SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The dockless bike trend has made its way to a local military base.
Starting Thursday, which is Bike to Work Day across San Diego, Lime is bringing its bright bicycles to Naval Base San Diego.
Company officials said they have worked with Navy officials to initially launch the program around “high traffic areas” like base housing and the Navy Exchange store.
