Notice of Closure #bikeshare #publictransportation #houston #htx

Are you kidding me? @METROHouston Now, I don't go out downtown as much as I used to, but why does the train stop before the bars close? On a Saturday night? Main St. is packed with people right now, why isn't there a train running?

ANOTHER ONE Friday 8/2 9AM-3PM We have bike stands, a cabinet, desks, etc.

Some of the items that we still have from the garage sale, feel free to come make an offer. Some of the items are tool boxes, couches, conference tables and chairs, 2 shelves left, air compressor hoses, lithium batteries, drawers, etc. We’ll be here open until 3:30pm ‼️

Houston BCycle’s shutdown “leaves Houston as the largest city in the United States without a bike-sharing system.” houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/…

@JamesLLlamas @HoustonBCycle One of my first bike rides in adulthood was on a @HoustonBCycle bike in 2017. It showed me that life without car ownership was possible, even in Texas. I haven’t owned a car for over 4 years now. Thank you for all the memories 💔

Sure would help out on game days 🫠🚦🚘

@NatBee17_ The @UHouston declined to support operation of the bike share system.

@JustDogHair @JamesLLlamas @METROHouston @iah @HoustonFirst The City of Houston will be auctioning off electric and pedal bikes. Additionally, they may go to other bike share organizations!

@JamesLLlamas @HoustonBCycle @METROHouston @iah @HoustonFirst What happens to the old bikes ? Do they become usable or are they moved to another market?

After 12 years and 1.76 million trips, today is the last day of #bikeshare in Houston. As vice chair of Houston Bike Share, the nonprofit operator of @houstonbcycle, I’d like to offer some perspective on what we accomplished and what we learned on this roller coaster journey. 1/

@texas_walnut We are a non-profit organization, revenue goes to operational expenses as we cannot run a bike share system without funding. Hope this clears that up!

They call themselves non-profit but charge to ride the bikes. What a fraud!

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: This weekend, @HoustonBCycle ceased operation across Houston. What does this mean for the future of public transportation? The story on @abc13houston at 5 & 630, and if you may see bike stands again in the future.

Heads Up to all my fellow Houstonians Bicyclist traveling through Midtown. Austin Street near the corner of Anita Street, there is an Open Man Cover on Austin Bike Lane. Spread the Word. @BikeHouston @HoustonBCycle @HoustonBikePlan @Bik

@HoustonBCycle @METROHouston @iah @HoustonFirst I’ll leave you with one final fun fact. The conventional wisdom is that Houston is too hot for biking. In fact, Houstonians ride all summer and only back off in the winter months. Houston is, in fact, too cold for biking. 17/17 for now.

@HoustonBCycle @METROHouston @iah @HoustonFirst I will never miss an opportunity to shout out our dedicated staff who have stuck with us through the ups and downs. Perhaps what pains me the most is to see Houston's bike share talent, know-how, and passion walk out the door. 16/

@HoustonBCycle @METROHouston @iah @HoustonFirst We, like others, had an uphill battle against bike share's original sin. Public and private partners have generously supported our expansion, but the City’s commitment in October was the first time any public funds went to @HoustonBCycle's operations. 15/ fastcompany.com/90883010/undoi…
