My article was about a woman in Long Beach, CA named Andrea White-Kjoss who has started up full service cycling centers in big cities. Over a dozen have opened in several different states. At these Bikestations, bike security is offered, as well as shower rooms and changing facilities. Also, you can take biking classes and buy equipment. This makes things like biking to work easier because you don't have to worry about showing up looking gross and sweaty, or having your bike stolen.
I think Bikestations will be good for the US economy because it saves room (you can park many bikes in the space needed to park a car), money (it costs a lot to replace a stolen bike, not to mention less gas money) and at the same time you are preserving the earth by not driving your car to work everyday.
So hop on your bike to help our planet, and your wallet!
