City's bike-sharing push pleases Hill

U.S. Rep. French Hill touted Conway's new public bicycle-sharing program in a speech on the House floor last week.

"As a longtime biker, I'm pleased to see the city work to provide an alternative and convenient source of transportation for residents of Conway to help relieve congestion and promote a healthier city," the Republican from Little Rock said.
