"D.C. isn’t the only city that’s getting to try out the benefits of bike share programs.

Brought in by Freewheelin — a joint program developed by Humana and the non-profit cycling advocacy group Bikes Belong — the bikes will be available for use by anyone in town for the convention — for free. And it’s not only the DNC that gets to take advantage of two-wheeled transportation; 1,000 bikes will be available in Minneapolis-Saint Paul for the Republican National Convention as well."
