Going Green

"Stop complaining and start a revolution..."

While we're currently only in Madison, Wisconsin we hope to make it to campuses all over the nation before our Free Bikes Revolution is over.

Going Green. Start small, act locally. While we're not going to change the world overnight, Free Bikes is a small step in the right direction. Read the information below to see how riding Free Bikes helps the environment!

Green Benefits

Bikes are powered by your own (clean) energy, helping your overall fitness as well as air quality in our cities.

By participating in sharing and renting of our bikes, you can help reduce the need to manufacture new bikes and ultimately reducing waste in our environment not to mention giving you a Free Bike.

Opting out of using a car in a city reduces your “carbon footprint” immensely. Your decision to rent a Free Bike helps reduce emissions into the air and reduces need for oil and gas, offering future generations a better chance at enjoying the same beautiful environment we enjoy today.

Compared to cars, bicycles...

Cars cost money to keep in cities, and harm the environment with their emissions. Most apartment buildings charge fees for parking near the building, not to mention gas prices, inevitable unexpected repairs, oil changes, etc.

Sometimes it’s even faster to get where you need to go on a bike – less traffic, less delay. You can save money and time as well as the environment!

Many cities lend themselves well to bike-users. Better, in fact, than traveling by car; no traffic jams, and more places to “park,” that are much closer to your destination than a parking lot may be.
