Bike Share Program in Pentwater starts
Pentwater Police Department is partnering with the Pentwater Downtown Development Authority (DBA) to promote the use of bicycles in the Village. Beginning today visitors to the Village can take advantage of the new "Bike Share Program".
Pentwater Police Department by resolution of the Village Council made available several bikes which had been recovered and unclaimed. The DBA has fix the bikes and marked them as part of the program. The bikes can be used by anyone visiting the Village. All that is asked is that they be returned to one of the Bike Share racks located at either the Pentwater Village Marina or Channel Lane Park. There is no cost for using this program. Bikes and bike helmets can be found at either location.
In addition to the Bike Share Program a new "Cycle Aid Station" is being installed near the public restrooms at 326 S Hancock Street. There is an air hose available 24 hours a day to fill tires.
The Police Department is reminding all cyclists that they need to follow the rules of the road at all times, stay off the sidewalks, and always remember to wear a helmet.
Anyone with question can contact Claudia at 233-9717 or Pentwater Police Department at 233-7633.

West Michigan Pike Exhibit - June 2 - July 15
Pentwater Historical Museum
85 S. Rutledge St.
A traveling collection of photographs taken by Vincent Musi called "Yesterday on the West Michigan Pike." The Pike was conceived by West Michigan leaders in 1911 so motorists could travel from Chicago up the lakeshore to the Straits of Mackinac on smooth roads instead of deep ruts, mud and sand. Pentwater was marked on that route. "We are excited to now be able to host traveling exhibits like this one," added Bigelow. A second special exhibit is planned for July 21 through September 15 called "Lost and Found Shipwrecks of West Michigan." The museum's displays are constantly evolving. "We continue to add to our permanent collection as people with a connection to Pentwater visit or hear about the museum, and donate artifacts," said Bigelow. Courtesy of Ron Beeber
