There are a lot of women working behind the scenes to run great bike share programs across the country – including General Managers, Operations Managers, Bike Mechanics, Field Technicians and more. We came together to write some tips that we find helpful for biking safely and feeling confident when riding. We hope you’ll find them useful too!

Helmets

Where to find them, what the law says & how to use them. One of the keys to the success of BIKETOWN has been spontaneous trips. It's easy, affordable and convenient to jump on a bike and go! Trips like these, by their nature, don't typically include a helmet. After all, most people don't carry a helmet with them, even in Portland. That doesn't mean future trips have to be helmet-free.
