Apr 4th
Boulder, Colo. – Boulder East, a non-profit membership organization working to reduce single occupancy vehicles, traffic congestion and its resulting pollution, is partnering with Community Cycles to maintain bicycles provided through their PoolBike program.
Boulder East’s PoolBike program provides Boulder companies with PoolBikes and setting up and managing these bikes available to employees. Employees of 21 local companies including Whole Foods, Roche Colorado, Fresh Produce, Foothills Community Hospital and many more, can go online and reserve a bike at their convenience. The online bike manager also calculates how many miles a person has ridden, gas saved, calories burned and carbon dioxide emission saved.
“Our PoolBikes provide employees who did not drive to work with an easy and convenient means of transportation during the day to run errands and go to meetings,” said Boulder East Marketing Manager Tracy Foster. “It also encourages individuals who drove to work to leave their cars parked during the day and instead bicycle to meetings, stores, and restaurants.” The PoolBike program is one of Boulder East’s most popular programs with 21 different companies and 36 bikes.
A likely partner, Community Cycles (CC) is a non-profit organization of bicycle enthusiasts whose mission is to educate and advocate for the safe use of bicycles as an affordable, viable and sustainable means of transportation and personal enjoyment within our community. Community Cycles provides re-cycled bikes and a welcoming space to learn about bicycle repair, maintenance and operation through outreach and advocacy activities.
