If you've been wanting to see downtown without a car, today's your day. The DRIFTERS City Bike Share launches this morning after a 10 a.m. ribbon cutting at the Plaza de la Constitución. More than 170 docking stations cover downtown, West King Street, Anastasia Boulevard and St. Augustine Beach.
Renting costs $10 for the first hour and $4.50 for each additional hour, the same for e-bikes and regular bikes. Unlock a bike with the Drifters app, and return it to a dock, or the charges keep coming. Flagler College students get discounts.
