Bike-sharing program coming to campus]]> On Thursday, Feb. 15, 200 bright orange bikes will be delivered to campus. The touring bikes will be parked near high-traffic areas on campus – such as Ottenheimer Library, dormitories, Donaghey Student Center and parking lots, said Jim Carr, professor of construction management and chair of the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Sustainability Committee. The 鈥渟mart鈥 bikes are equipped with GPS and can be unlocked by scanning a QR code with the Spin App. Riders pay 50 cents per 30 minutes, or can pay $14/month 聽and can pay with Apple Pay and Android Pay, or by inputting their credit card info into the company鈥檚 app. The bikes are 鈥渄ockless,鈥 meaning there鈥檚 not a bike rack or kiosk for pick-up and returns. When riders have reached their campus destination, they simply park them. Spin bikes can be found across all bike racks on campus. Here鈥檚 how it works:
  1. Download the app by searching 鈥淪pin Bikes鈥 on the app store and sign up with your 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock email address.
  2. Pull up the app to locate a bike nearby
  3. Scan the QR code on the bike to unlock it
  4. Start your ride
  5. When you reach your destination, drop off and lock the bike by a designated area.
Spin plans to hire students to work as campus operating managers, to retrieve and return bikes to their intended areas. Interested students can email 驳颈苍辞蔼蝉辫颈苍.辫尘听for more information about jobs. Riders also must provide their own helmets.]]>
