Bicycle Sharing . Spokies is the only bike sharing program in Oklahoma City. 64 Approximately 50 bikes are located at eight stations across downtown Oklahoma City. The purpose of the Spokies Bike Share Program is to provide an alternate transit option for residents and visitors that provide health benefits and contribute to a cleaner environment. Bicycles are viewed as an important component of the city’s multimodal transit system. The sharing system is operated by EMBARK, serviced by Bicycle Transit Services, with bikes and stations provided by BCycle, a unit of Trek Bicycles of Wisconsin. Oklahoma City is one of more than 40 systems launched and operated by the same companies in metropolitan areas around the country. Spokies ridership continues to rise (see Figure 50). After averaging approximately 8,000 riders in 2015 and 2016, ridership increased 29% in 2017 to 10,175 trips and by 24% in 2018 to 12,643 rides. Figure 51. Spokies Bike Sharing – Annual Trips
