The city Department of Transportation has picked five companies for the pilot bike share program in boroughs outside Manhattan. Two of those companies, the Hong Kong-based Ofo and Brooklyn-based JUMP, will supply bikes to the Bronx.

The program will bring at least 200 bikes to the central Bronx and Fordham area.

“Our goal is to make cycling accessible to anyone anywhere,” said Jordan Levine, head of northeast communications at Ofo. “We want to make it both as affordable and approachable as possible by taking away traditional barriers like having bikes being stolen or dishing out a few hundred dollars to buy a bike.”

Bike riders can rent a bike for $1 per half hour using the Ofo app. Through the app, users just need to scan the barcode on the back of the bike. A credit card is required.

When finished riding for the allotted time, riders can leave bikes at the bike racks that the city has installed. Levine said that it is likely that the racks will be set up near subway stations so that it is “quick, easy, and seamless” for cyclists to pick up and drop off bikes. Otherwise, cyclists can leave bikes in the “furniture zone” near fire hydrants and benches.

For avid cyclists, unlimited passes are also available for $25 a month or $49 for three months. These offers allow for unlimited rides in two-hour increments.

Pedal-assist bikes provided by JUMP, will be available after July 28. City officials are still finalizing the start date of the program, but it is set to start in mid- to late-July.
