🚲 Why We Include Loaner Bikes in Our Communities
At Village Redevelopment, we believe bikes can transform how people experience their neighborhoods. While cars have their place, riding a bike is greener, healthier, and way more fun! Whether you’re commuting to work, grabbing a coffee, or meeting friends for a Padres game, biking lets you connect with your city in a unique, refreshing way.
Our Felton Street Community provides tenants with loaner bikes and even a cargo e-bike, encouraging everyone to explore San Diego’s best spots without the hassle of parking or gas. Plus, it’s a great way to exercise, be social, and rediscover the joy of riding a bike.
