Green Options Buffalo Helps Secure Recycled Bike Racks for City

Buffalo, NY stepped up to install a series of bike racks to make it more convenient for citizens to cycle around the community. Green Options Buffalo in conjunction with the City of Buffalo secured $100,000 for the Commercial District Bicycle Parking Program.

Green Options Buffalo has masterminded the installation as part of a mission for a healthy, environmentally sustainable, community-friendly transportation system. Not only are the racks promoting environmental sustainability and healthy living, but the racks themselves are made out of partially recycled materials. The racks themselves are forged out of steel and have been designed to fit on the poles of former parking meters. Each rack can secure two bicycles.

Business and property owners are able to fill out an online form and get the bike racks installed free of charge.

Dozens of beautiful bike racks have been installed around the city.
