Bike Share ICT locations expand

5 Jan 2019 The Wichita Times

The bike share program started in 2017 proved so popular that the number of places to pick up bikes has doubled.

Dozens of new stations have been added at locations including the Advanced Learning Library, Riverside Park, Clifton Square, Great Plains Nature Center, OJ Watson Park, Sedgwick County Zoo, and Wichita Art Museum. 

The program started with 100 cruiser bikes at 19 stations throughout downtown. The bikes, which are provided by Zagster, rent for $3 per hour or an annual membership of $30 ($20 for students).  Download the app or get more info at bikeshareict.com.

While it’s a trip down memory lane for parents, children also delight in trying to draw on the world’s largest Etch-A-Sketch or playing vintage video arcade games. Visitors to Exploration Place’s Toytopia traveling exhibit can also tour a life-size doll house, build a fort, experiment with LEGOs, and learn how toys are made and which ones were most popular every decade. The exhibit is included with general admission and is on display until Jan. 1, 2019.
