The Red Bike system suspended operations in March, but has since raised funds through a private campaign to resume service.
Cincinnati’s Red Bike bike share system, which was shut down in March due to financial problems, is set to reopen this month, reports Matthew Dietz for WLWT 5.
Since March, Red Bike raised half a million dollars in a private fundraising campaign to support further operations. “The Red Bike team will now spend the next 12 months creating a more sustainable approach to operational funding in its business plan, the city of Cincinnati said in a release.”
