Summertime, and the travelin' is easy with CDPHP Cycle!
There are now 18 hubs for Saratoga's Bikeshare, CDPHP Cycle!, marked with signature bright green and purple throughout Saratoga Springs!
In it's 9th season remains CDPHP Cycle! a great way to explore the City of Saratoga Springs throughout the summer!
There are SO MANY great ways to use a CDPHP Cycle! bike in town. One of the most popular spots is the Saratoga Spa State Park, and getting from town to the park is a cinch on a bike - just head down Railroad Run on the West Side of town, and, voila!, you've made it!
Biking to the park avoids traffic, parking, and park fees. You could even take a CDPHP Cycle! to a SPAC concert, and lock it at the hub right outside the Spa Little Theatre. And, with the growing network of hubs across town, using CDPHP Cycle! to avoid track season congestion is a realistic option. Just download the free app and, after setting up an account, check to see where available bikes and open hubs are, so you don't have to squeeze a car into downtown.
Prices (including a solid 50% discount for students), as well as detailed instructions for registration and use, can be found online at CDPHP Cycle! The low-down? There are three different user levels: pas as you go, monthly, and seasonal (these last two both entitle the user to 60 free minutes a day). With each package, simply register through the app or website, and enter your account number and PIN (which will be provided to you) on the keypad at the back of the bike.
With all the events across the city this summer, it is the perfect time to try out the system, and see if you'll join the many who love to cycle Saratoga. Learn more on how to ride on the CDPHP Cycle! website!
CDTA's Summer Trolley
For a more relaxed trip, try the FREE summer trolley - another great way to get around without the hassle of parking or traffic. Every Wednesday through Sunday in the summer, July 10 to September 1, CDTA runs a trolley from the North end of town (the Courtyard Marriott), to the Casino Hotel. The route's stops, marked with blue and white sandwich boards, include locations along Broadway and Lincoln Ave, as well as the Saratoga Race Course (full schedule with real-time arrivals here).
Whether it completes a leg of your journey, or takes you all the way to your destination, the trolley gives you the flexibility to enjoy the city with any combination of walking, biking or riding. All you need to bring is yourself!
