How To Bikeshare in Roanoke

Bikesharing allows you to check out a bike from stations all across Roanoke, ride as long as you want, and return the bike to a same or different station. You can even stop and during a ride, using the included bike lock. (Bikes also have baskets to carry items, but you should bring your own helmet.
