　　At first，40 to 60 bikes will be available only to city workers．People will give their old bikes to the city to use in the program．If this program is successful，one day more than 1000 bicycles will be available．Everyone，not just city workers，will be able to use these bicycles．

　　Fresno's Yellow Bike Program puts about fasty bicycles around the city．The bikes are painted bright yellow so people know they can take them．When people take a yellow bike，they can ride to work or to shopping areas，and then leave the bike for the next rider．
