Bike Share Lending Program

A new, free way to explore Cedar Hill is available through the bike lending program at the Zula B. Wylie Public Library. Cedar Hill residents 18 years or older with a library card in good standing can check out a bike overnight to ride around the Historic Downtown or Cedar Hill's world-class trail system. Helmets and locks are provided with the bike rental. A Wal-Mart Neighborhood Grant provided the funding to purchase bikes from the local B and B Bicycle shop.
