Hall Group, in partnership with Zagster Inc., announced the launch of Frisco’s first bike-share program that will provide all Hall Park tenants and visitors with a new method of transportation to get around Hall Park and other destinations in Frisco.

Starting today, 50 bikes will be available at eight stations throughout the 162-acre office park.

“The new bike-share program is going to be a great addition for the employees at Hall Park. It will connect them to all of the park’s amenities—including its fitness center, wine lounge and retail plaza—and will also encourage connectivity between Hall Park and surrounding destinations in Frisco, such as The Star,” said Kim Butler, director of leasing at Hall Group, in a press release.

Riders can join the program for free by downloading and signing up on the Zagster app. Each bike has a unique number that riders enter into the app to obtain a single-use code to open the lockbox on the back of the bike. A key, stored inside and tethered to the lockbox, allows the bike to be locked and unlocked throughout a ride so users can plan their trips around their needs.

The bikes include a storage basket for carrying lunch or other personal belongings. Bikes will also include automatic lights, a bell and full reflectors.

"By providing an efficient and healthy way for employees to get around, bike shares save businesses time and money while promoting active company cultures," Zagster CEO Tim Ericson said in a press release. "Progressive companies like Hall Group are leveraging bike shares to help their tenants attract and retain the best employees."
