Riders can purchase $75 Annual Memberships or $7 24-Hour Passes, which allow riders unlimited trips in that period. “Along with its creation of a network of protected bike lanes and trails and outreach and education programs, Chicago understands the power of bicycle transportation to add value to urban daily life.” “With Divvy, Chicago continues its rise to the top of the nation’s most bicycle friendly cities,” said Mia Birk, Vice President at Alta Bicycle Share, the company that operates Divvy. Divvy will quickly build to 300 stations and 3,000 bikes by the end of August, and 400 neighborhood locations by next spring. This week, the newly launched system will total 75 neighborhood stations and 750 bikes on the street. Of the 4,123 bike trips made from Friday morning to Sunday night, 3,225 were made by annual members, and 898 were from customers who purchased 24-Hour Passes. “Divvy will change the way we move around Chicago.” It also leverages Chicago’s public transit system to help commuters complete the first or last few miles of their trip,” said Chicago Department of Transportation Commissioner (CDOT) Gabe Klein.

“Divvy gives Chicagoans and visitors access to a bike when they want one, without having to worry about storage or maintenance. The bicycles’ distinctive “Chicago Blue” paint is the same color as the stripes on the Chicago city flag, and will provide a high level of visibility on the street. The system is dubbed “Divvy” to reflect the nature of bike share, where members “divide and share” the use of the bikes. More than 1,700 Chicagoans have already signed up for Divvy Annual Memberships at. Each station has a touchscreen kiosk, station map, and a docking system that releases bikes using a Member key or ride code. “Our strong transportation infrastructure is a key factor in the quality of life that attracts businesses and families to Chicago, and we will continue to improve our system.”ĭivvy will feature thousands of bikes at hundreds of stations across Chicago neighborhoods.

“Bike sharing is another transportation option available to ensure that Chicagoans can safely and efficiently travel around the city's neighborhoods,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Chicagoans took their first rides on the Divvy bike share system this weekend, making more than 4,000 trips in the first weekend of operations.
