Boston kicks off first bike share program in the state Jul 28th 2011, 13:50 By Associated Press 8:50 a.m. CDT, July 28, 2011 BOSTON (AP) â€" Boston Mayor Thomas Menino is set to lead a caravan of bicycle riders through the city to launch the state's first bike share program. The Hubway bike share program allows people to rent bicycles from one of 61 sidewalk vending stations spread across the city. Menino and 200 bikers are scheduled to ride through the city Thursday to formally launch the program. The initiative is one of the first in the country and the only in the state. An aide to Menino says the city hopes the program expands to surrounding communities. Users can sign up for yearly membership or use short term deals lasting one or three days to ride one of the program's 600 bicycles. User fees and corporate sponsors will pay for the program.
