The city of Phoenix has installed the first protected bike lanes in the city on 15th Avenue between Van Buren and Jefferson streets, a press release said.

The cheerful green bikes seen around Phoenix are provided by Grid Bike Share, a business designed for safe bike rentals.

It's a push to make streets safer for bicyclists. The City of Phoenix is moving forward with plans to put in more protected bike lanes after the death of a downtown ambassador.

As Phoenix becomes the first Valley city to regulate bike sharing, other cities and one of the companies are watching closely.

As Phoenix scraps its dockless bike program, it is looking to launch an e-scooter pilot program. Scooters are currently banned under Phoenix law, but the council can change that.

The city of Phoenix will install a temporary bike lane along Roosevelt Row to connect two bike lanes after complaints from bicyclists.

Phoenix Bikes relies on donations, both financial and bikes. The shop gets about 1,000 bikes donated a year, says Gage, all going towards helping students learn to fix, build, and maintain a bike.
