 15th at Liberty Park with honored guests Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan, Kay Drew, Head of School at Clarksville Academy, and Sarah Schwartz, Grant Coordinator for Clarksville-Montgomery County Community Health Foundation.<\/p>\n
