BikeGreen of Saint Petersburg Florida seeks to provide complimentary Public Utility Bikes (PUB's) for the general public and visitors to use. Our not-for-profit approach combines community volunteers and charitable donations to develop and deliver this iconic public service.
We have high hopes for our PUB initiative and aim for our community to become
More integrated
Less congested
Greener
Leaner
BikeGREEN seeks to aid two of the greatest concerns to our nation and community. Dependence on foreign oil hurts us as a whole, and obesity threatens the well being of many individuals. We encourage you to consider our pioneering program a simultaneous solution to these dilemmas, and further encourage you to take the next step:
Burn calories, not carbon!
Seeking to fill a niche need within our community, St. Pete's BikeGREEN initiative was launched in March 2008 by cycling enthusiasts around Pinellas County. Having seen successful Public Utility Bike (PUB) programs in a number of European and American cities, founder Brent Bruns decided the time had come for their own community to benefit from such an initiative.
As with many non-profit organizations, community involvement is key to BikeGREEN's success. Donations of time, funds, bikes, and unique skills determine our sustainability! Please consider a donation to our fund via the web site, or find one of our 15 conveniently placed Altoid vending machines around the city to get a tasty treat in return. These shops and our other sponsors have been of tremendous help to BikeGREEN, so please consider thanking them with your business!
