Two years ago I was in Barcelona, Spain. The city has an awesome biking city whereby you go to a bike “station”, (like a bus stop) and you swipe your card and get a “city bike” and bike to your destination. You drop off your bike at the nearest “bike station”. I love it!Now Toronto is doing it!
The City of Toronto and the Public Bike System Company are launching the BIXI Toronto program - 1,000 bikes, 80 BIXI stations. Last year after City Council approved the program, 1,000 people bought memberships to use the system.
The program is intended for people in Toronto who bike less than 30 minutes in which case the bike rental is free. If you ride longer than 30 minutes you pay a user fee. The program launches this May.
What a great idea! Possibly fewer cars and a healthy way to travel. Man, I hope there’s bikes in Heaven!
