Birmingham Alabama launches first in nation electric bike share program..
http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2015/10/birminghams_zyp_bikeshare_prog_1.htmlBirmingham Mayor William Bell said it's been more than a decade since he's ridden a bike, but he donned the helmet Wednesday and led a group ride unlike any the city has seen before.
It was a parade of cyclists from Regions Field to Birmingham City Hall on bikes from the new Zyp BikeShare program.

West said the bikeshare program was the first in North America with electric pedal assist bikes, which have a motor that will help riders get up Birmingham's many hills.
"We are not only launching the most high-tech bikeshare system in the U.S.," she said, "but we are launching the most beautiful system in the world right now."
