Haliburton Rotary has relaunched its bike share program in Haliburton village for another season.

The bikes are free to use by anyone 18 and older and can be unlocked with a smart phone and credit card.

Volunteer Irv Handler noted cards will only be charged if bikes are lost, stolen or damaged.

There are six bikes available to rent for up to three hours, located in Head Lake Park in front of the bicycle caboose, which has also recently reopened.

The bikes can be signed out during daylight hours, currently between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

The program will remain in place through to Thanksgiving.

Handler said this year the bike share is running as part of the Haliburton County Community Cooperative.

Bicycle caboose volunteer Pamela Marsales said the space is open on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. She said a program schedule, including activities for youth, will be released soon
