By June 2009 the program will have 200 bikes, many made up by the Fort Collins Bike Co-op from found and abandoned bikes given to the Co-op by the City of Fort Collins. Funded, initially, from a grant through the federal CMAQ proram (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) once funding runs out the program will have to become self-sufficient and will rely on low tech volunteers vs. the high tech "swipe and go" of larger programs.
