Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

The city of Fort Worth received a $1 million federal grant for a bike-sharing program. It bought 300 bikes at $1,118 each for a total of $335,400. Some very nice bikes are available at Walmart for $99 apiece.

The city also seeks more funding to expand the program. What did it do with the $664,600 left over after the bike purchase? I thought the country was cutting back.
