MANITOU SPRINGS â The PikeRide bike share program just passed its third anniversary in Colorado Springs. At the three year mark, it is expanding with new locations now in neighboring Manitou Springs.
It diversifies transportation options in Manitou Springs.

The addition of PikeRide brings the option of getting to, and around the narrow mountain community without a vehicle.
