Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood strapped on a bike helmet and took a leisurely ride through downtown Denver with Mayor John Hickenlooper Wednesday, promoting a bicycle-sharing program the secretary called "a model for America." "People want a lot of different ways to get around the community," LaHood said before getting on a bike for a ride with Hickenlooper and other dignitaries. Organizers of Denver's B-Cycle program say it's the first large-scale municipal bike-share in the country, with 43 stations and 400 bicycles around the city. LaHood said Minneapolis has a program similar to Denver's but its on a much smaller scale. Des Moines, Iowa is also considering a bike-sharing program. – Moer -
