Yes­ter­day, The Trust announced a new free bike pro­gram for the 2014 sea­son — Free Bike Morn­ings! From Mon­day to Fri­day. Vis­i­tors to the Island can now bor­row a bike for free for one hour between 10 am and noon on week­days. The pro­gram, rid­ing on the suc­cess of Free Bike Fri­days from pre­vi­ous sea­sons, offers vis­i­tors more oppor­tu­ni­ties for free bik­ing than ever before and will make week­days a live­ly place on the Island.
