Wilson Chapman writes: “Across the US, more than 20 public libraries have introduced special bike-share programs, in which members take out bicycles from the library for free before returning them at the end of the day. The initiatives are often done in partnership with city public health departments to help promote health and exercise among community members. In May, the public library system in Lorain, Ohio, became one of the latest to launch a bike-share program. Ohio has the most public libraries with bike-share programs in the US, with at least eight towns being served.”
