Simsbury Free Bike program was open for business as of 10 a.m. on July 15.

The program is starting with 10 bikes and one location — Andy’s Market at 836 Hopmeadow St. The bikes will be out front, locked. You go inside to the courtesy desk and say you would like to use a bike and hand over $10 (you get it back), sign a waiver and provide a copy of your license or some identification. You are provided a helmet and the bike lock combination. You have up to 24 hours to use the bike. Once you bring the bike back, you get your money back.

The bikes are all general use and have flat handlebars. The program is for those 18 years old and up, and there are various sized bikes. All the bikes have baskets and locks. You do not have to be from Simsbury to take advantage of the program.

The program will run May 1 to November 1 and will be open to anyone.

For questions about Simsbury Free Bike, visit the courtesy desk at Andy's Market or call 860-651-8839.

An official kickoff is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 20 in front of Andy's. All are invited.
