CityRyde LLC, a public bike sharing consulting firm, was recently named “Green Business of the Year” by Fast Pitch.Owned and operated by three Drexel University entrepreneurs working out of the Laurence A. Baiada Center for Entrepreneurship, CityRyde strives to enable and maximize the environmental, economic, and social benefits of bicycle sharing. Drexel alumni James Perkins and Jason Meinzer and undergraduate business student Timothy Ericson founded CityRyde LLC in November of 2007. The idea for CityRyde was actually generated by Ericson while he was studying abroad in London and was spending a few days in Paris during the launch of the city’s bike-sharing initiative. Innovative and forward-thinking, this start-up truly encompasses the entrepreneurial spirit of the LeBow College of Business.
