Your Opinion: Be a spinner

Dear Editor:

Thanks to Parks and Rec and the City of Jefferson for bringing the bike share program to Jefferson City. It is great to see these orange bikes all over town.

Last week when I had a free hour and wanted some exercise I rode across the Missouri River and back on a Spin bike - what fun. I didn't have to ride my bike from home or load it up on the bike rack and drive to the bridge, either of which would have taken too much time that day. All I had to do was grab my helmet and yellow vest, drive to the bike park by the bridge, park my car and check out a Spin bike using the Spin app on my phone.

Riding a bike is a fun way to get exercise and now it is easier than ever. I hope the City will continue to expand bike lanes throughout the city and make Missouri Boulevard safe for us to ride on.
