Partnering with Republic Bike, a leader in the design of personalized, custom bikes, Chance Partners' Tuscaloosa properties will offer a fleet of custom-designed bikes available for use by their residents, giving them the ability to avoid the campus parking decks and instead bike directly to their class as well as use the bikes for every day errands and exercise.

"Residents at our Riverfront Village, Boulevard Lofts and Green Bear properties seek exciting, urban experiences that offer fulfilling lifestyles through an abundance of amenities.  The bike share program we're implementing with Republic Bike will only add to the fast-paced, urban experience our tenants already enjoy", said Jeffrey Rosen, Vice President at Chance Partners.  "In addition to living in downtown Tuscaloosa's best properties, our residents will now have new ways to explore and experience the wonderful aspects of their surroundings, including the Riverwalk, the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, the University of Alabama campus and scenic downtown Tuscaloosa," Rosen added.

Republic Bike, the leading custom bicycle manufacturer, works with corporate clients such as Google, Nike and Intuit to create fleet bicycles for sharing programs and corporate transportation. Republic Bike also develops fleets for residential properties and hotels that are looking to create stylish and practical bicycles for their guests and residents.

Chance Partners' bike share program is the first of its kind to be offered in Tuscaloosa and to University of Alabama students.  Residents and students in Tuscaloosa will start to see the bikes around town by the end of the month.
