A program to spread bike-sharing kiosks around Houston remains in first gear with only three downtown stations, but supporters are optimistic they can expand the initiative as planned.

In May the city unveiled kiosks in three downtown spots where anyone could procure a bicycle through the B-Cycle program. The locations at City Hall, Market Square Park and the George R. Brown Convention Center were supposed to be followed by other kiosks by the end of the year.
