The City of Toronto has just launched a BIXI bike sharing program that will be rolled out this spring in downtown Toronto neighbourhoods. This green urban initiative has been successful in other big cities from Melbourne to Montreal and Washington to Chicago. Toronto residents will now have year round access on a 24/7 basis to BIXI bicycles which they can use to run errands, commuting to work, or just visiting friends.
The cost to join this program is $95 per year. Small usage fees apply if bikes are taken out for longer than 30 minutes at a time.
There are 80 terminals set to open right away. Powered by solar panels these docking point terminals are user friendly as members just have to insert a BIXI key to release the bicycle and off you go.
The BIXI bicycles are easy-to-use 3 speeds with comfortable seats and tires designed for the urban jungle. A practical carrying rack is fitted on each bike. Bicycle safety is excellent with lighting at the front and rear of the bicycle, front and rear brakes and bicycle reflectors.
