Hawley BikeShare is a community-based bike share program brought to you by the Downtown Hawley Partnership and the generous support of our local businesses. Bikes are loaned out, free of charge!
Purchased through the generosity of the members of the Downtown Hawley Partnership, these 12 new bicycles are available in two sizes, in both men and women’s styles, and are geared for ease of use. Bikes will be available at four convenient locations throughout Hawley:
-
- AM Skier Insurance
- The Settlers Inn
- The Ledges Hotel
- Lake Region Fitness at the Hawley Silk Mill
The bikes come complete with a helmet, lock, and removable basket for carrying purchases from local shops.
Hawley BikeShare is designed to encourage people to explore all the community has to offer; to visit the local businesses and explore a little further afield. Biking provides a connection to the community and to the natural beauty of the area. And because it’s people-powered, it’s a sustainable – and healthy – way to see the sights. Recapture the joy of biking you had as a child, or perhaps join your kids for a family outing.
The rules are simple. An interested individual simply provides a copy of his or her driver’s license (or other photo ID), signs a waiver and rental agreement holding the Partnership harmless in the event of injury and accepting responsibility for the cost of any and all damages. Bicycles need to be returned by dusk the same day. Though rentals are initially limited to those over 18 years of age, depending on the response, the program may be extended in the future to those over 16 years of age.
