According to this story from Houston B-Cycle, in May 2012, the city of Houston launched its bikeshare program with just 18 bikes. This January 2013 press release, talks about a partnership between Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) and the City of Houston which aims to create a more bikeable community. BCBSTX donated $750,000 to expand the Houston B-cycle program.
The generous donation from BCBSTX will help Houston expand to phase two of the Houston B-cycle program.
Prior to this expansion, the bike share program only existed at downtown locations. Phase two of the program will expand the B-cycle program’s presence into Midtown, Montrose, and the museum district. Plans for a phase three expansion into the
Texas Medical Center and to local universities are in the works.
