We’ve all seen, or maybe utilized, Lincoln’s public bike share program. Now the city wants to hear your thoughts.

Lincoln Transportation and Utilities (LTU) is asking residents to participate in a survey regarding improvements to BikeLNK, Lincoln’s bike share program. The survey is available here through November 22.

BikeLNK offers patrons the opportunity to rent a bike or a pedal-assist electric bike (e-bike) in downtown Lincoln and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln City and East campuses. BikeLNK has 21 stations, 105 traditional bikes, and 26 e-bikes. Users can purchase a membership pass at a station kiosk by downloading the BCycle app or by visiting the BikeLNK website. Since its inception in 2018, BikeLNK has recorded more than 200,000 trips.

Survey results will help BikeLNK remain responsive to the needs of the community and act as a guide to increase the program’s accessibility to more individuals in Lincoln, said Logan Spackman, BikeLNK manager.

“The 2023 BikeLNK survey will give us a glimpse into how current riders use the service and offer insight into what is holding non-riders back from choosing this sustainable transportation option,” Spackman said. “We are also interested in learning what the biggest perceived advantages to bike share are among users, and for those who do not ride bike share yet, what steps might help better position bike share to serve their needs.”
