Growing Green - KIOSK Information Systems Completes B-cycle Deployment for Earth Day Launch

LOUISVILLE, Colo., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Behind the scenes of Denver's much anticipated B-cycle Bike Sharing launch on Earth Day is Louisville's own KIOSK Information Systems (KIOSK). Having worked side by side with the B-Cycle team for over a year on design, manufacturing, and city-wide installation, KIOSK's team is extremely proud to participate in this Earth Day launch milestone.

By selecting Denver as the 1st US city to put bike sharing on the map, B-cycle is contributing to the city's reputation as a leader in environmentally conscious initiatives. Justifiably so, according to KIOSK CEO Rick Malone who states that "The B-cycle kiosk deployment represents an emerging market in Green Self-Service, where everything from the application benefits to the design of the equipment itself contribute to environmental sustainability. The team spent months perfecting a design that goes well beyond 'lip-service' conservation efforts." The kiosks contains eco-friendly design elements such as solar power panels and low-demand computing elements, enabling B-cycle stations to reduce energy consumption up to 80% over a traditionally designed system. KIOSK credits the B-cycle project standards as instrumental in positioning them as a pace-setting market leader in Green / Custom Self-Service Design.

Technology "wow-factor" aside, the 50-kiosk, 500-bike B-cycle deployment has also added fuel to the company's steep growth and profitability in the past year. In addition to B-cycle, KIOSK has won substantial new business associated with Green Self-Service Technology initiatives in the past year, resulting in high-quality new job growth in Engineering, Manufacturing, and Professional Support. KIOSK is projecting 30 – 40% growth in 2010, providing a refreshing economic story within the front-range high-tech corridor.

Malone adds that "KIOSK is both proud and grateful to be a high-tech, American manufacturer on the rise. While there is always a high degree of ownership in our customer's success, the B-cycle deployment is unique because it's unfolding right in our own backyard. Our teams have worked in parallel on the factory floor for months, staging equipment and coordinating complex installation steps – all in preparation for a seamless Earth Day launch. There is tangible enthusiasm at KIOSK around this project because of the obvious transformational change coming to our city and the explosive growth potential of new deployments in other cities. B-cycle has successfully removed the chore of environmental and health change by appealing to our love of all things easy, fun, and cool."
