B-cycle is a public bicycle sharing company formed in partnership between Trek Bicycle Corporation, Humana, and Crispin Porter + Bogusky. [1] Its facilities include bicycles and solar-powered stations positioned throughout a city or region. Users purchase day passes or annual memberships and can check out and return bikes at any station in their city.[2] The purpose of the system is to provide a flexible method for completing short trips rather than using an automobile or traditional longer rentals or bike rental companies.[3]
