Suffolk County To Launch Bike Share Program
The program's initial launch will provide 100 bikes in Patchogue and Babylon.
Suffolk County officials announced they will be launching a bike share program next month to provide bicycles in communities.
County Executive Steve Bellone said the program will launch in August and 100 bikes will be available for rent at 24 stations, including parks, downtown areas and train stations.
The program, which has been in the works for two years, will roll out in Patchogue, Babylon Village and two undetermined locations before moving to other areas.
