Hi,
Some girlfriends and I recently stayed at the Springhill Suites and discovered your yellow bike program.
This made our trip so much more enjoyable. For three days we rode all over the main streets.
We played pickleball and ate at some of the local restaurants.
Without the yellow bikes, we would have been limited on the fun we had.
Thanks for the Yellow bike program. What a great option.
Team Volunteers Keep the Wheels Rolling!
Thank you to a great group of volunteers that work so hard to keep the bikes maintained for use in our community. We are able to have 35 bikes out for loan every day for our riders to enjoy! With generous donations from businesses and individuals, we were able to buy new bikes and refurbish the ones damaged by the hurricane. We will open sites on January 28, 2025 at selected locations to be announced soon.
Anyone interested in being a Free Loaner Bike sponsor and helping us expand our fleet, should contact TEAM at 941-637-8326 or by email at team@teampuntagorda.org.

Although bikes are available to the public for free, the program is supported by the generosity of people like you. It’s easy and rewarding.
A BIG THANKS to sponsors who have joined us this year:

Help maintain our bicycle fleet. If you like to be outdoors and can operate a bicycle pump, you’d be a perfect fit for our team. Our bicycle team members visit the bike sites once per week and do minor repairs such as tighten chains, adjust seats, put air in tires, etc. We use Trek Bicycle Shop for more serious repairs. For more information, call TEAM at 941-637-8326. |
