Imagine going to a car rental counter and being told that all they have available are SmartCars and Ferraris, and nothing in between. Ridiculous, right? That’s how bike rental has been in North America for decades. Cheap beach cruisers abound in tourist hotspots, and specialty shops provide high-end carbon racing bikes for those willing to pay up.

But where are the ‘Toyotas’ of the rental bike world? Where are the high quality, everyday bikes you can rely upon for commuting or touring? That’s where we come in. At Pedal Anywhere, we exist to bring you a bike in your size and in your style, just like you ride at home. We deliver bikes on demand.

We want you to step off a plane or a train, push a few buttons on your phone, and be riding an hour later. We bring you a bike, and you ride it anywhere you want for as long as you want. When you’re done, you lock it up, text us, and walk away. That’s it. We’ll take care of the rest. Rates begin at $39, and delivery and pickup are free within Seattle. Long-term rentals are as low as $6/day.

The Ubers and Amazons of the world have raised our expectations for instant service, and we want to bring the best of that on-demand revolution to the bicycling world. We want to enable anyone, quite literally, to Pedal Anywhere.

We want to complement, not compete, with city bikeshare systems. Where bikeshare serves the short point-to-point trip very well, sometimes you just want a nicer bike you can ride anywhere at all without restriction. Are you one of our customer types?

• You’re in town for a week at an AirBnb, and you want a bike to call your own from the moment you land to the moment you leave. No traffic, no waiting for Ubers, no learning an unfamiliar transit system. Just pure mobility.
• You want to go on a long bike tour but dread the pain and expense of boxing your bike for air travel. With us you can show up with just your panniers and be off and riding within an hour.
• You’re thinking about becoming a bike commuter, but you want to rent a variety of bike styles for a few weeks so you can buy your first commuter bike with confidence.
• You bike everywhere in Seattle already, and you have family coming into town. You want to help them see the city the way you do, so you rent them bikes for the week.

Whoever you are and no matter why you ride, we want to help you get onto two wheels. We’re beginning our 4th year in Seattle, and we’re ready to take our concept to the next level. We are now undertaking a crowdfunding campaign so that we can be funded by YOU, our customers. With the support of our local community, we believe we can make Pedal Anywhere a regional or even national reality. Portland? Vancouver? San Francisco? It should be just as easy to get a bike no matter where you are.

Want to help us make it happen?

Most people who have a vehicle choose to use that vehicle to get to and fro rather than opting for travel via public transportation. However, using public transportation is often the smarter choice; using public transportation is better for the environment, can be more cost effective, and is often safer. The following highlights the top five benefits of using public transit in Seattle:

1. Using Public Transit Is Better for Your Health

Studies show that users of public transit are more active than those who choose to drive their own vehicles. This may be explained by the fact that using public transit often requires a fair amount of walking, too, as people are forced to walk from the area of transit to their final destination. Being more active and moving more frequently can extend your life.

2. The Environment Needs It

An environmental crisis is looming. Not only should we be concerned about our reliance on fossil fuels, but also on the fact that transportation sources like vehicles emit approximately 26 percent of total greenhouse gases in the U.S. By taking public transportation, you are doing the environment a big favor, which could very much impact you and your children in years to come.

3. It May Be Safer

There are thousands of car accidents in the United States each year. In the year 2014 alone, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that there were 32,675 people who died in traffic crashes. The number of people who died in public transportation accident is much smaller. For example, a 2013 study found that the bus occupant fatality rate was 45 deaths per 100,000 accidents, compared with 251 deaths per 100,000 accidents for passenger vehicles.

4. Public Transportation Is Cheaper than Owning a Car

Another reason to choose public transportation over driving is that public transportation is almost always a much cheaper option than is owning a car. Cars not only require money to purchase, but also money to fuel, to park, and to maintain. Further, employers and other organizations may subsidize some of the costs of public transportation for employees. Transloc.com reports that public transportation saves a household around $6,251 annually.

5. Helps Foster a Sense of Community

Another major benefit of public transportation is that it helps to foster a sense of community – people who travel together are more likely to feel connected to one another than are those who drive alone. Further, public transportation is available for all people, providing accessible transport to individuals regardless of age, demographics, income, and more.

Consider Using Public Transportation More

If you don’t already use public transportation on a routine basis, consider making this important lifestyle change. Using public transportation can save you money, improve your health, reduce your risk of injury, foster a sense of community, and help the environment.

In the event that you are in an accident – via public transportation or personal vehicle – a talented Seattle car accident lawyer can help you. Don’t hesitate to reach out to a skilled legal professional for immediate assistance.

Is the Move Seattle transportation levy a smart investment of property-tax dollars? That was the question at Seattle Speaks, a community forum televised live on Seattle Channel from Town Hall on Tuesday night.

The $930 million levy has been touted by city leaders as the key to a safe, interconnected, affordable and innovative city. But critics say the proposal is poorly planned, lacks accountability and is out of touch with the needs of some Seattle neighborhoods.

Supporters say the package, which Seattle voters will decide on Nov. 3, offers solutions for the city’s rapid growth. Opponents maintain we can’t afford the levy’s high price tag, while advocates argue we can’t afford to delay investments. Is Move Seattle a building block for Seattle’s future or a road block to progress?

Seattle Channel public affairs host Brian Callanan moderates a lively discussion, part of the Seattle Speaks series, presented by Seattle CityClub, Seattle Channel and Town Hall Seattle. Seattle Speaks is an Emmy Award-winning series that brings together local leaders, critics, stakeholders and residents to deliberate pivotal moments in our city’s history.

What is your main mode of transportation? Do you think Seattle is a safe city for bike commuters and pedestrians?

We want to know what you think in advance of Seattle Speaks: Move Seattle?, a live, televised community forum, which will consider the biggest levy in Seattle history — $930 million over nine years to fund transportation projects.

Weigh in now and take the short pre-poll survey.

Seattle Channel host Brian Callanan will lead a discussion with proponents and opponents of the levy, 7 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 29, at Town Hall Seattle, 1119 Eighth Ave.

The Move Seattle transportation levy, paid for through a property tax, replaces the existing Bridging the Gap transportation levy that expires at the end of this year.

Some critics say the proposal is a collection of disconnected projects and question where the levy dollars will go. Supporters say levy investments offer more choices to move people and goods around Seattle safely and affordably and will help the city keep pace with growth.

Admission to Seattle Speaks is free, but advance registration is required. Doors open at 6 p.m. with audience instructions at 6:30 p.m. and the live televised program at 7 p.m. Join the conversation in person or online, where you can take part in polls and voice your opinion via social media and e-mail. Follow the event on social media and use the hashtag #SeattleSpeaks.

Seattle Speaks: Move Seattle? will be broadcast live on Seattle Channel cable 21 (HD on Comcast 321 and Wave 721) and online.
