With the additon of these four new stations and 25 new bikes, Penn State's Zagster bike share program is now comprised of 110 bikes across 21 stations.
Annual memberships for Zagster are $25 for students and $35 for faculty and staff. To learn more and to sign up for the Penn State Zagster program, visit zagster.com/psu.
