BikeShare is not currently running, but you can read the information to get an idea of how the popular program ran and replicate it if you like! We currently rent out bikes at a cheap daily rate.

We are also exploring ways to continue bikesharing. If you have any ideas please contact us!

BikeShare was an innovative community bicycle-lending program in downtown Toronto that provides its members with access to a fleet of bright yellow bikes. BikeShare was an active program, and visible part of Toronto's cycling culture, from 2001 to 2006.

BikeShare had 16 hubs spread throughout Central Toronto, located at stores, cafes and community centres such as Bike Joint, Jet Fuel, 519 Community Centre and Massryk Cowan Community Centre. The hub staff volunteered their time to sign bikes in and out to members. At its peak BikeShare had over 400 members and 150 bikes. Each retro single-speed bike was equipped with lock, bell, basket and reflector tape. They could be taken out for up to three days at a time and dropped off at any hub.

A season pass was $30 for students, $50 regular, and $75 for supporters (who could also name a BikeShare bike). For those who couldn't afford $30, a minimum of 4 hours of volunteer service for any community agency or group was accepted.
