Wellness Wednesday: BikeShare at Ohio State

Picture of bikes that are part of the bike share programStarting this semester, Ohio State is collaborating with Zagster to offer a BikeShare program to all members of the university community. The BikeShare program currently has 15 stations located on and off campus. There are a total of 115 bikes and 6 different models offered so you are sure to find a bike that fits your needs. Ohio State and Zagster have made renting bikes easy and affordable. A variety of membership plans are available including options to purchase an annual membership or even just a day pass. Sign up on the Zagster App today or text “Start” with the bike’s number to (202) 999-3924. Once you enter your bike’s number you will receive a code to unlock your bike. Then it’s just as simple as riding to your destination, returning your bike to a bike share station, locking the bike in place with the u-lock and ending the ride on the app or over text message. BikeShare takes BuckID, credit or debit.

The Ohio Union is lucky to be one of the locations chosen for a bike share station, located near the West Plaza. So come on over, pick up a bike and have a wheely good time.
