Lexington's Bike Program Issues Are World Class

Some of the issues with the Lexington Yellow Bike Program are shared by the Velib Program in Paris, France. Back in 2007, Paris established the Velib Program to reduce vehicle traffic and emissions in Paris. Though the program has been very successful, they have experienced significant problems with bicycle theft and vandalism. In Lexington, we have also seen bikes being stolen from the downtown area with most of them going unrecovered. Lexington demonstrated forward thinking with this program in 2007 so let's all help keep the program going. If you see a bike from the Yellow Bike Program abandoned or want more information, please call 859-425-2008. It's our community.
