Denver grads create 'bike library' for people in need of a free ride
They’re known around the University of Denver campus as “the sustainability duo.”
Mary Jean O’Malley and Zoee Turrill, 22-year-old recent graduates of the university, are the masterminds behind a bike-sharing program on DU’s campus that will debut this fall.
The “bike library” is a pilot for a citywide bike-sharing program that will launch next spring. Six hundred bikes will be placed in 40 kiosks around the city of Denver, so locals can borrow and return them.
Two kiosk locations will be on the DU campus for use by students and faculty.
Turrill and O’Malley, with help from the student senate and several departments on campus, created the free service to ease traffic congestion and reduce students’ financial burden.
