Coast Bike Share Expands
Coast continues to experience about a 30 percent growth rate each year. Tampa Downtown Partnership is contributing to that growth by underwriting ten new Coast Bike Share racks to complement the 100 new bikes soon being added to the fleet. This will increase the system to 40 hubs and 400 bikes.
Bike Friendly Businesses
In 2015, Tampa Downtown Partnership created a
Bicycle Friendly Business campaign
to recognize leading downtown businesses embracing cycling for their employees and customers. This effort resulted in the City of Tampa ranking number one in the State of Florida and top ten in the country with over 30 certified Downtown businesses offering special incentives for customers arriving on bike. (Tampa Downtown Partnership is the only Gold certified non-bike shop business in the state and in 2016 we won a state-wide award from the Florida Bicycle Association as the best ‘bike-friendly business’.)
Downtown Tampa’s Bicycle Fun Facts:
The Downtown and
Central City Y
are both offering a $15 Commuter Membership. It includes use of lockers and showers throughout the month plus access to in-door spin classes.

Tampa Downtown Partnership has added over 250 bike parking medallions on meter posts, free-standing racks and four self-repair stations (on Tampa Riverwalk near The Sail, Laurel Street,HART’s Marion Transit Center and the Dept. Kopfila Memorial dog park).
All HART buses have bike racks at the front of each vehicle.
In 2016, the City of Tampa was nationally recognized as a
Bicycle Friendly Community
.
Tampa is #1 in Florida and Top 10 nationally for number of certified Bicycle Friendly Businesses.
Tampa was ranked one of the
Top 50 Best Biking Cities
