2007 – Freewheelin
A corporate-sponsored project using the CycleStation bicycle sharing and rental technology by one of the largest health care companies in the USA. The system was installed in early 2007 and operated for use by their 8,500 employees in Louisville, Kentucky. The system originally started with approximately 50 bikes in the first phase of the Humana ‘Freewheelin’ program, which was later expanded to around 250 bikes. Recognizing the values in these types of bike share programs, Humana has since started their
own spin-off and in-house bike sharing department for public relations purposes.
