E-MAIL STORY  
Free Bikes bicycles will bear advertising mounted in the three-sided space in the frame through which worker Caitlin Hill is seen affixing a sign Wednesday in Madison. Free Bikes offers students a semester bike rental, lock and storage and in exchange they ride around with an advertisement affixed to the bike's basket and between the frame. A Free Bikes promotional sticker is affixed to a bike basket in Madison on Wednesday. The idea behind the company Free Bikes is that bikes are given to students at no cost and are paid for by allowing interested companies to advertise on them, using it as a "mobile billboard." Currently the only advertisements will be those promoting Free Bikes, but business owner Matt Lerner hopes to have local and national businesses signed up soon.
