Soon, Detroiters, visitors and bike enthusiasts will be zipping through the city in shiny red bikes.
MoGo, Detroit’s first public bike share program, will set up 430 bikes and 43 stations throughout ten neighborhoods in Detroit.
Wednesday marks the launch of the MoGo’s website, www.mogodetroit.org, new bike look and pricing.
MoGo plays on the city’s recognition as the birthplace of Motown sound, as well as its reputation for being the “Motor City.”
“Today’s announcement continues the city’s mobility evolution, providing Detroiters and visitors alike with more accessible options to move around the city,” said Lisa Nuszkowski, executive director, MoGo, Detroit Bike Share.
