Humana, a Fortune 500 health insurer, will be providing 1,000 bicycles to the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis for community use during the Republican National Convention, and then leaving 75 behind for what it hopes will become a permanent bike-sharing initiative. . . .
To use a Freewheelin cycle, participants would register with credit cards to ensure that they don't make off with the bikes, which otherwise are expected to be free to use. . . .
Humana also is making 1,000 bicycles available to Denver during the Democratic National Convention . . .
Since late August, Humana has been running a Freewheelin program for its employees at its headquarters in Louisville, Ky.
So Freewheelin is working in Louisville . . . why not in St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, Springfield, or St. Joseph?
I know some people across the state are working towards it . . .
