NASHUA – After launching in early June, VeoRide bikes have provided eco-friendly transportation at a low cost to the community, and as winter rolls in, a smaller fleet will still be available for folks to ride.

Earlier this week, VeoRide set up booths along Main Street offering downloads for donuts, where anyone who downloaded the app could then receive a donut. The bikes cost 50 cents for 15 minutes of use.

About 25 of the bikes will still be available through the winter months at two locations on the opposite ends of Main Street – City Hall and Riverside BBQ.

“We have been pleased with how the community has embraced bike share and used it for transportation and recreation the past several months,” VeoRide Communications Director Linda Jackson said in an email.

She said they currently are planning to bring all the bikes back to the market once spring arrives, with hopes to also pilot a few fat tire bikes in the city as well.

“Ridership is down in the wintertime, but overall, we believe the usage has been good, as anticipated,” Jackson added.
