Annapolis is gearing up for the test run of a bicycle loan program later this month, city officials said.
“Free Wheelin? Annapolis,” which will be announced at the annual Bike-to-Work Day on May 18, is a response to community requests for an alternative mode of transpiration for downtown travel, officials said.
If the pilot generates enough interest, the program will begin in earnest this summer. Residents and visitors could borrow the free bicycles from the Harbormaster?s office.
Volunteers are needed to help maintain the bicycles and manage inventory, officials said. Capital Bicycle, the city?s partner in the program, will educate them on basic maintenance and repair.
