A free bicycle rental service has been launched in Lakin and Deerfield by the Kearny County Wellness Coalition, courtesy of a local consulting company and a body shop.
“We are so excited about this opportunity to share bikes with everyone and make it much easier to get outside and add activity into the day,” Krysta Harvey, chairperson of Kearny County Wellness Coalition, stated in a release.
MountainHawk Corporation, a technical consulting company based out of Lakin, was hired by the Coalition to provide access to BikeShareMaps.com and help establish a local Bike Share Committee who will be responsible for maintaining the bikes as well as the rack locations.
BikeShareMaps.com allows residents to locate and rent a bicycle from one of five unique bike rack locations in Lakin and two in Deerfield, all at no charge.
