Last year Tern Bicycles provided attendees at SXSW (South by South West) Conferences & Festivals with an efficient method of transportation around Austin, and now the company has announced that it will once again help attendees navigate through traffic with its SXcycles.
Interestingly this year the program is being sponsored by NBC’s Revolution – the TV series about a world wide blackout that lasted 15+ years. Tern will provide registered conference attendees (Platinum, Gold, Interactive, Film and Music badges) with a health conscious and sustainable way to get between the conference center, outside events, and lodging, at no cost to them.
SXcycles rental includes daily use of one of four Tern bike options. The popular Link D8, Link P9, and Link P7i bikes will be available to nip around town or hop into other transport easily. The full-d Joe C21 will also be available for those who prefer 26″ wheels. Bike rental also includes a light set, a U-style lock, and helmet. In the unlikely event that riders run into any mechanical troubles, Tern will staff a team of mobile mechanics equipped to get riders back en route as quickly as possible and without charge.
