City Bikes Manufacturer Linus Bikes Comments on New York Citys New Bike Share Program

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) August 16, 2012

On August 16, City Bikes Manufacturer Linus Bikes commented on the first New York City bike sharing program called Citi Bike. Citi Bike is poised to launch with 7,000 strategically located rentable bicycles across parts of New York, making this the largest program to date in the United States. Following a recent expansion of city bike lanes, the program is designed to be an alternate form of travel for the millions of city residents who make daily use of mass transit.

As detailed by the BBC, New York Citys Department of Transportation estimates that half of the daily commutes in the city are less than 2 miles. With an initial launch of 7000 bikes and 420 stations, Citi Bike is placing rental stations in areas with heavy foot traffic, like Grand Central Station. The program will initially be focused on lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, with the city already planning a large expansion for 2013. The rental bikes are armored, high-tech velocipede drones; outfitted with GPS for trip tracking, front and rear lights that glow upon pedaling, heavy-duty tires and a thick frame.

Linus Bikes representative China Reevers comments, This is certainly one of the most ambitious bike sharing programs to date. New York has certainly done their homework, and introducing a fleet of bikes to the populace will hopefully add to the citys clean air initiative, promoting a healthier option for a daily commute. This combination of a greener planet and healthier living is what Linus Bikes is all about.

While the green movement continues to grow, cities are taking an increased interest in other transit options as other cities embrace bike sharing programs. Reevers adds, Doubts about the viability of bike sharing programs should diminish as these programs gain popularity and expand. If New Yorks Citi Bike program can prove to be successful, it should only pave the way for future bike sharing programs. Our bicycles arent only for commuting but they are to help encourage a healthy lifestyle.

Linus Bikes is a California-based bicycle manufacturer that specializes in creating vintage style city bikes and commuter bikes. Not simply a bicycle company, Linus Bikes sells a complete line of accessories for the environmentally conscious and for those who have a fondness for European style bicycles and the great tradition of European cycling.

Improved Illumination Selects Top Rated LED Lighting Manufacturer, Expands Energy Efficiency Lighting Options and Offerings


Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 31, 2012

Over the last 12-15 months, Improved Illumination has spent a tremendous amount of time interviewing, meeting with, researching and evaluating numerous LED manufactures and supplies. Our goal, as LED reliability has improved and the fixture cost has decreased, has been to add a proven LED offering to our already existing suite of cost saving exterior and interior lighting fixtures. says James Feeney, Managing Director of Improved Illumination. We are very impressed with not only the reliability of NextGens product offerings but their commitment in providing the highest level of customer satisfaction as well.

There is no One Size Fits All in the lighting world says Feeney. The application is the key. Take for example, Parking Garages or Parking Lot Lighting. If you own, run or manage a parking facility, with Metal Halide lamps currently installed, you know they are expensive to run, labor intensive to replace and when these bulbs burn out, leave dangerous unlit areas that may increase the risk to your visitors and/or decrease the customer experience.

Improved Illumination is a third party, unbiased provider of cost saving, energy efficient lighting solutions. Unlike others who represent only one particular lighting technology product line, Improved illumination has strong relationships with leading Induction, Fluorescent and now a LED lighting technology provider. This allows Improved Illumination to expand its ability and continue to suggest the most appropriate energy savings solution for our clients individual requirements and specific lighting applications. Feeney added.

We look forward to working with NextGen Illumination and providing well designed lighting recommendations that exceeds our fast growing list of clients expectations surrounding 5 major factors:

Better Light: covering color rendering and consistency, More Energy Efficient: consume 50-85% less energy, Less Maintenance: Longer lamp life, less replacement, fewer service calls, Environmentally friendly: less greenhouse gasses, smaller carbon footprint and Saving Money: reduced monthly lighting expenses, payback in months, not years.

Improved illumination (http://www.improvedillumination.com) provides exterior and interior lighting solutions to commercial, industrial, educational and government clients. Based in Metro West, Boston, Improved illumination works with Parking Facilities, Warehouses, Hospitals, Lodging Organization, Auto Dealerships and a host of others to evaluate and make cost savings suggestions to reduce our clients lighting/energy consumption. These benefits provide a solid ROI and a payback measured in months not years.

James Feeney can be reached at 508 801 9205 or jfeeney(at)improvedillumination(dot)com and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your current lighting configuration and undertake a no-obligation LEAP evaluation for your organizations locations.
