Bike Miami Valley Seeks Designs for Link Bikes
Bike Miami Valley is calling on Dayton residents 18 years and older to submit design patterns that represent their cultural heritage. Five finalists will be selected to have their designs printed on a Link Bike and will be recognized at the launch event on the June 3rd First Friday in downtown Dayton.
“We were inspired by other successful bike share design contests around the country,” says Bike Miami Valley’s Executive Director Laura Estandia. “To make the contest Dayton specific, we are asking for designs that capture Dayton’s cultural stories and the people that make this community a diverse place to live.”
All skill levels are encouraged to apply. Information on the application and submission guidelines can be found on the Culture Bikes page at linkdayton.org. The deadline to make submissions is Monday, April 25, 2016.
Link is a popular program run by Bike Miami Valley and Greater Dayton RTA. Since its launch on May 5, 2015, Link riders have totaled over 30,000 trips and have attracted over 4,300 unique users to the system.
“We’re excited to see all of the submissions, and the finished products rolling around the city,” says Estandia.
