Ride. Return. Repeat. 

Share bikes with the Library and Summit Bike Share. 

The Library has partnered with the Ohio Erie Canalway Coalition and their exciting initiative, Summit Bike Share. This program is aimed at promoting bicycles as both a practical mode of transportation and a source of recreational joy within our community. Explore our city on two wheels with ease and convenience.
