A new bicycle sharing program, provided by the City of Salem and Salem State University, will open near the Hawthorne Hotel and at the Salem State Central Campus on Monday, September 26th.
How does Salem Spins work?
For the downtown hub, located at the intersection of Essex Street and Hawthorne Boulevard, you simply need to visit the front desk at the Hawthorne Hotel, where you’ll be supplied
with a key to unlock one of the bicycles. Although there is no charge to borrow a bike, you will need to show a credit card and valid ID for security purposes. It’s an easy transaction,
and an easy and unique way to explore historic Salem…and it's FREE!
A second hub, limited to use by Salem State students and faculty, is located at the Salem State Campus Police Station. A Clipper Card is required for use of the bicycles there.
Salem Spins will be offered from September through November and will re-open after the winter season in March (schedules are weather permitting and the program is active only
during daylight hours).
Program underwriters and sponsors include the Green Communities Division of the MA Department of Energy Resources, the Hawthorne Hotel, and Salem Cycle.
