“We are working to build private sector support for a bike share system that has a lot of interest and a groundswell of financial support already."

—Craig Staley, GM of Mellow Johnny's. A group of private investors, led by Mellow Johnny's, is rallying to make an Austin bike share system a reality.

The bike shop will host a demonstration and presentation by B-Cycle today, which operates a program in San Antonio. They’ll demonstrate how the system works and let visitors test ride the sturdy bikes.

The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. at Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop, 400 Nueces Street. The shop will provide appetizers and refreshments.
