Also you can see thatThere are no bike rental Stations in Central WestEnd, and none in East St.louis.

There is a huge space called Forest park that no one has taken advantage of. There is just money sitting there waiting to go to a store or a social service.
There is a great profit waiting there and I plan to take it with my Bike Rental services.

People that come into the tents will be offered a choice of how much time you will have the bike for and the price of usage.
Also they will be offered the option of what kind of bike they want to use.
HOW IT WILL OPERATE

On google maps it estimated only a 15 minute bike ride to downtown St. Louis from the Central West End.
This would be a nightmare of 15 minutes but the great thing about it is that, it will be 15 minutes of riding down Forest Park.
TRAVEL TIME

Though we do trust the people we will install a tracker in every bike so that we can avoid theft.
Also we make them sign an agreement that states and damage on the bike when returned will be fully paid by the operator.
TRACKING

There could be Bike rental Tents all along S Shinker Blvd.
Which would give people full access to Forest park and all the way to Downtown St. Louis where a Bike rental store would be located.

After a person has finished there time with one of our bikes they will be notified by a vibration on the bike to return the bike to a tent or the Bike Rental Headquarters located in downtown St. Louis.
It is there where we will take back the bike and put it back into storage.

It could also help decrease the rate of obesity in the community and make West central End a much more happier place to be.
It would also bring more people into forest park. Being that central west end is basically Forest park.
It would also bring in a good amount of profit. Also it never hurt anyone to try new things.
New York is also trying something very similar to make New York a bike rental city.
HOW ELSE COULD IT HELP?
