Zagster, the popular bike-sharing operator, is adding 28 more bikes at five new locations throughout Cleveland as demand for its rent-a-bike program grows.

Meanwhile, the program secured additional sponsorships from Cumberland Development, Notre Dame College, Detroit-Shoreway Community Development Organization, University Circle Inc. and the Cleveland Public Library, bringing to 18 the total number of community, business and organizational sponsors for the program. "Given that we launched relatively late in the fall last year, we believe the best is yet to come for bike sharing in Cleveland,” said Dana Allender, general manager of Zagster’s Midwest Region, in a press release issued Tuesday, July 28. “With the warmer weather, festivals, fairs, sports and entertainment downtown, we expect to see continued growth. Of course, without the support of all the sponsors, the program wouldn’t be possible, and we’re thrilled to see more and more partners stepping up.” Bikes will be stocked at each of the following additional locations: • Cleveland Public Library • Notre Dame College campus • North Coast Harbor • At Detroit Avenue and West 58th Street, near Happy Dog • Cleveland Museum of Art Users can rent a bike via the Zagster mobile app or online at www.zagster.com/Cleveland at any designated Zagster location throughout the city for up to a 24-hour period. Other locations include: Superior Viaduct Lofts, Barley House, Merwin’s Wharf, Market Garden Brewery, Hingetown, Platform Beer Co., Ohio City Inc. and Skylight Financial Group. Pricing begins at $3 per hour with a cap of $24 after 24 hours. Additional hours are $3 per hour. Frequent users can opt to pay a $15 monthly fee or a $75 annual fee.
