Nice Ride Minnesota’s mission is to enhance the quality of our urban life by providing a convenient, easy-to-use bike sharing program that will provide residents and visitors a healthy, fun, different way to get around town. Their vision is to create a bike sharing program that will permanently change the way people experience and perceive our city, as well as the way they experience and perceive transportation. Nice Ride will create a more vibrant city, a place where people want to work, live and play and will stand as a working example of how our state and cities create programs that meet critical and shared public goals. It will show that the benefits of alternative transportation are many and lasting.

For residents those benefits will include:

• Avoiding vehicular congestion
• Reducing our carbon footprint
• Less dependence on fossil fuels
• More efficient movement from place to place
• More opportunities for healthy physical activity
• More interesting personal experiences interacting with the city
• A growing affinity to make other changes in all modes of transportation
• A sense of civic pride
