Jefferson City may soon have a bike share program as more committees, commissions and boards discuss bicycle growth in the community.

During the Jefferson City Convention and Visitors Bureau's meeting Monday, the board of directors discussed sponsoring a bike-share program — in which people pick up bicycles at different self-serve stations around the city and return them to other bike stations.

Ashley Varner, healthy communities coordinator and wellness navigator at Capital Region Medical Center, said there is a committee working to create a bike-share program in the city to promote a bicycle-friendly community.

MoBikeFed comment: Jefferson City is rapidly establishing itself as one of the most bike/ped friendly cities in the state.
