LeBron James and Lyft are partnering to expand bikeshare access and equity across the country by providing thousands of young people with free, one-year bikeshare memberships.
James said riding bikes gave him a sense of independence growing up as a kid in inner-city Akron, Ohio.
Biking allowed James to clear his mind, he said, adding "it's a segue to be able to do so many things that can also carry you for the rest of your life." He was at the Y to help surprise 50 New York teenagers with a free bike membership.For Lyft, the partnership is part of their efforts to offer transportation access to those who need it most.
"He was one of the first people to believe in me and the company," says Zimmer. "We always wanted to find a way to work together and find something truly authentic," he added.
